Many people would say that seeing someone you love in pain (and being able to do nothing to help them) is far worst than being in pain yourself.0 -

I think that most people have suffered severe pain at some point, even if they are fortunate enough not to be in pain all the time.
I have no children of my own but I'm sure that many parents would take the pain on themselves if that were possible, rather than seeing their child suffer. This would also apply to other close relationships - it's not really a question of sympathy at all.0 -

Very true.
(I may have half this thread on ignore, but the comments I'm seeing quoted really are getting up my nose - which obviously meant I was right to put certain people on ignore!)

She is just an annoying child who has no experience of anything. And amazingly childlike for someone who was supposed to have been at University living an independent life.
I do not believe a single syllable she posts.0 -
