- No. Speaking for myself, I'm saying that when worse comes to worst,
- I know I'm responsible for my own pain, grief and happiness. I can
- ask for help from others to get through my toughest times, but there
- are times when nobody can be there for you. (And boy howdy, I know
- THAT to be true from personal experience.) To make it through those
- times, you'd better develop some ways of coping that _don't_ place
- demands on other people.
