[a lot of medical stuff that sounds really important]
Sorry, I'm not the most awake right now, and medicalese is very much a foreign language to me that I have never quite been able to master, but as a survivor of nonviolent domestic abuse by a close family member (for better or worse, we are no longer speaking -- I would have preferred to continue the relationship, because of who it was precisely, but that was impossible) amongst other maladies and neglects, I just wanted to say, I'm sorry for what you're going through and what you've been through, Luke, and that I hope things are getting better for you -- and that they continue to do so.
As an aside, if you are at all considering legal action against those who hurt you, you may not want to name them publicly as that can lead to libel/slander counter-suits (expensive and annoying, if nothing else) and the like... besides, they do not really deserve to be named in the first place. Giving voice to such things has power, and it seems they have too much of that already ;3
I know it's hard, a lot of the time, but -- sunny side up, hey?
