pteromom Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 I might be alone in the matter, but I feel sympathy for cheaters, abusers, liars, and the such. In my mind, it all stems from deeper issues and it makes me feel terrible that these people have to undergo such. I feel sympathy for those hurt by them, but everyone deserves understanding. I truly felt this when I met a man who was so consumed by his drug addiction that his wife left him. He was a great man, but a ****ty husband that destroyed his marriage. His actions were wrong, but he was a good, decent man. I truly hope he is happy and got his life back together. The world is full of grey even if a person's actions can be associated as right or wrong. You aren't alone, and I agree with you. And again, the way you think about this stuff would make you an excellent therapist, because you would be going in with the mindset of understanding and guiding, not judging and condemning. I wouldn't say I have SYMPATHY for people who do heinous things, but I can usually consider the WHYS and understand what led them to do the things they did. 2
