Don't Throw Your Family Away if they are Damaged, Different or Drugged

Don't Throw Your Family Away if they are Damaged, Different or Drugged

To refresh, IT as I use the word, is some health/biological or physical problem, YOURS. If you read my blog, just substitute your IT for my IT which is the depression syndrome: major depression, OCD and physiological anxiety.

So many families find it more convenient to ignore their own members than to deal with them. For those of us with IT, how many family members really even try?

Sure, some throw a few buck$ at the problem then, satisfied THEY did all they could, continue to ignore. Isn't that cute behavior? Smug rat fuckers need a smack down.

This is not to say anyone SHOULD try to be damaged or addicted etc. to understand, but rather that love, sympathy and empathy can be invoked and in some way the family stays together.

And for the others in the family, DO NOT "tolerate" your damaged or different family member. WTF is that, tolerating?

IF the phrase, Blood is thicker than water, has value NEVER "tolerate" a damaged, different or addicted family member. This is your family and part of being in a family IS or should be love, empathy and sympathy and isn't that a part of what a family needs and so rarely has?

No one wants to be tolerated. We want and deserve love, otherwise the notion of a family is a sham, a lie.

Maybe one day you will be damaged or old or different. Do you really want the family to treat you as you so willingly treated them when you were so haughty? Wouldn't that be a pretty picture? I see it developing even now.

This sounds like, Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. A golden rule in fact.

Add love. Do lovingly unto others as you would have them lovingly do unto you as families are supposed to if they are first conceived, well you have a gold and platinum rule for families.

Now think about YOUR family. Any so-called black sheep? Damaged, ill or different members?

Maybe they are only outsiders because they were forgotten or ignored by YOU. Maybe you need to look a little deeper into the mirror of life and collect the family regularly, help it heal and remember what it means to BE a group worthy to call itself a decent family.
