Of course my sister and her gang of 'friends' are the types who incessantly blame society, and even God ,for their troubles for I guess you expected me to think the same way. Maybe you think that way too since you are so eager to pin that label on others while you ignore the facts.

but no, Linda.. far as i can tell.. as adults with the freedom to leave a situation and change the direction of our own lives at any moment, I really do sincerely believe each and every one us is essentially responsible for our own troubles, or blessings, with some help from God, as the case may be.

It's not like homosexuals are really slaves to their butt plugs. They just like to pretend it's so.

I learned that many years ago. Most of the gays I knew from NYC are probably dead by now. Every single one I knew either had hepatitus or AIDS.

Sometimes simply having the strength to get up and walk away from a situation is the hardest thing to do but sometimes it has to be done. Just get up and leave, with nothing, start over. I've had to do it a few times in my life. My sister never quite understood that because she blames the rest of the world, and God, for the way she is. She sees herself as a victim, stuck. The rest of the family pretty much sees her as a victim of her own behavior but you can't tell her that she becomes viscious. My dad will probably outlive her.

I pray for her that's all anyone can do.
