Why am I a single parent to other people's children?

WARNING: The following is a rant Meredith will probably feel incredibly guilty about later. If I don't get this out somehwere, I'm going to strangle myself just to get a little piece and quiet. Please don't think horribly of me.

Hey hon, I am sorry that you are feeling so stressed. I know how you feel. I am the one most of my friends come to as well and I often feel guilty when they piss me off. I don't think you are a bad person, just a frustrated one. Better to blow off steam here, that's what it's for. Remember, your feelings don't make you good or bad, it's how you react. It sounds to me like you react with love and understanding.

PS. I miss your story. No rush, I will be there to read it when it is ready, I just wanted you to know.

That makes sense-- you have a very kind and giving personality and it comes through very clearly, even on the 'net. I think people that give tend to be taken advantage of, often not deliberately, but because their very nature draws people to them. I'm not a very giving person myself... it's just the roll I've fallen into. I try hard to be there when others need me. It's just that I sometimes need the comfort of solitude, instead of a crowd around me. ^_^

Thank you so much for being sweet and listening!
