I asked him tonight to make a post about something that is troubling him. With luck he will, soon.

He has spent a lifetime suffering from being mocked for waht he sees as a physical deficiency. The mocking was familial, not anywhere else. And it has affected him deeply to the extent that he worries heavily about it.

I am hoping he will have the burst of courage he wil need to speak for the first time here. That will be a big step for him.

I hope he does - someone, though probably not me, may be able to help.

Well, Dad (Tim), between all of us here, we can offer a HUGE net and arms to surround for your friend. I will try to help also if I can. Being riddiculed is always a cruel thing but sometimes negatives can be changed to positives. Smile

BEEG HUGS for you friend. Smile

He's a real nice guy, made to feel insecure about himself when there is just no need.
