Hey, all. An apology and kinda a goodbye.

Here's the deal -- I have been beyond way over the top lately. That one weird post I made Saturday was so embarrassing I just self deleted the thing.

I keep trying to make sense of all of this, from the start to today. Some of it is senseless, it seems to be just the expression of fear and shame over and over again.

In fact, I have been posting so much on here it seems to be all I do at times. If it had a point, I guess it would be a different story, but often no point at all, as I said above.

Also, I'm not sure at this point if this is helping, I am beginning to feel like it makes it worse because it allows me to wallow in my own despair, and that is not working for me.

I need to grow up at age 47. Bad things happen in the world, to good people, and I still consider myself a good guy in spirit if not in fact despite all of this. It seems so unfair, because it is unfair, and crying over it won't stop it, if it happened it happened.

I found myself upset again tonight driving home over something so simple yet full of meaning. I used to listen faithfully to NPR during my commute, All Things Considered has been like an old friend since my college days in the 80's. I haven't even turned on the radio for months, I just listen obsessively to pop and rock on my iPod. Tonight, I turned it on for a few miles, and had to turn it off because I couldn't stand to listen, it made me sad for everything I feel like I lost.

I keep thinking about Hester Prynne of 'The Scarlet Letter' fame. I feel like I have a big mark on my chest, MI for mentally ill. And that everyone knows it. I really do feel like a parolee, too, like I will always be scrutinized in all of my actions. And I don't like that at all. It makes me ashamed of myself, and it makes me feel like I have lost my freedom. One of the reasons I was always attracted to Democratic politics and liberalism is because it is founded in the concept of dignity and freedom of self-determination of the individual supported by the better angels of human nature. I even lost that, when I went to vote, I did it absentee ahead of time. My excuse was I wouldn't available. The real truth, it used to mean so much to me, and this year I was voting blind, I had no idea about the down-ballot races or the ballot proposals. I didn't even know which judicial candidates were D's and which R's, and I know I voted wrong on some of them. And that hurt, too.

I don't know how I will ever get rid of the feeling that I did something gravely wrong. I keep being told by some people it is just a biologically based condition, but I myself feel it is a grave moral failing on my part. I don't know if I can conquer this, or if it will conquer me. Again, it seems so unfair, my father was a monster, I always tried to be the opposite of him to the best of my ability, and now I am what he was, a monster.

And I don't know if I can trust the mental health system. It seems to me that it does as much harm as good, and that it tears people down faster than it builds them up. I have met so many people in this experience who I thought were just trapped in a downward spiral forever. After multiple hospitalizations and drugs and therapy they are barely functional and can't even see the daylight.

I didn't want that to be me, but I really on the continental divide on this one, I feel it could go either way. And I don't know how to avoid falling over the edge into darkness when it seems like everything reminds me of my shame and everything takes me down.

I don't know what will happen. I need to take this up with the pro's I can trust. Maybe it will help.

Thank you for everything. Your friendship really has meant the world to me. I am going to stay away for a while. If things improve and I find a path out that allows me to look myself in the mirror again, I would like to come back and share that. And I won't entirely disappear, I need my MFM fix in the Lounge, it lets me forget for just a minute.

Thanks and bye.

Man I do think its something kid related now. I rarely hear people call parents a monster unless they were abused. My own father was a controlling piece of work but he was no monster; just a very flawed and probably emotionally troubled human being. Now that he calls himself a monster too. Yeah quite sure that's a confession of doing the same things as 'monster dad' and I'm guessing this man has no kids of his own so he isn't talking in some over wrought mode of his own parenting mistakes. Eeks...

You're right.  I  think he's the one who said his Dad would come home from work and dress up in drag.

Got it.  I actually took the time to read all of it instead of just glazing over the hyperbolic screaming.  Yeah, he's done something to a kid...

What I found amusing, in a pathetic way, is that Dennis the Menace deleted his comments at that campfire on Skins's island, perhaps thinking it would be gone from google too.

Oooops, no.

The comments still exist right here, in the DUmpster.

Which is why I constantly suggest that my fellow alum Skins ban the mentally-ill from commenting; they're not competent enough to be careful about what they write.

Yeah, here's his quote.

Quote from:
For the record, yes, I am furious about a lot of things, not just what I feel was done to me. Everything was coming out today, especially bitter memories of my father when I was a kid. Really bitter, in fact. I've shared this before, he was completely gone. When I was under about 8 or 9, I just wanted the kind of dad who would take me out in the back yard and throw a baseball to me. Instead, my father was a really creepy transvestite who would come home, pull all the drapes, go into the bathroom in his suit and tie, and come out a few minutes later in women's negligees, and a bra with enough foam padding to make Dolly Parton look flat chested. Nice thing to subject a young boy to, huh?

Dad was a typical lib.

I'm surprised he admits that sexual perversions are a negative influence on children.  I expect the alphabet mafia will chase him off the island for his heresy.

He is tormented.

He wants to be sane, and at the same time he wants to remain a primitive.

One can be one thing or the other thing.  One can't be both things at the same time.

He's very conflicted, and it's tearing him apart.

He might as well surrender to the side he really prefers, and just remain a primitive.

If Dennis the Menace is lurking here, he needs to understand that those people telling him it's biological are lying.

Behind his back they're conspiring against him, inventing stories for law enforcement, and soon the police will come swooping down on him.

His problem consists of a grave, fatal, moral crime, inherited from his father.

Dennis the Menace is truly a monster. Hope this helps him to understand and take action.
