@MisterE Yes and yes (and some that need our help) and thank you. It’s hard, I was raised on guilt.

@carmahaz Don't take me as a hardass ( too much, anyway ).

It would be nice to quit everything and go somewhere and do something as a good cause. I'm more practically-minded, so I know I can't just leave off and go.

I wish you well in your good causes.

@MisterE the crash and cancer got in our way.

@carmahaz Things that happen need to be put in perspective. Time can do that.

When I say screw guilt, it's because guilt and regrets paralyze us. it sucks.

Good luck on your journey.

@MisterE perspective. I know the walk away could cause great pain to our babies and grand-babies. Then on the other hand it is they I fear for.

@carmahaz I wish that you wouldn't cause your kids and grandkids any pain by what you do, even if you think that you can justify it.

Teach Your Children Well isn't only the title of a song. Give it a shot and report back.
