People who feel threatened lash out. People who are vulnerable lash out. People whose lives are at risk lash out.
No value judgment here. Just truth. They're trying to protect themselves.
So duck. Back off. Disengage.
About Me
- Carolyn Hill
- When I first started on Blogger, my handle was "Ratty", maintaining anonymity so that in my "Rat in the Walls" blog I could write about my brother's fatal illness without giving away his identity. Under that pseudonym, I could voice things I couldn't elsewhere. Rats thrive in the dark. ::: Now, five years after his death in 2008, I'm coming out of the walls and reclaiming my humanity.

Thank you Ratty. Your post was very timely. I am living with someone who lives with the threat of sickness and death every day. We are on our way to the hospital for an operation this afternoon. You reminded me that the occasional lashing out is not about me. I just need to learn to duck every once and a while.
I hope the operation goes well, Aquamarinehank. Best wishes.
