[quote=Anonymous]I understand your frustration. It may be an unfair comparison, though. Have you ever had to care for an aging parent with mental illness? The process often starts with immense cruelty aimed at loved ones. Like cutting you to the core cruelty. Sharing family secrets. Telling family members that they're a disappointment. That they're bad parents. To then have to devote all your time and financial resources to that person's care is hard. It strains marriages. It depletes savings that would have otherwise been available to pay for college. It's just hard. Be thankful if you had caring parents for whom you were able to reciprocate love while they were here.[/quote]
