First off, let me thank you for attending this meeting. It took a lot of courage to take a chance like that. With my life the way it has been for the past 11 years, I wouldn't have the guts to do it.

But, you know me...Ever the pessimist.

I wonder if some of the MHP's didn't just tell people what they wanted to hear, and then left saying to each other "Riiiiight....Like we'll EVER work to make things better for them."

I admit, I'm very jaded after dealing with MHP's for close to three years that did nothing but shove down my throat how evil we are. How we don't love children. How we feel incompetent in a "normal" relationship, so we become attracted to children.

I hope I'm wrong. I hope that someday, somehow, a few of these people will actually step up and buck the system, and others will actually listen to them.

Thanks again for attending. I hope it continues and can expand to include many more MAA's and MHP's.
