Thanks, boylove1217! When we don't have boys to love, we very often become damaged and less resilient. This is universally true, not just for boylovers. We see something similar today, with hetero-incels. This is one of the biggest obstacles we face, i.e. being emotionally damaged individuals and trying to recover from it without relationships. Sometimes, not even friendships. Interestingly, some of the incels flip-out and go on campus shooting rampages but we almost never do. There was an incident many years ago in Dundee, Scotland which was used against us, though. My generation, to the extent that I can generalize, may have had relationships but often got badly burned for having had them. That was damaging enough and difficult enough to recover from in contrast to those BLs coming of age today who have no hope of having a relationship without taking life-destructive risks. At least at one time, when I was a kid, myself, up until I was thirty-one, I could actually love boys, albeit with considerable danger and an increasingly enormous amount of stress. You could say that those memories have, to a significant extent, kept me going. It's way too much nostalgia than I would prefer but I have it to refer to when missing boys or engaging with those who think that we are damaging them. I know otherwise and that's a comfort. Yes, deprogramming is a process, although I'm probably not the best person to administer it. I know that Steven Hasan, a psychologist and renowned cult expert (and de-programmed "Moonie"), is non-judgemental and non-confrontational to a fault in approaching the brainwashed. That's undoubtedly the best approach and requires a lot of patience. I've always wanted to produce comic books that steps people through these issues. Someone might want to also take a comic book approach to the subject of kids' rights, for both kids and adults. Yes, fraught with peril if done clumsily! You'd have to be very cautious, pull your punches in dealing with particular subjects and let them make up their own minds rather than tell them what to think but I could see this having a real influence. |
