[QUOTE="LauraH, post: 737625, member: 22877"] I don't feel sorry for him. I feel sorrow for him because he can do so much more than he is. I'd be happy if he worked at Walmart and lived in a studio apartment. I realize that to an extent things are beyond his control but he won't acknowledge that he's relinquished what control he has and blames everything/everyone from his disorder to his addiction to other people for the sorry state his life is in. You see people everywhere who against all odds managed to rise above their physical or emotional limitations to have a successful and fulfilled life. I saw a guy at Walmart years ago who had only stubs protruding from his shoulders where arms should be. He had a clipboard under one stub and a walkie talkie under the other and was in a supervisory position. He could have blamed genetics or fate (if he lost his arms in an accident) and sat around feeling sorry for himself and self-destructing, but he did what he had to do to succeed. I need to google and research people that have found the same success coping with bipolar and/or drug addiction. I know they're out there. [/QUOTE]
