(6,234 posts)I have a habit of coming across in my writing far harsher than it sounded to me in my head. Not saying that YOU have that problem, only that I am familiar with having people read something in a way I did not intend.
As for the other post, YES my actions were sickening. Even later that day I was disgusted with myself and grateful I didn't find that punk. But even today, years later, I can picture my daughter, wanting so much to make a good impression (and that's bloody hard when you are poor -- kids are very judgemental) standing there drenched from head to toe and crying as that jerk drove off laughing at her. Even today it breaks my heart. I wanted very much to do more for her, and I never could. Anyway, that's irrelevant. I was simply trying to point out that people do insane things, especially where their kids are concerned.
