Well just so you know, I have been where spacedog is, and it took ALOT out of my whole family....... we were homeless, found a place in public housing, set a goal to be out of there and own our own place again within 5 years. Made it out of that place in 3 years, 2 years ahead of our goal........ it is now 4 years later and I own my own place again. It took ALOT of work.......
My husband took the worst SHIT jobs you could think of to help pay the bills, I went in search of some way to help him pay the bills and be able to stay at home and raise my kids, not to mention I was told I would never work again because my back is so fucked......... so I know despair probably better than anyone.
I was also very abused as a child by not one, but BOTH of my parents...... I was molested in my own home, molested 2 more times before I was 18. I have been raped........ you name it and it has pretty much happened to me......... my back is fucked to this day and I can't work because of abuse I suffered from my own father.....
Having said all of this, and NO do NOT ever pity me......... but having said all of this, NO ONE knows despair more than me. But life is what YOU make of it and the drive and passion you have to better YOURSELF......... and if you can't laugh about shit then you have learned not one damn thing from it. I can easily and often DO laugh about things that have happened to me........ why? Because it has made me who I am today, love me or hate me, I am just me. I grew up a better person and a parent BECAUSE of all of this, so I don't even think two shits about laughing at it now. I took what I could from each and every experience in my life and made SOMETHING good out of it. I don't regret any of it and I wouldn't change a damn thing about it.
So no I never laugh at others misfortune but I DO laugh sometimes at how they handle their own demons and despairs....... why? Oh hell I don't know........ I just laugh at whatever strikes me as funny, and this did. I know the situation with spacedog, I read part of it, but in MY opinion, instead of sitting here ALL night trying to get someone to BUY his sites and such, he should have been out stomping the streets trying to find means to get his family housing, whatever it was. Pride for me goes right out the window and I don't give a SHIT about what KIND of housing it is, as long as my kids have a roof over their heads and a meal on the table, I am never ever to proud to go wherever I need to go to get the help I need to get.
SHIT... I got WAY off topic...... I just thought it was funny and I DO have the right to laugh, I have been there too damn many times...... and I never once ever expected anyone to do it FOR me, we did it our DAMN selves......... that was my point. LOL
