Anon. Think about what you're saying. It's hypocritical. You say that
you are what they made you,
now. Well, perhaps one or more of the people who were named in a previous post are much the same way: how Straight made them. I think it's quite possible that, after all these years, many Straight survivors -- abusers and abusees alike (and many were both), however scarred -- have lived enough, loved enough, matured enough to have not only gone on with their lives, but changed for the better. As a survivor myself, who has had the pleasure of meeting other survivors, I know that the possibility of change -- of recovery, if you will -- is very real.
It seems to me that, by harboring all this resentment about what people did to you years ago, YOU are the one to blame for not giving YOURSELF the possibility of recovery. You, and others, who regurgitate your harbored resentment in the form of vulgar, profane, childish, and ultimately useless insults.
Please note that the recovery I speak of here has nothing to do with steps, alcohol, drugs, and the like -- it has to do with growing up and getting over things that happened to you when you were younger... And not blaming other young people who were exposed to the same sick, twisted environment that has left you so
fucked up, even
now, so many years later.
