I’m with Ms. Capulet, I don’t think it is selfish to just want to vent. Yes, it may not be as bad for you as is for someone else. However, it still may be bad for you!
So are you saying I can’t cry on someones shoulder because its bad all over? Gee…
Ten minutes actually having to care for a kid with cancer in real life and this woman would be so out of there. Changing a catheter and cleaning the bag, cleaning up vomit, bed sheets, spoon feeding, making sure pills get taken at the right time, making chemo appointments, getting insurance and government payments on time to the providers, driving to multiple doctors on the same day. Convincing the radiologist not to go nuts on the tumors, trying to figure out how the chemo might actually work for the child when it failed others. Yeah, I know it’s just a cartoon, but the way reality would bite her in the butt would be very ugly.

She’s right, she should be allowed to have her own feelings and express them without having them shrugged off.

@ejcapulet:
Right said. Nothing like invalidating a person’s emotions by telling them how “fortunate” they are compared to others.
