Do you think it is unhealthy that I feel entitled after so many years to be supported for a time so that I can cultivate something that I am passionate about?
No. No, no, no, no, no. And...no.
Absolutely entitled. Absolutely not unhealthy. The only thing mildly unhealthy would be to EXPECT H to resolve that sense of entitlement for you, instead of being determined to do so yourself.
You know the old Bible thing -- gasp! Heathenic Himself is quoting Scripture! Devils 'n' whatnot, LOL -- give a fellow a fish vs. teaching him to fish?
[@Coach and @SMW and some others will know the real thing -- just a vague recollection of days spent beneath the stern gaze of Fr. Weiss (who insisted on being called "Father Wise," which ought to explain a lot about Smiley's Person to our Good Christian Friends here!)]
Okay, that being said, can we re-frame this sentence: "I feel entitled to be supported" so that it imparts some positive direction for you?
btw -- are you on FB? Are you friend of Kalni's? If so, we might consider having a coffee for giggles and grins one day. I suspect we're closer [on a lot of topics, of course, not in any geographical sense ;-)] than we might think.
