First, I’m really happy to read that you feel good within yourself and your relationship. Those are difficult things to secure, and it’s wonderful that you’ve found a path that works for you. That said, I really struggled with this section. Many people don’t have access to culturally safe mental health care – to suggest that their relationships are doomed to fail is stigmatizing and factually inaccurate. As a psychiatric and drug war survivor, as well as one who dedicates my life to activism on both fronts, I take great issue with the assumption that psychiatry will somehow “fix” me. It has been an enormous source of trauma in my life, and has greatly contributed to my passive suicidality. I have learned that the people who are worth keeping around respect my autonomy, and respect that after the life I’ve lived, suicide would be a very rational conclusion. Again, I’m not trying to tell you how to be in relationships, but I would appreciate being afforded the same agency.
