Abba Rabbit, just wanted to add that you are one of the most beloved of the group here. I think many of us feel protective of you. I know I do. So-Pax-are you keeping your Abba Rabbit screen name?

I'm looking forward to hearing more animal stories from you!

Clearly you are beloved here on bww, Paxton, I cant see one screenname missing from your well wishers. I'd like to add my voice and say that I'm proud of you, and think your amazing, and know you have great strength. You have proven that already with your amazing journey so far. My wish is that every day that journey gets easier for you.

Glad you are back!

HELLO PAXTON!! And Welcome Back! Your presence has truly been missed and I think you are now and have always been a truly inspiring individual. I think you are an awesome dude and will make an excellent role model for those who may have faced the same challenges and fears as yourself. If you ever need a virtual hug, a positive confidence boost, or even just a laugh, I think you'll find many of us more than willing to lend a hand.

MUCH LOVE!!
XOXOXO
Matt

Wow, what a story Paxton.

Thank god that there are places like IOL that helped you sort this emotionally and provide support.
And bless your wonderful parents too!

Good to have you back.

welcome, paxton.

and, uh, thanks, abba. now i'll forever have an image of you as a tattoed hardcore straightedge guy savaging people in the mosh pit.

i can't add much to what the others have said much better than i could. so i'll just send you your first "slightly awkward guy on guy this totally doesn't mean we're gay, right?" hug.

here's to your happiness, your comfort in your own skin and your bright, bright future.

I don't really know you too well, but all your posts on BWW have been very inspiring. I wish you the very best, and I know you're going to do amazing things with your new life.

Congratulations, Abba, and welcome Paxton! I'm sorry that you went through those dark, hard times, but so thrilled that you were able to find the support that enabled you to give a voice to what you were feeling and allowed you to reach the place you are today. I applaud your courage, and wish you strength, peace, joy, love and all great things as you continue this journey you've just begun. I hope that the pride you feel in yourself exponentially exceeds the obviously tremendous pride we feel. And imagine what a world it would be if all parents embraced their children the way yours have. To paraphrase the song in my screen name, it's your world and it's not a place you have to hide in (I was going to quote I bang my own drum, some think its noise, I think it's pretty, but then I thought better of it....)

i love that song ^_^
and i seriously wish everyone had parents who were as supportive as mine. even in my own family, my aunt practically disowned my cousin... she would have if he was a minor.

and i'm actually better at sensual harassment... i can make someone feel uncomfortable all.. day... long.

I can definitely vouch for that. But hey, I'm not mad at it.
