"MY VOCAB PRACTICE."

1. The best way to avoid MISERY in relationships is to know your worth and never settle for less.

2. I am working so hard for my children so that they won't experience the MISERABLE life I had back in my younger years.

3. Ebenezer Scrooge of A Christmas Carol is a perfect example of a MISER, but like him, misers can always have a chance to change for the better.

4. The best kind of support you can give her at tough times like this is to COMMISERATE with her, and assure her that she's not alone in this.
