Okay SQ. Since you are so interested it seems in continuing the process of making your point, I think it only fair you recieve a response. I will let some other of our TBD's add their two cents too. I have again added your "Quote", and let everyone make their own comments. First let me say that your comments above really do come off as flipant, selfish and mean to myself in particular. I am also going to admit that my comments to you are certainly written in the same manner, and yes, I can be a cruel, and indifferent individual and have been to you. I am sorry for that, but life can make us that way at times. I was born a fighter I guess and I am still giving it a blow. Staying tough in a tough world is key to survival for me. Realize please that I am not saying this describes you, I am saying this of "your comments" that were interpreted this way. That is the impression I get. My whole purpose here was to get some support in a difficult time. Not be shot down. I am much better now by the way. This too shall pass as we say. Life is always a blessing. I have read your plight with your parents also and think you must be a very good daughter. I have been through it myself and you are to be commended for doing everything you can for your parents. I know things are difficult, but it will get better. There is always change. It helps if you also take time to take care of your needs in small ways too. Get a manicure, walk in a garden, a hot bubble bath with candles. These kind of things helped me through my caregiving time with my father. I hope this helps. Any other comments here will be read by myself and appreciated. Our time is precious and I know these are busy times so any comments here are time you have taken out of your busy lives to make time for others. I for one value your time. Best regards to all here. How do you read SQ's comments?

Diana,

We all have tough times, if you read more than one of my comments and you will see not all of them are flippant, but I was joking in part about the more men for me etc... But I do think as adults we look at dating all wrong we go out and think are they the one... we put too much internal pressure to find out in an hour or two if they could be a life mate.... really just go and have some fun enjoy a person company. They may be worth another date or another twelve dates but they may not be and nothing is lost and nothing is gained... other than a few hours figuring out whose company you do and do not enjoy. Giving up is giving in to me, and I was raised differently than that.... I take breaks from dating as soon as I get tired of telling the same ole story and hearing the same ole story I take a break but I don't give up!

And thank you for your advice, I live an amazing life regardless of the trials I have I love my life... I treat myself well (trust me very well better than most people treat themselves), I treat my family and friends well and I am the best person I can be for them and for me. My dad is an amazing man whom I love and adore and who has given me a lot of my outlook on life and being with him in any time makes me happy. Some things I have learned money doesn't make you happy but it lets you do some cool things, you can always make more money but there may not be more time and there is nothing better than spending time with friends and family and people you love.

Do your fighter self a favor and seek anger management counseling <---my two cents

Tisk, tisk, tisk. Already doing it. Spare me your ire Mr. Man.

I neither ire nor pity you ...but you do seem to have issues that are dragging you under
