Emotional

[janeeyre]

I hope I don't sound too ridiculous but I just can't stand it one more minute! I am sitting here sobbing my eyes out.

I just read spacegirl's thread about being attacked, and that is so, so awful! I had no idea how violent it was! How could somebody do that to her? She is the sweetest, kindest person and for her to have been jumped like that is absolutely horrific. OH, molly, that whole thing was SO NOT your fault at all. Even Bruce Lee would've been knocked unconscious in a surprise attack like that.

I swear I would like to personally beat the cr** out of that awful kid. That isn't very nice of me to say, but there it is.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE??!!! Nearly every day I'll open up the newspaper and read about some sickening abuse perpetrated upon a child or animal, not to mention all the "garden variety" violence that goes on everywhere, seemingly all the time. WHY do people have to be so hateful??

On the other hand, thank God, there are so many absolute GEMS here at SR, as evidenced by everyone's responses to molly. I am amazed at such a collection of caring, good, wise people all in one place.

Jane...I share yopur sentiments exactly....I would have stayed on the phone all night to that poor girl (mollie) if she had asked me to...I just so wanted to give her a huge squeeze!!!!

I know I know the cruelty in the world is so sick....that is why I find that it is hard to cope without having my warped mind and sick sense of humour....you talk to any fireman or similar...many have to joke about some of the horrors they see just in order to cope.....Coppers and doctors and people like that are high at risk of alcoholism too.....

Mollie is just so lovely...like a warm duvet....soft and snuggly and deserves better than this...I cried too...I cannot bear the thoughts of any of my freinds hurting....I cannot bear the thoughts of anyone hurting...it seems so unjust it kills me to see such manic cruelty in the wolrd.......sigh......


We love you Mollie we do and we want you to heal quickly....laughter is the BEST medicine......we are with you hunny!!!

Oh I know.............the news is sooo full of horrible horrible stuff..............I am not easily shocked......but the news can set me off for sure...........human slave trafficking is one that just takes my BP thru the roof...it is insane how humans treat each other.............I used to be a news junkie...oh my....all day had to have the news on....I just can't watch it so much anymore..I am like you I get very emotional and want to DO something to fix it.....and I start neglecting myself and my home....I would do anything to save the world from itself..anything.........but alas...I cannot save it...I can only save myself and spread as much joy and cheer as I can...........It's hard to be FOR something rather than AGAINST it......but I have found so much authentic power in being FOR.rather than against.and I am 'against' a whole lot........but I work hard to focus on what good I can do and pray to God to help those who suffer such horrendous abuse...........and unfair circumstance.

(((((((((((((((((((Big hugs to you))))))))))))))))The world is a scary crazy place..................but there IS goodness, there is mercy.there IS hope I believe.....like you said look at all the wonderful souls here at SR!! This site and the dear people here helped me save my life.....I used to hate the world.all I ever saw was the evil, the horrors........there is so much more. I used to feel guilty if I was happy/doing good when so many weren't and couldn't.........I learned that me doing bad would NOT help 'them'.so I work really hard on being happy and cheerful.............I refuse to let the crappy people in the world get me so far down ever again.....((((more hugs coming your way!))))))

Mollie is a very dear girl..............very sweet. It was certainly unfair and totally uncalled for what happened. I hope she still doesn't think its her fault! (It's NOT you know, MolliE!)

I don't understand the cruelty of this world either.....but I believe we can make it better.....one person at a time.

Forgiveness is soo hard in these situations.so hard. I remember my dear grandfather.a nursing home killed him..I say murdered but the cops didn't care....he had 5 fractures on his left side, was totally bruised on his one side..........died within 2 weeks of being attacked,.....dammit I am crying now........he was the most gentle sweet soul you ever met.....I was with him the day he died.........I said to him grandpa I am soo sorry, this never should have happened!!!.........he looked at me and said Tammie...YOU didn't do it! You are beautiful...........I love you.......he died that afternoon..........I hated those bas%^^ds for so long..................but I had to forgive...I was being ate up with hate and anger and the injustice of it. I have pictures I took of his injuries that would make you vomit.........but I had to forgive,now that doesn't mean I didn't demand justice! Unfortunately my mother took over the case and let them settle for half a million dollars...............no jail for anyn of them..........just a 'fine'....................I had had my grandpa at my home taking care of him............he loved it...I loved having him.my husband even helped with him...but my mother wasn't getting the attentiona nd was jealous...she hauled him into a nuesing home.......it has taken awhile to forgive her........

I am not here saying oh you better forgive himMollie...no no no......I am just sharing what rage and anger and hurt can do if we don't ever let go...and let God.

(((Hugs all.............)))) I gotta go have a good cry over my grandpa.......In miss him sooooooooo much.

[janeeyre]

Oh, Tammie!

I am sorry that happened to your grandpa. You just go have a nice, cleansing cry now. It's just one of those days, I think--a waterproof mascara kind of day.

I am glad you were able to forgive, and you are so right about that. (I need some work in that area myself.)

Here's a quote out of my trusty "The World According to Mister Rogers" book:

"One of my wise teachers, Dr. William F. Orr, told me, 'There is only one thing evil cannot stand and that is forgiveness.'"
~ Fred Rogers

Thank you Jane..........it is hard some days.

[spacegirl]

*cries... I've sent you a pm Tammie. I'm so sorry

[Justme57]

Oh ! Jane , I know exactly what you mean!

I cannot believe that some little Sh..e could do that to SG, and cause such terrible injuries!

I find it very emotional when friends from SR are hurt or troubled. There are so many people here who I consider my "family". I dont have any siblings, and many SR posters are like my sisters and brothers, to me

It has been an emotional couple of weeks here really, with SGs trauma, and then trish, and others coping with amazingly hard stuff. i have cried a lot these last few days. BUT that is what we are here for, to encourage and lift each other . I am reminded of " Footsteps". We seem to carry each other , when they cant walk themselves.

I hope you feel better soon Jane, it shows what a caring compassionate person you are

(((Jane)))

I just saw your thread. I know how you feel. Between Trish(Miracle) and what happened to Spacegirl, my heart is heavy and sad indeed. But, we must plod on and try to be happy and make others happy. You make me happy. Hang in there friend.

You guys are all the BEST. And I think this is the best place on the internet. I don't know what I would do if my computer broke!

Do you ever have those long, shuddering breaths after you've cried hard? It's been a few hours since I was sobbing, and I'm still breathing that way! But sometimes it's nice to be worn out.

im all cried out for now...just numb...
