    Amen to that sister. Feels like a friggen contest about who has the shittiest life. I always get the urge to do what my dad did when I was little ... fumble with the belt buckle and say "SHUT UP OR I'LL GIVE YOU SOMETHING TO CRY ABOUT"

    I think they do too, but I refuse to play their draining game.

    Being a victim is a good indicator something is unhealthy not necessarily the victim. However some cling to it relentlessly but peoples gifts are wasted in a society that has yet to reform and or come to terms with certain values. Theres more but ill leave it at this.

    Because it can be more powerful than assuming responsibility for one's actions in a very passive aggressive way.

    On the other hand, I know people who definitely do not choose to be victims. Sometimes life dumps on a person in a way that has nothing to do with the choices that individual has made. Also, I'm not sure I'm the best judge of how much of another person's past history is crap and irrelevant.

    You know what sometimes it can be one blow too many for a person. Easy to judge from the outside but obviously that person is in pain and afraid to move forward. So yeah, not easy people to be around, but until they are ready to address the pain, own their part in what has happened to them, they ain't gonna change.
