I think your idea for the thread is great. It would do you and the rest of us good. I empathize with what you're saying, and you can't even point out that their 'struggles' are about as problematic as Grade 3 maths, coz then you're just insensitive... My sister is 12 yrs older than me, she BELIEVES I haven't lived long enough to know true suffering, while she's the 'my cat scratched my arm' type thanks for sharing
