See, I told you I don't keep up with politics. I had no idea that all of those other politicians/presidents cried. I would have reacted the same way to them; talking to the tv and asking them how they are going to protect us, defend us, and send people off to war if when the going gets tough, they sit there and cry.

Of course, that's exactly what my ex drilled into my head about crying. Like I've said before, he wouldn't allow me to cry about my mother's death. So he trained me on the 'rules' of crying. Now that I think of that fact, my way of viewing someone crying were taught to me by what I believe to be a narcissist (among other things). Therefore my way of thinking regarding crying is probably all screwed up! I'm trying to learn what aspects of myself need to be 'reprogrammed'. This might just be one of them.
