LordBarbossa i see. I didnt mean to make light of your issue. I know we've all got our own crosses to bear. May i share my perspective with you? if it doesnt fit, forget it. But its my belief that its not good to let our tragedies define us. We're received better when were known for rising above and persevering in spite of tragedy. What ive noticed is that the difference is like taking your place at the top vs having to crawl up from the dungeon your tragedy keeps you in. You derseve to be at the top. You derseve to be loved and respected. Sympathy and pitty are ok, but they're not necessarily love and respect and if you get in a habit of accepting them or expecting them as such, you run the risk of only ever getting sympathy or pitty from someone you're trying to make a deeper connection with.
Like I said, if any of this stuff applies, I hope it helps. But if it doesn't, just drop it here and forget I said anything about it. I tried to explain the same thing to my son a couple months ago and I missed the mark, and almost lost him to his own hand when he had been confusing Sympathy For Love and his heart kept getting broken. I'm happy to say he's in a much better place now and a healthy relationship with a woman who loves him and respects him and I've never been the I Told You So type but I was so happy to tell him I told you so LOL
Damn, I wasn't planning I'm bleeding out like this, I just thought maybe ...
