He tells me: *" ***** yourself with a needle,    it will have the same effect"* As if I am trying to harm myself. He does not understand this does not hurt me, at least not physically. It has become a joke now   - but I'm not laughing. It isnt funny, it isnt a joke. His ignorance sears into me, he thinks I have forgotten I have not.
