Can I Vent

I love me some Christians. Let me say that before I start. I was sharing with someone how I had puked everything up that I had ever eaten since I was 2 & my head was killing me. Their response: God is in control. DUH. I know that but that doesn't make me feel any better. Then they said: Don't worry everything will be OK. I say I'm not worried I'M SICK. Again: You will be well OK. ME: I know I'll be OK but that does not help right now. Then: I am praying that you can get better. I said yea, whatever. I know I sound hateful but that drives me up the wall. It's like telling someone in mourning they're in a better place. Really? How does that help my heart right now. I say I'm sick please don't say God is over all, yadda yadda. I already know that. Say you're sorry or something. Actually, I'm not looking for u to say anything. I'm really just sharing. I'm not looking for a miracle because life is life. We gonna have sicknesses & trials. It is what it is. Do you feel the same as me or are you on the other end of the spectrum? Am I just ill right now? lol

Deserey, he would. He does not know that pain & I hope he never has to.

The best advice I have given my kids is this:

When someone is venting, sit down, shut up, and listen. When the person venting asks for your input, then you can give it.  This is especially important when it's your spouse.lol

Lol, Gary. The 3 Bs are very important in all relationships: be sensitive, be available, be quiet. :)

This is the best input I've read in this discussion.  :-)

A man is talking to his doctor and tells him his wife has been getting angrier and angrier. The doctor tells him the next time his wife starts to get angry to get some chewing gum and just chew and chew and it will calm her down. Next time the man goes to his doctor he says Doc! You were right. She started getting mad the other day and I just started chewing gum and she calmed right down. But I don't understand. How does chewing gum calm her down? Doc says the gum itself does nothing. But you keeping your mouth closed works wonders.
