That’s rude!

Right after posting “Perfect is the enemy of good-enough”, you got snobby and apathetic.

But while you’re virtue signaling to everyone about how perfect YOU are...

What about those of us (like me) who lost our only child and the pain of that loss was so great that it destroyed the marriage we had and now we’re each alone?

How about having just a tiny bit of empathy for strangers in their pain while puffing yourself up in your judgy self-righteousness Mr. high-n-not-so-mighty?

Without empathy you just sound like a snob.

If you pulled that stunt to my face, knowing our story, I’d smash the nearest solid item on your microballs.

But then again..
It’s ALL ABOUT YOUR PERFECT WORLD, while being absolutely indifferent about the pain of others.

May your never experience the pain of losing a child.

“I feel sorry for those who gave up that experience.”

That was his commment.

His comment was obviously directed at people who chose not to have children (that experience)not someone like yourself who lost a child. Losing a child is devastating and we sympathize with you. I know that Dean (MarkTwain) would never mean to imply anything negative about your situation.
I can assure you Dean is like I am. I have many friend who, for various reasons chose not to have children, and now, when they are past their prime for children regret that decision.

His comment was just for those who made a decisions not to have children and now regret it (thats empathy).

Your insults towards Dean are over the top and ridiculous.

You should formally apologize in this thread.

So sorry for your loss. I have experienced this very thing, may the Lord Bless you with comfort.
