i bought some groceries today for someone i care about that is hard to care about sometimes . why is it hard for you ? they make it hard because they have a lot of problems and they take their anger out on me . but they are trying really hard to change .. and while it 's too soon to tell .. i felt very compassionate towards them today . well , that 's really great of you to be the bigger person in such a situation . they have some mental illness and they had a very rough child hood .. i saw a video the other day that reminded me of what their child hood was like .. i ca n't imagine how i would be if i grew up like that
