 Quote From: nixi333 First I think it's great that you have taken the high road! I applaud any one who fights to over come the crap hand they are dealt instead of laying down and giving up or choosing to live a life that makes the problems worse. (even if you don't like me ;-) ) Believe me I am not one of the lucky few that had a charmed life....But no matter what you say, you will never get me to believe that people are not better than this. Every one has choices and unless you are still a child or mentally ill in some way, you can choose not to live up to your parents legacy. You know we all have choices, you said it in your post; you chose not to take the easy way - you "busted your rear". Just for the record I don't believe you could have been just like these women you've already proved it. Don't worry about how close you came ...be proud of what you accomplished. I'm sorry but most of the problems the people in this country face is because we have become to complacent; to "PC". Someone whines about how bad they had it and we go ... awwww the poor thing it's not their fault and let them get away with what ever awful crap they want. It needs to stop. People need to stand up and act like adults, start taking responsibility, if you have bad parents stand up and say-- you no longer define who I am and you no longer control how I see myself- I am worth more than what you did to me and I deserve better than what you can give me. If you had bad things happen to you, stand up brush yourself off take back what ever was taken from you and live a good life (Living well really is the best revenge) You don't lay down and play the victim whining about it for the rest of your life and you most certainly don't pop pills and abuse your own kids. (all that does is allows the "bad guy" to win.) That's what makes me mad about the whole issue.... people complain about what went wrong in their lives or about some awful thing that happened to them but instead of learning from it they turn around and become the very thing they hate or do to their kids what was done to them. It makes no sense and it ticks me off. So, sorry my post bothered you but I stand by what I said. People are better than this and if I'm wrong and we're really not capable of morality, honor, strength, intelligence, honesty, doing the right thing even if it's the hard thing, then what's the point? If it's not true then why should Dr. Phil keep trying to help? Why Should I and people like me who still have faith in humanity continue to care??? And if we do quit caring and just roll over and play dead; what kind of world do you think that will be?? Nixi
Until we have all left this world we r at risk! I have "busted my rear" but each day has been a struggle. Sometimes just the loving hand of a starnger gives you strength. Saying hey I know ur worth it so fight dang it! With out those hands I would not have had the belief that I was worth anything! I guess ur right we can not save the world. But we need to reach out and save who we can without judgement. Just a few kind words can really go a long way! I can sit here and wonder why Dr phil keeps helping when some dont appreciate it! When everyday I can use that kind of help bc my journey has not ended. I have not defeated the demons that dance in my life. Statistically I am going to be a drug addict, my daughter a tramp, my son's a thief & drug addict, etc. But just bc I have had the heroism in my life to help me realize I am not a statistic. I will not be a number!! Where do you think that came from...it wasnt from my mother, my father,my family or myself! It was a few good people who said I dont see three kids and a crazy trampy woman. I see a woman who can do it & that is why i finally felt like somebody bc I saw something besides disgust in someones eyes. I saw someone see me as a real person who could make a difference. That one step gave me a better life, taught me to love myself more and in return I became a better person and a better mother. I was already began busting my rear, but the hope that these few non judgemental people gave to me was refueling. I could do it bc someone I didnt even grow up with believed in me. Its something that can not be explained in words. Its a feeling in your heart that can never be described..I could then view myself differently. I am rambling but I hope you understand what I am saying. U have a good point! The world is too big to save, but if we just saved one at a time....what a better place to live and how wonderful we could all feel giving alittle love to someone in need! Its cause and effect. Everyones worried about the children, teach the mothers to love themseleves and it will all fall into place! |
