(((((Steve))))) i'm sorry. you can pray. pray for humanity.

i am so sorry you are hurting. i appreciated the trigger icon. its just that i figured "heartbreak" meant a girl...

ok, so, well.... here's the thing. i won't be participating in this thread, beyond this post. please forgive me. i don't know the whole Connecticut story and do not want to, but i thought i'd at least explain why.


thing with me is i am already in too deep - i can't avoid the news my parents put it on and i get multiple daily overdoses of reports on yes, kids getting killed, and some by bombs, other horrific stories of violent crimes in the streets, in families, abundance of local natural disasters here this year have reaped deaths and homeless. i don't talk about it because i cannot deal. then there's the scary political/economical crap going on here that hits all the stranded people, and me directly. i am going to stop now. sorry. i feel nauseated and upturned in the soul. any and all of it all makes my skin crawl and it is not like i can divine what preschool is gonna be bombed next or by whom or who's gonna go off the deep end with a gun, nor the gangs that "mess up" 11 year old girls before beating them dead.


i wish these crimes would not get so much press. i don't see how it helps. in fact i think it can incite violence in others who may have that tendency. that makes me doubly sick. a lot of violent crimes are about getting attention. and the media steps right up to the plate. ugh.

i understand it hurts Steve. I hope you can say a prayer and think of something else soon. You hurt because you have a heart of gold.

Steve,

I send prayers and good thoughts to you Steve.
I am like Waves I think in that I limit thinking about these kinds of dreadful acts. I like to be informed but I otherwise distance myself from feeling too much about them.
I need to save myself. Today was very hard. I am going to be ok ( after lots if extra Klonopin thank goodness).

Lots of hugs to the room.

I just read this article and thought it sheds some light. It is written by a psychiatrist explaining Who Would Kill Children?

I'm not saying poor thing about the shooter, but it sounds like he's had issues since he was little. I hope his parents tried to get him treatment. ---------------------------

"Adam Lanza has been a weird kid since we were five years old," wrote a neighbor and former classmate Timothy Dalton on Twitter. "As horrible as this was, I can't say I am surprised."

In school, Lanza carried a black briefcase and spoke little. Every day, he wore a sort of uniform: khakis and a shirt buttoned up to the neck, with pens lined up in his shirt pocket.

He hated being called on by teachers, and it seemed to require a physical effort for him to respond. He avoided public attention and had few, if any, friends. He liked to sit near the door of the classroom to make a quick exit.

He even managed to avoid having his picture in his high school yearbook. Instead of his portrait, the space reserved for Adam Lanza says "Camera Shy." And unlike most in his age group, he seems to have left little imprint on the internet – no Facebook page, no Twitter account."

me too, Steve. It is unfathomable. So unfathomable. I just can't wrap my mind around the evil that's in the world. I am praying for their families. And like waves said, let's pray for humanity. This world needs divine help & mercy.
