[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 749610, member: 15032"] My husband always said "misery loves company" when we were dealing with our son's issues. I agree that she should not have said that or it could have come out the wrong way. I also think sometimes about my problems and how they compare to other people's but I think of other parts of the world where there is really bad stuff happening. I've never gone hungry, homeless etc. I go to the extreme with my thoughts because my pain was so deep that I use that as my gauge of "worse". I would not like it if someone took pleasure in my pain but I think a small part of that is maybe human nature? I don't think pleasure is the right word here really either. I think we all sigh in relief as "whew glad that's not me" in regard to some things. I know that I do. [/QUOTE]
