They were mean , selfish and did horrible things to me most of my life and so I have trouble feeling sorrow for them . I have no problem pitying them for their loss , ( my loss as well but I am willing to lose and walk away when the price is too high to stay ) their destruction of us ever sharing the fruits of what a family can truly be in a person 's life .
