A personal note from me:

I know I will get hate. I'm trying to change, and I hope that in the best circumstances people would view me with understanding. To know it would be excruciatingly painful (suicidally so) if I ripped all my defenses away too quickly. I understand it's easy to hate me. But I didn't ask to become this messed up, and me and my empath both want to get to a point where we are married happily and I do not need anyone but myself and him as a source of happiness, fulfillment or stability.
