(3,732 posts)I'm not sure what will happen with it. Actually I'm kind of nervous about it, because I don't want it to gain any sort of publicity that focuses on me and ruins whatever chance I may have to get out of my personal situation. If this gains "journalist" traction, then I would be used for the agendas of others, and there would be a lot more hurting me than helping me. Sorry if that sounds selfish, but my life sucks already, and all I want is to recover my health and be working in a low key steady job like a normal person.
On the other hand I do want to raise awareness of this SITUATION and get this fixed at the POLICY level. And if there is any way I can possibly help do that as a knowledgeable informant, I'd like to. I'm willing to put a lot of work and energy into that outcome. I just don't want my image raised on anyone's flag (or burnt as anyone's effigy).
