So its morning and I'm going to give a proper reply....

And what a reply it was!

I can't imagine really deeply but only on shallow "intelligence level" how hard times you have gone through. I know something about Finnish discriminatory mindset because I'm born and grown up there. The difference between accepting and tolerating (because latter is "politically correct") is significant.

On top of all the other difficulties losing friends feels for sure very bad  - I would say it tells something very sad about those who just "disappeared" or became cold and distant. However, my words don't help your situation. I only want to say, I respect and admire you and your courage of going your way as you felt was right.

I am sure that here you have a lot of friends who understand you and who you can count on, and I am more than willing to be one of them whom you can any time talk to if you want, through the open forum or by private messages.

With love and a LOT of respect (If I could send you now a real physical hug, I would do it, and hold you tightly, sister!)
