The fact I'll die alone without ever feeling the love of a woman besides my mother and without a child saddens me. So, as kind of a consolation, I want to know... How does it feel? Being in love and being together, the sex part, just living together and all that...

I really enjoyed reading your story. It's honest about your faults and kind to yourself at the same time. I hope I can find a way to see my own life in a similar way.

Thank you.

It's taken a long time, and I'll be honest and admit that a good amount of what was written above was by the more adult and rational parts of my mind, than the emotive bits. I'm still working through a lot of shame, and on bad days it's still floods back, but usually less than before.

There's many thousands of steps ahead of you, but you'll get there, I believe in you.
