Never said any of what you wrote and never said I didn’t make mistakes.

You’re sure you’ll never face dire circumstances?
I have but made quick choices to resolve those circumstances.

Always make the right decisions?
Nope made numerous bad ones, took responsibility and accepted the punishment but learned quick.

Nothing will ever happen that’s beyond your control?
Had a business I worked for go bankrupt. I was young married with our first kid. Paychecks bounced, I then bounced from useless job to useless job and I had a family I wasn’t supporting so I joined the Navy for a full time job and get myself some much needed discipline and that led to a great career choice after the Navy.

Now retired and living the dream, still married, 4 grandkids , we do what we want not hurting and enjoying life.

Life’s about choices.. repeating bad ones over and over then blaming everyone else for your decision gets no sympathy from me.

“”Never said any of what you wrote and never said I didn’t make mistakes.””

I didn’t say those were your words - that was the take away from your original post...self sufficient and no respect or patience for anyone who wasn’t. Kudos to you for rising above all the situations you faced - seriously.
