There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God I know I'm one
My mother was a tailor
She sewed my new blue jeans
My father was a gamblin' man
Down in New Orleans
Now the only thing a gambler needs
Is a suitcase and trunk
And the only time he's satisfied
Is when he's on a drunk
Oh mother tell your children
Not to do what I have done
Spend your lives in sin and misery
In the House of the Rising Sun
Well, I got one foot on the platform
The other foot on the train
I'm goin' back to New Orleans
To wear that ball and chain
Well, there is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God I know I'm one

Thanks for reminding me of Eric Burdon - great singer.
I've just been catching up on your posts - good sign that you're getting stroppy again.

Oh sweetheart! Reality is so subjective and we all see things differently, read differing things into the same situations.
Whatever else your reality is, remember that it contains a whole bunch of people here, who follow your words with interest and love, care for you very deeply and offer support as they can.
*hugs*
It will be alright one day, babe. Really it will. Trust me.
*nodding*
