Cool, yep! @ClockFace
Those all sound like clinical support. I guess I should have been more specific. Do you have any peer support? Or is the forum where you go for that? I'm genuinely interested.

@ClockFace Ah, bummer.
Well, I'm no peer support worker, I'm just a dude on heavy medication!
But, I'm here at the moment, nonetheless. You seem pretty cool to me. *shrugs*

I hear the heavy medicated lol.
As a rule I try to let people be who they are, accept them as is and work with what I have. Its hard with them, Im not overtly rude or disrespectful to them but I have some very negative feelings where they are concerned. Theres stuff that happened in my past and their reaction and involvement was less than ideal and thats caused a much larger rift than they realised, me too until I confronted it a bit more head on. Being brought up in a very religous family what the parents did was correct and couldnt be challenged, turns out thats wrong and so was what they did or didnt do. But, they dont want to deal with it so Im left in a crap spot, I chose to not have an attitude with them as much as I can and just get on with them. They are aware of my problems with them, they sweep everything under the rug.
Cheers mate, Im gonna try and get some sleep, keep posting Ill respond in a couple hours lol

okay, I won't tag you this time!
I hear you about parents. I just let a post go about my dad in my thread Day Dreamer; Night Wanderer . Have a look if you like, but only if that's within your scope of coping.
I'll probably go back and read through some of the earlier stuff you wrote, if I have nothing else later and can't sleep. It can't possibly be as confronting as the novel I'm reading about a SecUnit bot/human construct and it's best friend Perihelion the AI supercomputer transport ship!

Yeah ended up with what is fast becoming the standard 3 hours lol.
I try to remember that they were young when it was all happening too, but I still get stuck with, they should have done something, it was their responcibility. My Dad is still the same way, I talk to him about the issues Im having with Mum and I get "I dont know what to do" and then he walks away. FFS how about, anything. How about you stand up for me, how about you have my back like I have yours all the time.
If I can manage to actually settle and sit down and read Ill have a read of yours. It amazes me how much damage parents can do and are doing to kids with out even trying.
