I don't think anyone thought you were decieiving any Steph, just that it was something you couldn't admit to yourself and worked through. And I'm glad you did!
Also thanks everyone for the nice comments about me and SLNRLBF -- we are happy this is the most content i've been with anyone. He's a very ... grounding presence for me I guess is the best way to say it. Plus I slept so well when he was here, I was just so much calmer , my thoughts were calmer, it's hard to describe but it's a great feeling.
I shared all your nice words to him.
In reference to Teppy's comments he said he's Certified Smitten.
My Mom is drafting a letter that we have all agreed to put our names to expressing our concern for my sister, our need to never see her boyfriend again, and our wish to not see her for the forseeable future.

This sounds horrible.

I'm so sorry you are all having to go through this.
I think she has a problem as real as drug or alcohol addiction. This is our intervention. Thanks for the hugs.
Hang in there, Laga-- sounds nightmarish, but at least you're facing this as a family.
I'm so sorry that you and your family are going through this, Laga.
Oh honey. I'm so sorry you and your family are going through this.
(((Laga)) I'm so sorry you and your family are having to deal with this.
Ugh, Laga, that's so hard. I hope it helps, even if it takes a while (which I gather can be the case with intervention/addiction-type situations). And I mean "helps" for both your sister and your entire family, because this is hard for all of you.
I just shocked myself while removing a plug from a surge protector.
Ironically, after I posted this morning, we went back for the final classes/presentations of the kink convention, and one of the presentations was on electric play. (It did NOT, however, involve surge protectors.)
Also, vw -- I didn't mean to post melodramatically about wanting to stab my hand with a pen and then leave for hours. But I'm about to check my e-mail, so thank you in advance.
ION, we just bought a KitchenAid mixer. We've had a $100 Best Buy gift card since Xmas 2007, and we also actually had a $100 bill that was also left over from Xmas (I have NO idea how we had the discipline to not spend it), and there was a Best Buy literally 2 minutes from where the kink convention was, so we decided it was time to get a KitchenAid mixer. (We had kept on talking about it, but then never following through, but I've been doing a lot of baking this fall, and I realized how much easier it would be with a mixer. So opportunity presented itself and we jumped on it. Not literally. That would break the mixer.)
