It is relentless and maddening.

I hear you, Juno. As it ever was. Unfair.

How to let go of "fair" is the hardest thing in life, it seems.

At least I know the worst hurt in my life is associated with unfairness.

I am very sorry you have to cope with people who don't have nearly the integrity and work ethic you do.
It's not fair.

love
Hops

It's funny that I got the idea that life could be fair from my parents.  My mother who was obsessed with the appearance of things being "even" between my sister and me, when it was anything but.  And my father who lived in his own little world where if something should be possible then it was possible and existed somewhere and was to be aimed for.

And I just absorbed all these wrong ideas from day one.

My greatest rage has to do with the concept of "fair".  I continue to try to get "justice" from my parents, try to get "my due" from my parents.  Hops, your issue with the house raises all my rage over justice and parents and related things I can't put into words.  It is a rage I feel, it is one of my greatest wounds.
