Controversy/out of the box/scary for some: Yes. My theory is people need to assign reasons and blame for the cause of the illness, pain, problems... We have a need to label and put it far away so we can assure ourselves a life free of dread and potential of "bad things" happening. Fear twists us in so many ways.

I am sad that you have been dealing with negative people issues also.

Whatever your experience, writing openly, raw and honestly is the point and purpose, isn't it?
