Bettina, I know exactly how you feel. I suffer from OCD, and thus terrible thougts or emotions are triggered in me because of what happens to others. For instance, my neighbor, David, often throws pinecones and sticks into goose nests. When I found this out, I spent the rest of my day being the mother goose, watching my eggs die right beside me. I could not escape the empathetic mindset. And for what it's worth, I now involentaraly weep for Jessica.
