For me it's way easier to talk about things on the net, but that is because I have been posting on the internet for a loonng time. It's really, really hard to talk about this kind of stuff in real life, and could only really get it out to my family after having a complete meltdown. Not so fun, heh.
I'm keen to look around this site and gather information, the book that comes with this site looks very interesting and useful...or maybe it's a different site...this one...
