[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 749588, member: 15801"] Hmmmm I have a mixed reaction. On the one hand I get where she is coming from in that someone always has something worse to deal with than you do and there is strange comfort in that. Its like when there was a lot in the news about ISIS and american kids joining and things with my son were bad I would laugh and say well at least he hasnt joined ISIS. Of course I didnt know anyone whose kid had done that and I dont think I would have said that if I did. On the other hand her saying your troubles relax me and make me feel better so tell me all about it...feels icky. I mean where is the empathy for you? After she said that I think I would clam up and not tell her a thing. TL [/QUOTE]
