Thank you for your help in answering my burning question of the day: Is it wrong to complain? You are an insightful and wise group of ladies.
Yes, it is *fine, theraputic, necessary, normal, helpful* to complain at times. Just remember, one must complain to the proper sources to get the desired results: sympathy and compassion.
In otherwords, go to your girlfriends!
I'm glad to have that figured out now. I shared your advice with my extraordinarly sympathetic and compassionate husband, and he thanks you also.
