That's because most here have had nothing but bad experiences. There are others....in fact, I will dare say there are whole communities out there of people in GSA relationships who are happy and healthy and living life to the fullest with the one they love most because they have made choices that have put them in a position to live that kind of life. The sad storiesare about those who for one reason or another couldn't take every action necessary to eliminate the negative aspects of their social faux paux. Those who post here do so because this site offeres them a community of folks who understand their pain. I wish this was instead a community of folks offering stories of great joy and happiness, but such people don't like to hang where nay-sayers live. I stay here because I have experience, advice and mostly hope to offer those, who like me, suffer from the fact that they find themselves in love with long lost family members. GSA is a good thing. And it can be lived if you make the right sacrifices. Make none and your lives will become the hell we read about so often on these forums.
