Miss A,
I for one, have NO problem whatsoever with you being a part of our community. You carry yourself in a very mature manner, and think you could learn a lot to help deal with your own personal issues. I also give you a lot of credit for "rolling with the punches" on this thread. You definitly show maturity beyond your years
I think the one thing many members here are forgetting is this IS a community - diverse in diagnoses, culture, gender AND age. Just some food for thought.
