What am I getting myself into.

I am black woman with a history of verbal, physical and sexual abuse and rape. AD/HD and deppression. 2 kids both with AD/HD.

I have been talking to a white guy in a abuse support group online who is across the country from me and in a psych ward with complex PTSD. I think I love him.

What the hell do I do now???

Possible trouble. You love him? Have you ever even met in person with him?

He has problems and so do you. You know nothing about him and you love him? Take this internet meeting and go slow withh it.

Love without knowing a person. You never met him and only chat with on the net. Makes sense to me. /sarcasm.

Yeah, I guess love maybe to strong of a word. But I am definitely becoming emotionally attached to him. Never met in person, no. Never been in this situation but this is a strong feeling I'm not used too.

Treat people you meet online like you would a celebrity or good character you admire in a book. You have to really meet someone to get to know them and most people met online are not practical to meet in person. If he's across the country in a psych ward, that's pretty "far" away from anywhere you're likely to be? You might as well love Denzel Washington :-)

I agree with the others here. You need to be careful.

I don't like the answers but you all are right. I'm just being silly.
Thanks..

I did meet my husband online 11 yrs ago. we were lucky though and not all meetings go as well. you really have to be careful. take it slow.

Is'nt it strange? people can meet and date for a year or so,get married, and within a couple of years one or both of them want out. Relationships are what you make of them.the circumstances are excuses we use when we decide to quit. follow your heart, it knows all.
