Fallen,
I have also noticed a change in your attitude in the last few days. I understand your frustrations and we can discuss that but I have a more serious issue I'd like to address if you don't mind?
I know you mentioned that you are bi-polar and have been for some time. Overall, it appears that you've handled your illness in a responsible manner. However, what is going on now? Are you taking your meds? Need a checkup to adjust your meds? I've worked with many bi-polar folks. I noticed they get pissed at the dumbest thing and fly off the handle then they steadily spiral downward into a depression. I hope this isn't happening to you. Of course it's hard to judge someone by posting on a forum but I felt as if it would be irresponsible on my part if I didn't at least mention this.
Fallen, you are an intelligent person with a kind heart. There's no question in my mind with a more positive attitude you can accomplish your goals. I know you're feeling down on yourself lately, but don't give up. You may think there's a lot of people with hate and maybe you're right. I don't share that view. Maybe because I don't associate with hateful people.
I also want to tell you that I understand your anger towards me lately. I realize it's not quite that personal and you're just venting and that's a good thing. You also view me as taking the victim's side which in your mind means I am against SO's. That is completely untrue. I support the laws because I feel they are right and it's part of my profession. I spend my days working with SO's teaching them the rules of probation and how to manage their lives within the rules. I go out of my way to warn them of questionable behavior which may lead to a VOP because I care. I can easily spend less time guiding them and more time just locking them up. But that isn't my nature. You see Fallen, what you may viewed as hate is really the opposite. It's all a matter of perspective.
