I need to clear the air

I unfortunately have a history of being neglected and abused. I spent many years thinking it was me until therapy had started to change that.
The Elite announcement about consoles dragged up all of those feelings and emotions about being thrown aside all over again.
I hate it.
And I admit, I'm not processing this well.
To some it is "just a game" and yes, it is but it was also more than that. I am a space head, I love looking and reading about our galaxy and this game put all of that in my hands.
So yeah.
I'm sorry if I offended anyone but this has been a really crappy piece of news.

Typically, my first response to most of these post-announcement remarks is to start trolling the person who posts it. However, I have some close family who also suffered abuse and it's taken years to see progress in correcting those thinking errors that are so ingrained into their thought processes. And, it's sometimes surprising to see what "trivial" events can dredge up those feelings.

I'm sorry to hear this has triggered those old feelings. Just keep stopping that tape in your head that loops those negative thoughts and causes the downward spiral.

I wish you the best.

Let's face it, the relationship between FD and Elite players is dysfunctional. If I were in a real world relationship with someone who acts like FD, I'd leave. But "it's just a game" so I put up with it and try to ignore all the stuff that makes no sense.

You haven't offended anyone and actually your post comes across as genuine and heartfelt. I like you already.

Sorry mate, suffer from depression so I know how bad news can effect you. I'm just surprised that DB couldn't of at least done a video to get his message across, rather than a text, that's just cold.
