Wow. Thank you all for your time and words. I've had a great amount of responses both here and on Medium and I've had a huge amount of people emailing me directly - presumably because of the sensitive nature of the subject.

For these reason, instead of replying to every comment right now I will write a follow up post which discussions much of the feedback, suggestions, alternatives and offers of help. I hope that you will read it.

I will however then come back and reply to specifics here and respond to every email.

Thanks a lot for your support and stay strong if you're in a low position. Try to find solace in the fact that you aren't alone.
