Dear RJ42,
I find it amazing (in a bad, horrifying way) that there are people out there who would call a disabled person terrible names! No matter what their age, they sound like trashy people.
Thank you for your service. I am also a veteran but did not serve in combat. Did you become disabled as a result of your service to our country? Did you serve in a war zone? Whether you did or not, I am sorry about your disability. I know it is harder to recover from depression when you are disabled, in pain (?), were abused as a child, alone, etc. I hope that someday you can find a friend that you can trust. I think there are people who understand the L word but I also think that in modern society, we tend to isolate to the point that good people don't socialize the way they need to.
Please keep posting. Sincerely, Myst
