A few bloody noses I can understand. Been there done that. It's a little more than that that I'm worried about, plus ... it doesn't matter. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. If it kills you, it's someone else's worry.

Like sexobon said: life is hard, then you die.

Anyone with a shred empathy ticks off the possible pitfalls, in their mind, when a friend/loved one appears to be fucking up. Hell, we do it watching people on the news or the silver screen.

Mostly there's not much we can do except bite our nails and watch it play out... unless we(or an employee), are willing to capture the(red) flag.

Red flags can be hard to capture ... but trust me. If it's possible, I will. I have skills of my own.

Ortho, would you like us (the cellar) to have a word with her?

I wish ... unfortunately, I think this is something she has to figure out on her own.

This was my mass family emailing sent by my niece today... she is about the same age as your daughter..


Quote:
I'm tired of hiding who I really am. I have a huge heart for people, whether they deserve it or not. I'd give the shirt off my back to help someone in need. I'd help a stranger. I'd even help someone who's done me wrong. That's just who I am. People just need to take me as I am or not. It ultimately is MY life. I will live it how I want...

I would have to be a moron not to know she is talking about her soon to be ex hub. Pretty sure this was directed to her parents but she likes to include us all.

I pray she is not going back to this [ex?]meth head adulterer.

I told her helping someone, even someone who did you wrong is ok but being a doormat is not. I hope you can tell the difference. You are worth more than a place that someone wipes their feet.

Meth head adulterer is a nice resume'. Good advice, hope she can hear it.

Orthodocette ... you want a 20% increase on earnings, lifelong, or not?

Niecevana ... enabling exploiters does not help them. Not really.


I blame Twilight for romanticising abusive relationships to vulnerable teenage girls.

I think I need a new definition of human being. There are a lot of creatures in this world that I'd rank higher.
