What a moronic and useless comment. Is such idiocy normal for you?

Most poeple do not have to be hospitalized after their father's death. Would you wish that the doctor's NOT consider his past drug use when treating him?

Most people? What, Are you now a know-it-all pollster, too? SHADDUP already. Sheese. He was CLOSE to his dad. Maybe that is something you can't understand.

Everyone reacts differently to grief. Don't judge others, as it often comes back to bite you in the a**.

Grief can do odd things to you. When you have to plan a funeral, get through the viewing, the service, the burial you go on 'auto pilot' you just do what has to be done. When all the external 'things' are covered and you are alone with your thoughts your emotions can just take over you. I know...I am any only child and both of my parents away (I was young when my mom died, and my dad died a three years ago--we were very, very close). You do what needs to be done and then you just unravel yourself until you sort things out. I have never been a Barry Bonds fan (I remember him from his days as a Pittsburgh Pirate) but he is obviously hurting emotionally. May the Lord be with him and his family....

Most people don't wind up flying across the country half a dozen times in a few months during their father's convalesence either. Also some people are more emotionally tough than others, I knew a guy that checked himself in for a couple of weeks everytime a girl dumped him (and when you're that fragile you get dumped a lot) I'm sure he did some hospital time when his parents died. There's absolutely no proof Bond used steroids and actually his lower rate of injury since bulking up is pretty good evidence that it's natural bulking.

You are a very sad and sick individual. Would you please elaborate on "his past drug use". You seem to have a habit of creating malicious lies to justify posting malodorous junk. Such postings are a window to a very twisted and demented mind. The more one reads your comments the more one gains insight into the paucity of your mental capacity to reason -all the better to judge you with I see.

In point of fact, it is very common for caregivers and family of a person recently deceased to end up hospitalized. I have a close friend who recently lost a family member and he was told over and over by the docs to take care of himself, because the stress of losing a close relative is intense. Now why don't you folks, who apparently have no compassion or understanding, try and restrain yourselves on threads like this.

[PISANO]

I agree with you. The feminization of AMERICA has taken root and sprouting like wildfire. When the MOST celebrated "MACHO" home run hitter of our lifetime has to be hospitalized for the passing of his father, well there is MORE to the story than just that.

Most all of us have lost our father, a trying time to be sure, but HOSTPITALIZATION is NOT a normal result of that sorrow. Sorry if that sounds 'INSENSITIVE', but that is my HO.
