Someone being broken or not is not the issue. It's what they choose to do. I am broken, yet Because of that o have had the opportunity to help others who were also broken.
I took the time to learn what was wrong with my and why. And I learned about others and their reasons. And because I understood I was able to help. While still not being "normal".
And it is other damaged people who have helped me. Rarely do "normal" people ever help because they are clueless to the struggles and often speak from a place of ignorance and with a lack of compassion.
Most counselors are people who were, and often are still, broken. They've simply managed to move to a healthier state of their brokeness.
This idea that "normal" people will raise up "broken" people is often false. Because such people rarely want to be with anyone broken because they tend to have a negative view of such people. And due to their inability to understand or relate they typically do a poor job in handling broken people in a healthy and fruitful manner.
Funny how in one post you're putting down "damaged goods", and even stating that "normal" people wouldn't want them. Then suddenly you change gears and now claim to be broken yourself and how broken people should seek out normal people.
Seems a rather extreme change. Motives questionable at best.

I was trying to say that we need a partner who is able to be a mutual support because some people who need healing may treat their spouse like someone who is there to meet their needs. I realise I said it clumsily and I did apologise
I'm not lying about my issues I am seriously disabled and have been What your girlfriend has been through on top of that. Abuse of all kinds , addiction , mental ill ness. These things have a huge stigma so I'm hardly going to claim I have these when I don't ?
These are the issues no one wants to admit to having
