Matter of opinion, GF. Yes, I believe they are going through a crisis and don't intentially MEAN to hurt anyone, but they refuse to SEE the damage they have caused in the world around them. Yes, they are suffering, but can't see beyond their own pain to what they do and say and how it effects their loved ones.

Are they selfish? IMHO, DAMN Straight. But how many selfish people, outright or otherwise, truly see their own actions as selfish??
