I wasn't yelling. Out of respect for Jeffrey, I will not yell on this board. Shame comes from within, regardless of whether I say it or not. I can't make anyone feel shame on an anonymous forum. What power have I? BTW, a heap is 4 shames. Learned that in Algebra I.

What I find offensive is a small child abused. He can't script a rebuttle to the phrase "You ruined my life." What matters if an adult guilty of that gets offended because I say "shame" cubed? That is disastrous, a bad start in a child's life. Therefore, I will not concede.

Whew... thank you. Is it perfectly okay to tell them they ruined your life?

I agree! Nowhere did I say someone was a bad person. Everyone feels shame at some time and surely we are not all bad people. I think that parents who tell their children they are the cause for their unhappiness are parents who call their children bad persons. That is not okay in my book, and it ranks higher than walking on eggshells.
