F*** me whenurhappy, that is an excellent post.
I guess it's a question of perspective. For all the Sh1te in the mob, there remains many huge positives - as those who have actually experienced civvy life can testify to.
And, as Thing says, if the Sh1te is overwhelming - get the **** out.
Stop worrying about the mess you might or might not be leaving behind - that's not your problem. Having a great life is your problem.
