    • I'm falling for a long-distance "bad boy trying to turn good" who has PTSD and traumatic family/past, afraid of it possibly being mistake but I'm not ready to let go: What should I do?? Please help!

  • I know exactly how you feel, friend. Happy to help :)

  • The regret and heartache is reasonable to feel for a little while - for individuals like him, they often need to do work on themselves on the scale of decades, not months or years. It would be a major lifestyle choice to be the committed, supportive partner/caretaker to someone like that. And it takes major emotional labor and can potentially be dangerous. Scars highly likely.

    Feel good about doing what you can to help the person along in their journey while maintaining your own healthy boundaries.

    And remember to be compassionate to yourself.

  • Watch out for the charmers that do the equivalent of love bombing but with charm. Once they have charmed your pants off, the charm stops and the harm starts. That early charm can be a classic abuser trait.

  • Not all that glitters is gold, and not all that excites is good.

  • Ask yourself this: would you be willing to lose everything to fall for this man? If not, back away from him and keep your eyes on your goals.

    • If somebody spends the whole day watching fox or religious propaganda, gets worked up and all he can think of is owning a liberal or converting an unbeliever, is this person a victim or just gullible?

    Jump

  • Being abnormally gullible can be a symptom of some types of mental health issues. Extremely gullible people, especially, deserve compassion.

    • The Canadian State Is Euthanizing Its Poor and Disabled

    Jump

  • It’s mostly the same in America - I have an invisible disability or two and it has been next to impossible to get access to the social safety net. The only viable avenue, if you aren’t visibly disabled, is to hire an attorney to work with the system.

    That takes an humongous effort that not everyone can sustain on their own.

    Why aren’t these systems activated at the point of diagnosis, for example? How many gaps are there in the safety net, really?

  • ““I’ve come to realize,” wrote Appel, “that euthanasia in Canada represents the cynical endgame of social provisioning with the brutal logic of late-stage capitalism — we’ll starve you of the funding you need to live a dignified life [. . .] and if you don’t like it, why don’t you just kill yourself?””

    Sums up how that would go in America, too.
