I completely understand this feeling. I've got to where when something goes wrong, I just say it did it, it's my fault. I know I'm to blame anyway. Thank you for sharing this contest entry with us. The rhyming scheme is very good and good luck with the contest.

I'm the same. No point in trying to show others their parts in it, as they won't admit to it, anyway.

Thanks for reviewing. "They" is mainly family.

You can't please all of the people all of the time and often when we speak home truths we are berated for it. If you are confident that your words are truthful then I would not worry too much about others blaming you, a poignant write Monica, love Dolly x
