[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DH told his ex-wife that a cat was a better mother and beyond an egg and a uterus, her contribution to their children was unremarkable.  He also told her that she should be thanking me for being willing to step up and become the mother the kids had always deserved.

PP, my parents tried to kill me - literally, and brutally - and there's no question in my mind they would have blamed me for my demise if they had succeeded. They blame me for everything anyway. I still wouldn't even think such horrible words about them that your husband used to address the mother of his children, let alone say them. They did give birth to me, and something deep inside them prevented them from actually committing lethal acts. I have no problem conceding they're horrible people, even evil - but I'm not going to lower myself by describing them in such degrading terms as your husband used to describe the mother of his children. Vicious words like that - that's about the person who speaks them, not the person they're describing.[/quote]

Wait, so despite your parents' attempt to brutally murder you, you wouldn't "degrade" them by saying they were "unremarkable" parents, that they should thank some other people who were willing to be real parents to you, and that a cat is a better parent? All three things are obviously true. The "something deep inside" that kept them from killing you truly is unremarkable, since the instinct not to kill one's own children is something all non sociopaths have and take for granted. If you did get some better parents, and I hope you did, your bio parents really should have thanked them. And cats don't intentionally try to kill their kittens. You can get all high handed about "lowering" yourself, but sometimes it's okay to call it as you see it. You don't even know what the abuse was.

I think you still have issues. There's really no need to defend your would-be child-killing parents.

Also, I remember you from another thread, can you remind us of how your parents tried to kill you?[/quote]
