I know I can always rely on SR to "tell me like it is", which sometimes translates to "telling me like I don't want it to be". I've spent a number of years living in that place in Egypt...you know, the jolly ol' land of De-Nial, and I'd grown accustomed to swallowing down XAH's b.s. and repeating it as if it were God's own truth. Having certain members here tell me how they saw my situation, standing from the outside, was quite a shock. I'd sometimes find myself freaking out while posting, afraid of my situation, afraid of what people would say, but desperately needing answers (and not "the truth" as XAH spouted it). I've come to rely on SR's support and honesty and I can openly say I have nothing like it IRL.
I'm glad you came to a personal realization and that it'll help you move forward in your journey.
