Sorry - just not feeling very politically correct or able to ignore the BS that is here and in RL for me right now.
So here's what I wonder. We all have problems and issues right? We wouldn't be here if we didn't. I would NEVER be so presumptuous as to think or indicate that my life or my problems have been any worse than anyone else's. Yeah ok, I've had my share of crap, but so has everyone else. My struggles may seem huge to me, but everyone's struggles are huge to them at times. So before you tell me how horrible your life has been and definitely before you use it as some sort of "pass" to be an ass, just think about the fact that we are all struggling with something. And yeah, some things are hard to put in the past, but if you always hold on to every grudge and every thing anyone ever did to upset you, you will have no room for any joy in your life.

hear me?? it's NO reason!!
My life has been seriously IDYLLIC compared to others I've seen on here. If anything, it has made me grateful for the parents and peace and I've enjoyed.
I would never dream of trying to justify my piss poor behavior (occasionally)--on my life or anything that I have endured. It just wont fly.
I don't know, beastie, you rock and I agree. Batdog, I'm a little slow but I've read everything and I am not so confused anymore. Is a little sad isn't it?
BUT there are those that just have to have the attention that comes along with being the victim no matter how unjustified it is.
There are some days I would rather be drug butt nekkid over broken glass with my hair afire {thank you Rima} before I read one more post on how someone elses life is worse than mine and that is how they justify behaving badly toward someone else.
Like some here I know I have it better than most and yes, I am thankful everyday for what I do have BUT that doesn't make my struggling any less than anyone elses and when some folks get that through their thick head a lot of the drama here will stop.
IMHO, only someone who is unable ot have any true empathy, or is very egocentric would insinuate that thier life, or thier pain is worse that others. however, there are times that I do think what do they know? ..that doesn't mean tho that they mean nothing, just something different.
also it shows very judgemental and unforgiving traits in a person if they portray they life is worse than others...
