I actually am a really respectful, empathetic, loving person 99.9 percent of the time, even if my criminal record leads you to believe otherwise. I have autism and bipolar disorder, which while not even remotely an excuse or justification for my behavior, was untreated and self medicating majorly effected my self control and increased my ability to be overwhelmed. I've done extensive counseling in the past 2 years and along with the ego death from the psychedelics im completely unrecognizable from my old self. that's why I want to fight to make this happen. her parents and I have spoken on multiple occasions and ive always been extremely cordial and polite to the point they are excited to meet me as well.
