[QUOTE="Albatross, post: 650303, member: 17720"] I believe this is true too, MWM. It is as if the empathy part of their brain never got connected properly. And I agree, it is their biggest downfall. And it is just a very sad thing... I think it must be such a lonely time of it, to feel nothing except the thrill of the game, to never be able to see others except in terms of what they can do for you. And the only way we can survive it is to grow a protective outer shell, to protect the raw spots, the parts of us that feel, the parts that they sometimes don't even seem to have. It's all just very sad. SS, I had to work today, but tonight I am appreciating my friends in this forum and having a couple of cold brewskis that are really hitting the spot...so I am definitely counting that as something fun. Yes, I know you are right, Jabber. And I think a lot of the time even if I WERE him I wouldn't understand his decisions. I have listened to him try to explain his logic sometimes, and it is more tortured than Tiny Tim at a Pavarotti concert. Cedar, this is very comforting. I never thought of that before. I have thought many times of how it would have been if I'd known how very, very long this would all drag out when the trouble first started. But I never thought of what a blessing it is, to have had those happy experiences untarnished by what was down the road, and to know that we have cherished him, cherished our family. Thank you for sharing your most treasured quotes with me. I love reading your words and the words of others who mean a lot to you. HA! Thank you so much, ladies and gent. [/QUOTE]
