I was sick and bed ridden for over a year. My husband and teenagers would hardly say hello or bring me water but the two cats would take turns, one would not leave my side until the other one came in to sit with me, they never left me alone for over a year. Animals can be more loving and compassionate than humans. The two cats were adult strays I had began feeding and they had not been in the family that long before they adopted me. Even strangers, be they cats, can be more compassionate than our own family.


Wow, that's incredible. What I want to know though is why your husband and teens would treat you that way when sick.




I would like to know the same thing. You spend years loving and caring for your children and when grown they can turn on you in just a few seconds one day with a little brain washing and bribery. My husband was living a double life I found out when I got better this church leader I was married to had racked up 80K in debt, gambling, drugs etc, lying to the children and church to turn them against me to cover his own ass from being revield. I lost everything, including the kids inheritance from their dead fathers death from an earlier marriage. You know how it goes, people believe the liar over the truth, everyone fell for his con jobs and I lost everyone in my life and every thing I had even the two cats.

I had to go camp in the woods for the next few years before I could get assistance, too sick to go back to work and no where to go after loosing the house I built with my own two hands, and all the debt he had left to me etc. The cats did not survive the wild. I saw so much hypocracy as the church helped this ass do all this, I think I might be athiest now.

Too bad you asked, I answered. Point being human nature is bad bad bad, we see it everywhere. I have learned it is not how you are raised that makes the differance in a good or bad person, nor does being in the church. My question is what does make some of us good honest people when the majority are not? I got more help and compassion from the local drug dealers than I ever did the church, social services and the medical field.
