I can understand what a tough life you must have lived by the angst and anger in your reply. Were you unhappy as a child? Have you felt misunderstood, and had a hard time connecting with others and keeping friends?

I am truly saddened that you react so violently, and only attach yourself to emotional outrage without tempering yourself. I must take some responsibility for this though because I reacted hastily, and given your previous explosions, I should have used more care in my words.

Please take a moment, and don't read on until that hot flash you are experiencing subsides.

As I said in the last note, I only want to help and be helped. And, you obviously need some help from somewhere, so here's some tough love:

The lack of tact in your interaction with other people will not get you very far in life. Nobody likes being put down (as you well know yourself from years of experience). We should all work to build each other up.

You have seen the results of your actions in your career, your family life, and in your relationships. It appears in the form of confrontation, and unresolved issues. A broken family of broken promises and broken hearts. Hopes of a great life crushed because of heartless people stealing your light and your love. You could have been great but there was always someone there to screw it up.

WAAAAAAHH!

The truth about you is that you are demanding and overbearing. You are so bent at perfection that you cannot take criticism. You feel like you are the one who makes the wheels turn, and anyone that says different is your enemy.

Perhaps you have not been able to "connect the dots", and break this vicious cycle, but it would be wise to do so. As we age our ability and will to change diminishes. If you don't do something now I fear you will just become another bitter old woman waiting to die alone and feed the cats.

If you think I'm full of $h^t, fine. But, I will give you this example:
You have been on this message board for awhile. In that time you have had many confrontations with other individuals. Take a look back at your posts and the replies. These arguments weren't about the topic at hand, they were about respect, or the lack of it.

Give a little get a little. Even though you're giving me none, I'll still give you a bit.

Have a lovely day!
