I have limits. Today there was someone weeping and wailing about the depth of her loss because her sister died. (not here)
For some reason, I looked at her account. Filled with vile hatred. Wishing death on others. Celebrating harm that befell others.
I used to do death and dying counseling. I could have reached out. Almost did.
Instead: blocked.
What goes around comes around.
Maybe she'll learn something from this. Doubt it.
@C_H_Antony It's not compassion fatigue.
My soul dog died August 4th. I'm in agony. I was asked to foster an abused, neglected dog in the SPCA shelter who's had cancer surgery, agonizing heart worm treatment, and had to be re-fed due to starvation.
I wasn't ready to take another foster.
She's decompressing with me.
The cancer may have spread. She's very needy.
I'll save my compassion for her.
Ms. I Hate Everyone Not Like Me isn't on my list.
I have limits.
@J_Windrow I’m so sorry. That’s a whole lot all at once. 🖤
I find myself in similar quandaries.
The lack of self awareness and hypocrisy is staggering.
Even here.

She had dozens of people praying for her. If I were someone who prayed, I'd be praying for her to get a clue.
Her hatred didn't kill her sister.
It wasn't karma.
But I'm not going to waste my time on someone who wraps themselves in hatred, the flag, and a repressive belief system.
Perhaps the next time she wishes horrible things on others she might realize that thoughts and intentions can boomerang.
Shakes head.
Some people go an entire lifetime and simply don’t get it.
My mother is 94. Still doesn’t.
Yes, some people never get it. It's exhausting and I'm not providing paid services in this area any more. If I were, I'd decline.
I have limits.
@J_Windrow: I totes get that. 💯
@J_Windrow compassion fatigue. I get it.
