Reply #29: I see cruelty here every damn day. [View All]

On every forum. Often to the most vulnerable. It sickens me. I see life and death every day now (I often get to do things at work like bring mothers their stillborn babies, send people home to die in hospice) and I barely post because I don't have the time or energy for any more cruelty toward other humans. I can't post much of anything personal anymore because my heart can't stand how shitty I've felt when so often in the (now years) past on DU (with much smaller things than what you went through), some people have taken things of meaning to me, laugh, and twist them back into my heart. What happens with the way people act toward celebrity tragedy is only symptom of a much larger, crueler picture.

I empathize and I'm sorry. I know you probably don't feel strong, but you have so much courage. You're an amazing woman who doesn't even begin to deserve the heartache you've been through.
