And You Thought Your Life Sucked?

I know this lady here in my town.. She's pretty nice. Seems somewhat normal and well adjusted. To look at her and speak to her you'd think she had the ideal life. But once the layers start to peel back and reveal what's hidden you instantly realize she's putting on a big front to the world. In a nutshell, her family, both close and distant seem to always have some huge fight going on. They turn on each other like dogs. They find even the most petty shit to fight over. She's married to an alcoholic too. She's gone through a lot and after finding out a lot of this she'll no doubt have a lot more to go through. I feel bad for her but what can ya do? If she's like me she wouldn't take anyone elses advice anyway. Just makes you think about what some deal with in this life.. either by their own hand or the hand of others. It poses a question in my mind though. Why do people have to be so self destructive and try to drag down everyone else in their path? People have enough to deal with just getting up and dealing with everyday life. Why are there always people that have to make that harder and add to the shit? I hope that lady makes it through everything okay.
