		<description>I thought you'd enjoy it. Each time I read it I like it more.
Blonde - go for it!
RMS - "I believe the hostility they express to us is what they really feel for themselves on a level so deep they can’t admit it..."
I think that's very true. And what a pity, because they'd feel so much better if they weren't so hostile and raging at us.</description>

		<description>That was fabulous, thank you for sharing, Britgirl!

"Could it be that you, in fact, are the one seething with bitterness and resentment? "

To me, this sentence typifies the very essence of what I believe is the reason for breeders' (not parents) extreme reactions. It's sad that they seem to think that expressing any kind of disappointment or fatigue with being a parent is somehow disloyal and so instead of rightly expressing their actual feelings, they suppress it and express it as rage at us. 

There is an idea that we are mirrors to each other, that what we express to others is what we see in ourselves. For breeders expressing this hostility, I think it is very true. I believe the hostility they express to us is what they really feel for themselves on a level so deep they can't admit it.</description>

		<description>Thanks for sharing this letter... I love it and am trying to figure out one to write of my own that aligns with the bashing I get that is more, er, passive aggressive and those delivering don't even recognize how vengeful they are.</description>

		<description>Trolls are like natures pressure relief.  They storm into a "safe" space and spew their unintelligible bile, and then folks like me get to rip them a virtual new one, allowing me to get through the rest of my day without ripping an actual person's head off.</description>
