[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you love your house more than you love people, why would you be lonely at your house? [/quote] Don't be a jerk. It's far more complicated than that. And you know it. Its about memories and where you're comfortable. And it's traumatic for some people to give that up (a friend's relative is dealing with this right now). And it's kids not wanting to care for their parents (see the posts even on here). It's about spouses dying. Friends dying. Relatives Dying. Maybe you've outlived them all but your kids, but they don't want to deal with you? They view you as a child or an inconvenience. I"m not suggesting none of those feelings are invalid. It's hard. But they are your parents. They raised you. But, I guess I don't understand how people can view their parents in that manner. It's sad and it is a uniquely American thing (I have relatives in other countries, as do friends). [/quote]
