https://www.brianribbon.com/home/dont-d ... ve-supportI've written before about how those telling us to 'get help' can get fucked. Such comments tend to be directed at anyone not ashamed of their feelings, regardless of whether there is any intention of acting on them.
I stand by what I said, but I do feel there is a need to emphasize the difference between affirmative support, particularly between peers, and the awful kind of 'help' that our detractors demand.
