    I love Demi and appreciate both her honesty and her voice.

    I truly wish Demi the best in this. I will admit that I had not the best opinion of Demi when Archie was touring with her; some of the things we heard about that summer and a few shows were postponed/cancelled due to “scheduling conflicts” for Demi. As a fan of David’s it was frustrating and there were rumors of why but nothing concrete. 

    Looking back on it now, I feel bad that I wasn’t more concerned with the fact there might have been something really wrong than I was with the fact it was inconvenient. Sometimes we can forget that celebs deal with the insecurities and problems just like anyone else, only magnified for the world to see. I’m not trying to give Demi an “out” here, just saying I’m seeing things differently looking back with what we know now. Money & fame don’t solve all problems.

    I’m glad that she has shown the courage to admit the issues and face them head-on. I admire the fact that she’s trying to help others who may be facing the same thing. I really hope she’s able to keep it up. I know I’ll be rooting for her.
