The Reason:

Lifesupporters.com officially went online on July 3, 2004 and became viewable around the world wide web on July 4, 2004.

The original concept was simple, discuss sensitive issues in an open, honest, caring and supportive environment and possibly share some insight into said issues. I've never been comfortable with the medical usage of the term Life Support as it's limited to maintaining a patients life through artificial means; what about all the times during ones life when you needed emotional support? This one burning question and a quest to perhaps share the terminology became my one and only goal.

Since communication breakdown is something we all live with and have personally experienced at least once in our lives, I reasoned that we could provide a place for open and honest communication where all constraints are removed and you're free to deal with your inner demons. The anonymity the internet provides means that the only person your really lying to in this type of forum environment is yourself so if you want to heal, you will but if you don't you really have no one left to blame but yourself.
