(you)Yeah, I bet your husband is all excited about your threats. I know I'm not.
(me)You, however, could learn a little bit about empathy.
(you)I have empathy. I've heard, at 20+ years of AA meetings stories that would rival whatever your husband went through. They are alive today and didn't take their own lives. Some died and some took their lives. I've heard it all. From diseases to being locked up as a sex slave and they stayed alive to tell their stories so others could learn - and empathize.
(you)Sorry, your husband is dead. (I CANNOT BELIEVE YOU SAID THAT. DID YOU MEAN TO BE SO COLD, OR IS YOUR PUNCTUATION JUST A TAD OFF? )Your scorn and anger don't really faze me. Perhaps if you'd explained yourself better in the first place you wouldn't be making childish threats of violence on FR.
If you still think you want to "kick my ass" so be it. I have more class than to even think about an older woman fighting over name calling let alone participate in it.
I was not aware that I had to explain myself. I was not aware that you hold the list of acceptable behaviours.
And really, I was NOT aware that you are the judge of whether a person's circumstances warrant their suicide. I did not know that there was a scale for all to be judged by.
In my continuing effort to educate you regarding empathy, let me give you some advice. Each person's life is different, with different sets of difficulties. An empathetic person realizes this, and doesn't presume to quantify or judge another's journey. An empathetic person may hold up a map, hold the flashlight, or walk on the path along side you. An empathetic person wouldn't dare (as you have done) to quantify another's disasters. You might want to think about that.
As for my (empty) threats to have you step outside, of course you ignored the part about educating you and chose to point out the classlessnes.
If someone spoke to your wife the way you've spoken to me, I hope to God you would at least *think* about asking them to step outside. I know my husband would, and after considerable talking on my part, he would never had hit anyone. Matter of fact, I don't believe he ever hit anyone, he was a talker. Yeah, he had to hold ME back a few times, thank God.
You spoke disparingly of my husband and crassly to me. Since DH is no longer here to defend me,(but oh my! did he ever leave me the tools to take care of myself!)I'm getting pretty good at standing up for myself.
You've shown yourself to be petty and cold. But that wasn't good enough, was it? You had to play the age card! Perfect. MAJOR LIFE HINT: The first rule of holes is : stop digging. Or, in your case, you may cease speaking to me at any time. buh bye!
