[QUOTE="witzend, post: 90868, member: 99"] I want you to understand that I am not saying this to hurt your feelings. I'm saying it because many people have been tiptoeing around it since you first began posting. Some have clod-hoppered around it, but everything said to you has come with a long explanation, and I think that the explanations aren't helping you because you don't seem to see the basic point. So, I'm just going to say it. You whine. A lot. It's not healthy, and it's gotten old. Everyone has troubles, and if we all whined about them all the time no one would ever get anything done. When are you going to find something about [i]your life[/i] that you enjoy? It's there if you look for it, but you are busy looking for pain. When are you going to consider someone else's trouble and offer someone here some advice? We're all here because our kids make us feel like doggy doo. You're not alone, but we're not here to prop you up. I suggest you break out that old Carole King "Tapestry" album and play it over and over and over. <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body"> You've got to get up every morning with a smile on your face And show the world all the love in your heart Then people gonna treat you better You're gonna find, yes, you will That you're beautiful as you feel</div></div> Sometimes we don't see that we manufacture our own trouble. When I was much younger, someone told me "Did you realize that you [i]never[/i] say 'please' when you ask for something, and you never say 'thank you' to anyone? No one owes you anything, so you should be polite." It was harsh, but it really opened my eyes. I hope that this will be a wake up call for you. If it's always going to be all about your trouble du jour, you won't have many friends. [/QUOTE]
