i have to get this off my chest...

I am really peeved at my parents... back in December when I lost my 2nd baby, my mom wanted to come down here but they couldn't make it because of my dad's job but my mom said they would come during the summer sometime... then has the months went by my mom hinted that they would probably not be able to come because of money issues... but then she is always telling me things, like how she let my dad buy himself a motorbike with the last of his mom's money... and then recently she told me that they bought a another car and that they are probably gong to rent a cabin for a week later in the summer or something... It makes me feel very unimportant to them...

I really needed to see my parents... I can't afford to go up to Canada right now ...

I just feel all alone most of the time here.....

Awwwwww Marilyn. I'm sorry you're feeling so alone. Have you talked to your Mom about this? I mean...saying on the phone...Mom, I miss you guys so much...I would really, really love to see you. I feel so alone sometimes. Or how about saying...you know, I thought about you guys renting a cabin this summer, is there anyway you could drive down here instead? I miss you and love you and want to see you.

Could your Mom come on her own? Less expensive than both of them coming down. I think it's a good idea Marilyn to say what you feel to your parents. Don't keep it bottled up. Having a good cry is a good idea as well.

We love you!

I don't think my mom would even consider coming by herself.... not sure why but that is just how my mom is.. but then come to think of it I am probably like that too.. I wouldn't want to go if my hubby couldn't go...

yeah my therapist said I should let her know how I feel... I did ask her once if they were coming and she said she didn't think so because of lack of money...

[Emancipation 2]

So the agent representing our Landlord showed up last night, apparently the toilet upstairs wasn't sealed with a wax ring, so the toilet from the upstairs unit was leaking through the ceiling.. DISGUSTING.....

Anyway, they fixed the toilet upstairs last night and asked us to keep our windows open for a few days so the ceiling could dry I most certainly hope they are going to repair the drywall..

That just sucks Marilyn, I hear the same things from my parents and then they turn around and buy some big expensive stuff. I know my mom wouldn't come down either withought my dad, but could it be that your mom isn't telling your father just how much you need them now. My mother tends to down play things to my father and not tell him all so woundering if you spoke to your dad if it would help.

Not good E not good I hope they do more then telll you to open a window too.

[Marilyn. 340]

see the thing is I am way closer with my dad so I am sure he would be the first one to say, "hey, we should go visit Marilyn"... but my mom is good at talking my dad out of things...

[Ontarkie 14,133]

Dang sometimes moms just need a kick in the pants.

Women are evil!!!

[SpiritAlight 1]

WOW.

I just read back only a couple of pages.

Forgive my self-diagnosed A.D.D. and remembering who has which problem, and what I wanted to say is this:

Sweet Liz, do not fret.

You are simply going through only what is known as a huge transition and emotional waterfalls. Ha...I just had a visual of that.

What I am trying to say is that it is prefectly normal to be freaking out about everything at this moment in your life.

Remember to take time outs and go somewhere you feel safe (a scenic park or something) and breathe.

Bring bubbles.

For *Marylin*:

You mom is probably struggling with a truck load of issues/problems as well.

We sometimes forget that they are not super heroes.

What I mean by that, is i am certain she would be by your side in a flash if she could park all of her stuff.

You know?

And you, wow, you have been through so much.

I hope you have a good girl friend near by....and you also have us. (big hug)

Emancipation: that just sux big time. grrrrrrr...I hate this kinda #######.

KarenCee and the school system crapola....hmmmmm...yes home schooling is the only way to really bring up children.

Too bad not everyone can afford and/or have the skills and will to do this.

Public school systems are set up to domesticate the human spirit and prep them to be a cog in corporations.

The try and are mostly successful in curbing/killing any human creativity and and and....aaarrrr.

I had to stop as my blood started to boil.

Oops.

Hmmm who else...oh yeah about the medical system:

Dear Kathryn,

I recently saw the movie Sicko.And i hear stories from people here all the time.

Enough said.

And ATeam....I hope you keep fighting them.

They are whacked.

And Len, I love the way you approach things.

Very healthy.

As for yours truly:

Well after losing my FIL to cancer in early May (and having been by his death bed for 6 weeks in FLA), my honey's 12 year-old golden retriever has been diagnosed with cancer and is fading.

There is too much sadness and troubling news in our world....mostly for him, and also for me as I am an HSP (Highly Sensitive Person).

It seems each week brings some news that brings him down and I believe he has not had a lot of trouble/problems in his life and this kind of stuff, the magnitude of it is too much for one person to bear in such a short time.

We may be going out to the farm where "puppy wuppy" is being doggie sat to put him to rest this weekend.

We were supposed to be picking him back up.

At least he has had great fun swimming and playing with other doggies last week.

sigh....

that's my problem.. I don't have any good girlfriends near by

I felt like I had to handle a lot of this stuff on my own.. I had no one to call up and say hey can you come over? ..

back in December I was in the hospital for a week and no one really came to visit me.. I would spend all day by myself.. and the stupid TV only had a few channels.. I was bored out of my mind... hubby would come after work but he would be so tired so he wasn't much company.... if I was back in Canada, I know someone would have been there every day ....

waaah, ignore me I am having a pity party

Nah....we all have them - pity parties that is. In fact, I'm having my own at the moment.

I do know that feeling. When I was in the hospital for a week (really bad asthma attack) no one but hubby and our daughter came to see me. Not even the girls I work with called or visited. It stinks having NO family here and the closest family 2600 miles away AND in Canada to boot!

I haven't any close by friends either...which is prolly why I hang out here so darn much... There are days when I wish we all lived really close by (a Canadian VJ Commune ) so we could be there for each other, yanno? But as long as I have you guys...

I was wishing I had a laptop that week... I didn't even have you guys to keep me company

see his family all lives fairly close... his one brother and GF and the boys came one day but it was the same day i was admitted and I wasn't a happy camper or in a visiting mood...

but the whole rest of the week none of his family came...
