I had a discussion with someone who pulled the feeding tube of a parent. How do you explain he/she starved his/her parent???? I attempted to but it wasn't easy. Furthermore, that person was convinced the only reason people keep the tubes in, is to get the SS checks of their loved ones. That person made the same accusation of Nancy Reagan....now come on, with all her money did Nancy need Ronald Reagan's SS check? It's an argument that is completely irrational. But it' easier to believe such irrational arguments than to believe you starved a loved one.

"Many good people are duped into doing bad things. Being duped does not make you a bad person. But pretending that what you did was okay will make you a bad person until you acknowledge that it wasn't. Don't be angry at yourself, or those who speak the truth. Be angry instead at the people who lied to you, for your loved one's blood is on their hands."

I just want to make it clear, it wasn't me!!!!!!

Your angle is a good one, except that this particular person knew what he/she was doing. One of that person's responses to me was, "It was time (for their parent) to die."
