My point has been made?
I made on post with very few words, and then finally snapped.
I see *one* apology, not numerous ones.
I don't think hurt is the right word.. i work *so* hard to break down stigma around PD, on top of my normal job. I work hard to improve treatment for people with a PD. I put my money where my mouth is and not just sit back and complain.
have I been hurt by friends? Sure I have.. I had one friend try to seriously mess my life up and cause me enormous amounts of grief.. But do I come posting about all blonde women being manipulators? nope. I have many friends with a PD, and yeah, I've had to walk away from a few of those.. just like I have had to walk away from other friendships.. People with bi-polar, people with schizophrenia.
In my eyes it is NEVER acceptable to speak about *any* group of people, just because of a diagnoses.
is your diagnoses one of PD? Might you feel different if it was? No one has the right to say such things about me. No one.
Its fine to be angry.. Its fine for her to discuss her friend and what her friend is doing. It is not OK to call veryone with a diagnoses of a PD disgusting.. too many people believe that already, that we're all just manipulators.
Would everyone be accepting if she had made a statement about "all black people".. or "all jewish people"
No. But, its fine, because its PD people?
