There are people who are badly hurt, who want to stay in a place of hurt. We can't change the way they want to be. But we *can* change how we perceive them, because that's our choice to make.Justine Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14190295175501659469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4129722175911979282.post-79026207293264460142014-11-30T02:54:57.545-08:002014-11-30T02:54:57.545-08:00"Bitter infertile" is a horrible label. ..."Bitter infertile" is a horrible label. You could equally accuse others of being bitter about things in their life that didn't go well, but that's not who you are, or who any of us want to be. Some people, however, are naturally bitter. So there will be infertiles who are bitter, just as there will be parents who are bitter too. And it is natural I think to feel bitter about some things. But that doesn't mean we are bitter people. And hopefully we manage to move past them. I think the simple case that you want to be aware and empathetic shows that you are not a bitter person. Ahh. If only others could see this.Malihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03928262526502319303noreply@blogger.com
