God, I feel sorry for just about everyone.


While Im not a gay hater or a gay cheerleader (I guess I hate them as much as I hate heterosexuals, don't like people much......) There are so many people t feel sorry for, and a few to really get pissed at.

I feel sorry for the child first and foremost. Shows the utter destructive power of divorce (or should I say the destructive power of a marriage that never should have been.

I feel for the woman. NOTHING is as much as a betrayal as one spouse being left for a homosexual "other man" or 'other woman"

I feel badly for the gay father. It must be horrible to be torn apart by who your really are and who you've been taught to be.

BUT, there are two acts of selfishness that I cannot get over.

1. As betrayed as she was, she is absolutely despicable in that she blinded herself to her mans violence towards her son. A mothers first and foremost responsiblitly is to her offspring, period. Her happiness should ALWAYS take a back seat. Always. She may as well have broken his hand herself. Selfish, selfish.

2 As tough as it must be to come to the realization that you may have a sexual preference that is contrary to what society says you should have, USING another person to VALIDATE OR INVALIDATE your feelings is AWFUL, SELFISH. The pain you can cause an other innocent human being in your "experiment" is mind boggling.


I guess the moral of this story is that people must make the RIGHT choices, NOT the selfish choices. And it seems so often that the selfish choice is the one that wins out. Including myself.......That is why I loath humans so much....
