Actually I met her and it went way better than I expected - so maybe there's hope for me yet. We clicked right away. She's also alcohoic - sober for 4 years, has suffered from Depression and was SA'd by her older brother - the same one that abused me. She brought it up, I didn't, but it was good to get some external validation that he was one sick puppy. She works as a peer support worker for a community mental health agency, so we had a fun time *****ing about the short commings of mental health care in ON, different treatment centres, and what it was like to be open about MH issues at work. Turns out we even know a bunch of the same people through the psych hospital I got treated at, and now volunteer at. We're going to get together again next month.
