I can readily confirm this without any doubts; I dunno, Nightmare_Eclipse has been through quite a lot of psycho-emotional upheaval and tribulation in such a little time, and when he talks about it to other people (other than me and/or my beloved boyfriend RetroTheFloof), his heart-shattering stories of hellish personal trauma either scare them to the point of inflicting trauma in its own right or go largely (or increasingly more often, completely) unnnoticed out of sheer ignorance and complete lack of empathy - it hurts and pains me terribly that he goes through so much psycho-emotional hellfire without even as little as a 6-oz. bottle of water to keep himself hydrated amidst the flames, let alone anyone to help him out of said agonizing fire or even help him manage the spread of the blaze. I can empathize and spiritually relate quite an incredible amount with Nightmare_Eclipse because I've personally been through much of the same trauma as he has, though not all of it. The great difference between us two in this is that I had quite a lot of kind and compassionate support to help me get out of this hell, while Nightmare_Eclipse never had anyone as true family nor friend to hold his shaking hand in all this mayhem, let alone contemplate doing so willingly. I just pray and hope that my friendship with Nightmare_Eclipse will help manage and/or heal the momentous pain that he has and still goes through on a daily basis; it hurts me gravely that someone that I care about goes through anywhere nearly as much hell-on-earth as I once did, although Nightmare_Eclipse has probably already taken the cake here and booked it for the hills five times over. I just hope that I can do some much-needed residual good for Eclipse as a friend - he's very much a good and wonderful kid, mind you, however troubled and scarred with trauma he may be.
