[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok.

I get it. I am a horrible person, who lacks empathy, grace, and perspective.

I vented. Which happens a lot on these boards. But I also happen to have a step associated with my position - so, no matter what I do, or how I act - short of saintly - it will never, ever be good enough.

You're all right. There is no need for me to try, no need for me to care any more. They have their real mom, and I'm sure she has all the answers - and I'm sure they'll grow up just fine under her stellar tutelage. Maybe someday she'll share with them why she broke up their family.

Thank you for making me see what is real and true.

Well if there was any doubt about your true character or intention before, there's none now.

You can't even sit with that thought, that this is a hard time of year for them. You can take them out for all the movies and buy them all the presents, but this is still a difficult, overwhelming, complex time of year for them. The fact that you can't take one moment to acknowledge that, and allow that reality to make room for some grace and perspective in your heart tells us everything we need to know about you.

Yep. You are 100%, unquestionably, unequivocally right.

Feel good?[/quote]
