It was, without a doubt, my last Starbucks ever. So I started googling to see if maybe I was just being an overly sensitive infertile.

Without the surgery you would have died'? Then yes, it was for the best.<BR/><BR/>Or is he dismissing the person's feelings? <BR/><BR/>The dismissiveness in those statements hurts, though some may have a grain of truth in them.Lut C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03893061829410958985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30651776.post-83077987996810951532007-02-21T08:11:00.000-05:002007-02-21T08:11:00.000-05:00Add the "Just be grateful" to that list.....Add the "Just be grateful" to that list.....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30651776.post-6259869802807613072007-02-21T01:24:00.000-05:002007-02-21T01:24:00.000-05:00I would like to add the comment that a family memb...I would like to add the comment that a family member said to me after failed IVF #2, BFN #352- "Why do you want to raise a child in this world anyway?" and lets not forget the ever famous- "Just relax and it will happen"<BR/><BR/>UGHJosellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10960513531878999122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30651776.post-37763436152687668312007-02-20T23:36:00.000-05:002007-02-20T23:36:00.000-05:00It's a classic tactic of the powerful - divide and...It's a classic tactic of the powerful - divide and conquer. So long as we're fighting each other, we don't pay attention to what the powerful are doing and they can go on doing it. And what are they doing? Acquiring more power. It's quite breathtaking to watch, actually.<BR/><BR/>Why do we bite the bait? Insecurity about ourselves and our choices, and an inability to see shades of gray and be comfortable with them. Much of society is still governed by their lizard brain (myself included). And it may very well be our downfall.<BR/><BR/>Wow, what a cheery comment.
