All proceeds will go to Stuffed Animals everywhere that were ever made to sleep with their foot in their eye! (or any other uncomfortable positions) LOL

She has been a fantastic teacher for me, considering my Sag Sun wants to point and scream any time I see dishonesty or people pretending not to notice harm. Some people are just not built to face the truth. I think that goes beyond just her Sun and Moon signs though.

That is SOOOO true! You know, I think I've realized over the years that people who lie/manipulate drive me batty simply because I have such a strong Sagittarius/9th house influence in my chart. I just automatically want to point it out and call them on their crap.

I'm trying to do better and disengage a bit from my friendships/relationships that are like this, but I'm so all or nothing about the people in my life that it can be hard for me to understand why someone who claims to be my friend is lying to me and causing drama when it doesn't seem to be necessary (just doesn't compute in my head).

Luckily, I never had to experience this growing up, as I lucked out in the parent lottery and got really awesome parents. Kudos to those of you who put up with the drama and are still mature enough to handle it when it comes to parents. Unfortunately, I have had to deal with some of this behavior in my brother, but it started happening more after I left the house, so the repercussions weren't so direct for me.

I think the thing people may not necessarily know about Sag is that we actually want people to call us out on our own crap. We will fight the accusation and force you to prove it, but once it's proven, we feel like a jerk. We hate being wrong or untruthful, so when we see it in others we want to spare them the humiliation. It took a while for me to comprehend that some folks don't care that much about truth outside of their own perceptions.

Yeah, I could see that. Honestly, those are the people that I usually feel the most sad for though. After I realize that the truth is so incredibly painful for them that they simply can't/won't face it, I just feel really sad about it.

As for your family situation, sometimes I think those of us who grow up in weird circumstances are more fortunate than those who don't. Where kids with great parents are fortunate enough to have a caring foundation, it could make facing the world outside of the care of one's family, a very frustrating and uncharted territory.

---

Yeah, the 'real world' can be frustrating/hard/sh*tty sometimes, but I still feel fortunate that I was coming from a stable base that gave me refuge from the crap that the outside world can bring (when I was a kid), because I've known so many people who don't have that and are really worse off for it. However, I've also known people who come out of it a lot better off than they might have been otherwise, so... It's kind of a mixed bag really. It's hard to say, because things are simply the way they are. I guess I'm saying that I'M just glad that I had that sort of guidance and care, because I probably would have ended up on the crappier end of the spectrum if I hadn't had that.

I remember being young and wishing for a "normal" family, but as I have matured, I realize good parents are a bit like unicorns. =)
