(((candybear))) my heart goes out to you, and I can see that you know why you are so upset over this.

A while back I posted in self esteem the dangers of comparing ourselves, our lives to others. It will "get us into trouble everytime."

What was done in your case was what was considered the best for the sake of all around. Yes, you did lose those years. To compare your situation with Yates does you a disservice, imo.

With that said, look at what you, yourself posted: </font><blockquote><div id="quote"><font class="small">Quote:</font>
Watch out folks, I'm on a rampage tonight (PMSing, sorry, it happens).

</div></font></blockquote><font class="post"> Why did you feel the need to clarify that? Is it because you don't think straight, or as well during these times? Can you find the connection to the whole thread in that?

Everyone has the right to have an opinion. My opinion is right for me. It might not be for you.
