According to Atticus Finch

"If you can learn a simple trick, Scout, you'll get along a lot better with all kinds of folks. You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view, until you climb inside of his skin and walk around in it" ~ Atticus Finch in To Kill a Mockingbird

Truer words were never spoken.  How many times have you had someone say to you "You need to just get over it?"   Or "You need to move on?"  I've heard it too many times.

Until you have walked in the skin of a woman who has learned after decades of marriage that her husband is gay and has slept with dozens of men, often in their marital bed, you cannot begin to understand what she's gone through or is going through.  CANNOT UNDERSTAND.  Period.

And to say "move on" or "get over it" is cruel and uncaring.

Would you say that to a mother who is grieving over the death of her child?  To the wife whose beloved husband just died of cancer?  To the child who has lost a parent?

Then why would you say it to someone whose marriage and dreams for the future have died?

P.S.  Tonight I'll be watching the new Fran Drescher show on TVLand.  It's on at 10:30 Eastern/9:30 Central.  I don't believe in criticizing something unless I've actually seen it.  I want to be able to use personal viewing experience to base my complaint on.
