Dear JP,
Thanks so much for taking the time to read the article. Your comments help me to see what is a comfort to one person is a terrible trigger to another. For me, “Wonderful Life” was about the deeper meaning of life and that success is not measured by material wealth. I too was rejected by family but did not see the movie the same way you did. Very enlightening. It’s hard to find a holiday movie that isn’t triggering. I was trying to suggest ways to find something benign. I guess the answer is take suggestions and run it through your own experience. What doesn’t work, toss out. Again, thanks.

And it pushes the pronatalist/ must be partnered agenda. For those childless or partnerless not by choice, the suggestion above is rot. It’s not your fault. You count just as much as George or this person want you to believe. It’s not 1939 – it’s a century past that world and life.

For those of us who moved endlessly in childhood, have no spouse, children or lifelong friends etc it tell us our life is meaningless. GARBAGE. That’s one outdated (in my opinion) existence, but there are a myriad of others. Our life has meaning even if we have no one in our corner.
