It took what was left of my courage not to
commit suicide. It is hard enough to be
hated by one person but being loathed by
society is almost untenable
I felt as if the world had broken its
promise, revealing that doing the
right thing could cause
devastation, chaos and cruelty. In
the words of Judith Herman, I felt
‘utterly abandoned, utterly alone,
cast out of the human and divine
systems of care and protection that
sustain life.’
