Breezy,
you're right! Unfortunately, many humans are rather selfish. Not all, but, I think something is a 'little funny' with this last generation, after the Boomers.

My first wife, came up with the brilliant exclamation, that she didn't want to be married to a "drug addict", when I was put on methadone. I said, that's OK, I don't want to live with pain, and You are one! (I didn't really say that, I was just awestruck by her thinking).
2nd wife, stole everything I had, and my parents had left to me and my children~ (I never worked for anyone in my life, except my parents, or myself), after my TBI. I didn't expect to live, honestly, I was in such a 'walking coma' for several years, kept awake with provigal occasionally. That accident happened 11 years ago, and I'm still up to my ears in litigation.. And,, my children haven't spoke to me in 5 years. (because, I think, they told me it was coming, they could see right through her).

Breezy,
I know you, and lots of us here are alone.
But, there is still a future, and if you want a partner, you will find one!
Just because some jerk didn't or couldn't see the value that IS intrinsic in you, doesn't mean that all are like that!

Be well!

Pete
