Many people won't be receptive to this history and information until they are ready for change in their own lives. Instead it will just disturb them and make them angry. And I don't write this with judgment, because it took me a long, long time during which I frustrated a lot of people before I was ready to change my own situation.
As far as what you have to share, Trailmix, you share a ton of wisdom and compassion here, which is something that many people need. Don't undervalue this. And I'm glad you raised this thread.
I hope other people who have been through this and come out in a better place chime in.
