You're awesome! Thanks for sharing your experiences. I could relate to a lot of it - bouncing from therapist to therapist and so on.

So one of the best things about being in straight for 15 months and then having to internalize it for over 25 years is that I have gotten to meet and become friends with wonderful people like you Sammie.  You are the best.  Lemme see now...my straightling friends are SammieM, ChrisT, BobP, EddieD, GingerW, KenR, DanL, RichardB, WesF, LeighB,even my old time foster bro from straight, DavidK.  David has quite a bit of learning to do about what straight and its legacy programs, but every one in their own time.  Hmm...gotta be more than that!  I also have acquiantences (sp) that I am fond of from this site.  Those people are too darn many to list.  So if there is one silver lining from being in straight, it is that I have some wonderful friends that will not desert me when I make mistakes, or put my foot in my mouth, or when I disagree with one of them, or even when I am accused of something that I didn't do (that is how I lost some so-called friends from straight).  My true friends, don't leave me. And, if I have left anyone out...forgive me but my brain is a bit cooked with tiredness.

Best to all the straightlings out there - may be some day if I am lucky, I will need my toes to count my friends on.

Sammie,

You sound like a great person.
I've read many of your posts.
You express things that many of us still have a hard time talking about.
Posts like yours help people like myself and others get this stuff out, and hopefully collectively heal.

I wish you nothing but peace and love in life.

The way in which a man accepts his fate and all the suffering it entails, the way in which he takes up his cross, gives him ample opportunity-even under the most difficult cirumstances-to add deeper meaning to his life.  It may remain brave, dignified an

I have to say one thing I took from STRAIGHT that today I am happy for. I was assulted the other day by a 22 yr old boy and well.... I didn't cower and I didn't freak out I just defended my self and kicked some ass! WOW!
It was nice to know that I could protect myself. :smile:
