Good to hear Easeful!

Once you get in the loop with local groups, hopefully you will feel more supported and be able to find some good people to share your ESH with.

Hi easeful -

I think that's a good idea. (the whole public health thing and all that other)

Listen -

I had this thought on my days off ... about the whole video game thing.

Look.
This kid's life has just become un-understandable.

That's what Stone was trying to get across to you.

He lived it.
Like it or not - he did.

Playing a video game - an aspect that came to me that I felt compelled to get back here to tell you -
a video game -
is predictable.
is maneuverable.
is quit - able.
is controllable.
It's a define-able world in a world - where all hell just broke loose.

There's the potentiality for a lot of comfort in a video game when you approach it from that angle. Comfort that no one around him ... can provide right now.
