[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 286919, member: 1514"] I have often wondered what the impact has been on my kids from growing up in the family that they did. I have been sick a pretty long time now. They grew up during their teen years having to take care of an elderly grandmother with alzheimers who had it pretty bad and declined rapidly. They washed her, fed her, did all those things teen boys shouldnt have to do to 70 year old female grandmothers. They have also dealt with mental illnesses with various members. And trashy houses. We have always been pretty poor. I think my kids have grown up to look past all that. When I was so sick they didnt blink when they had to clean me up. Jamie goes on calls with his job and I am pretty darn certain he sees everything Annaheim Fan sees and then some with abused animals. Im sure there are trashy house, feces on floors, drunks, junkies, dead and dying animals and everything else. Im sure it upsets him to see it for the people who have to live that way but I dont think he feels badly toward them. You can feel empathy for someones conditions without thinking they are bad people just because of their circumstances. [/QUOTE]
