[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 679593, member: 19522"] Me too Tanya, thank you for sharing. Actually, I can cry at the weirdest things. LOL. I can too, depending on the situation, I surprise myself at times..... Hubs has passenger road rage, always mumbling about what idiots drivers are, he gets so mad, it is as if they are personally insulting him with their poor driving habits. One of his pet peeves. I just try to block it out. No sense raising my blood pressure over that stuff. Pigless, that must have been terrifying! OUCH! You had to grow a tough skin to survive that.... I am learning this. I have been in some puzzling situations volunteering, and have chosen passion over sanity, stayed too long on boards for the "cause" when clearly, the leadership had turned sour and toxic. Hubs grew up in a violent home. His dad was very abusive. This caused us problems in our marriage, but I stuck it out through some very rough spots. I found myself understanding why he was the way he was, more than looking after myself. Things changed as we grew older. He is still a rugged guy, but can also be very tender hearted. I have had to toughen up. I think in the long run, it has helped me be a little more assertive. Sensitivity helps me in the health room, too. I am not a sap, don't roll over for kids who are frequent flyers. But I do see that some of these kids just need a little TLC. when coming in. Times are hard for a lot of our kids. Parents busy working. Some are in school from 6:00 am (morning care in the cafe) to 5:30 pm (after school care). I see kids going through a lot with divorce, one week with one parent, another with the other. That is hard on their minds and bodies. I am glad the kids have you Pigless, one adult who understands and shows kindness can make a big difference. Thanks for sharing. It's nice to know there are more of us out there and how others work with this trait. (((HUGS))) leafy [/QUOTE]
