Haha. Me too.

Idk? I don't watch TV.

Yep.

Lol.

@VictoriaNotes This part of the state anyway and San Juan county is even more so than the rest of the state. That's why it's hard for me to understand others but I am really trying. I know it exists and also see it doesn't have to but am also a realist. Nothing will change for the better without a struggle.

@VictoriaNotes No, it is not out of mind. It gnaws on me constantly. I may not have experienced some things but I still see them and I will not turn a blind eye!!

@VictoriaNotes My second partner and I were having problems with my daughter. She climbed out of a window to run-away for the weekend to be with a toxic boyfriend. She was a pathological liar (this all came from living with a bi-polar mother and alcoholic step-father). So we attended a session of a tough love group. Afterward we saw that our problems were mild compared to what others had to endure (one common problem was single mothers who were being bullied by their teen aged sons). One mother turned her daughter in for drug abuse. She told the group she visited her daughter in jail and the daughter called her mother a mean, old, fat bitch). Everything is relative. At the time I didn't think so but now I see my problems were a drop in the bucket compared to others. Besides, I have always been empathetic and concerned + I came out far better for my experiences.
