If someone did not want to lend a sympathetic or empathetic ear to the adult child of a toxic parent, I would suggest saying this:
"I'm sorry for your pain, but I need focus on people worse off (than you)."
I'm wondering if the words "than you" should be taken off, but I don't want to make too many rules on how people should speak. It's hard enough to expect that many won't spit out "grow up" or "get a job" (even though finding employment and financial independence is a necessary part of freeing yourself from toxic parents).
I sent out four resumes to my temp agency. But hoping to be a scientific research assistant. First and foremost, I need a house after my lease ends!
Emails, craigslist, etc are my friends...who are yours?
