Disappointment Or Sadness

[Britt.f7]

Sad that my son and I seem to be butting heads when we really should be bonding together. He thinks he has to handle everything himself. I tell him he can talk to his dad or myself. Instead he is short with me. Had to tell him today that I am not the enemy. He says he is trying not to make it seem that way. Still he keeps it all bottled up. Been like this since he was a little boy. I should know by now. This is just his way of dealing with things. Still hard.

I am sad that I have been triggered and confused over a problem I have. I have decided to stay out of and not get involved. I will ignore this and stay away from a bad person in order to feel better. I have a fresh perspective now and am determined to do the right thing.

That my son may not do well if he goes to college since he can't seem to get to his high school courses. He was doing so well, now it seems like he is wrecking it on purpose. I wish I didn't get it, but I do. That was me. That is still a part of me. I wish to the depths of my heart it wasn't him.

I am so sad that I moved so far away from two abusers only to have them back in my daughter and the girls life. I am really disappointed over this.

I'm disappointed that my son takes school so lightly. I did the same, which is probably why it is so nerve wracking. You hope your child won't repeat the same mistakes you do, but, sometimes, they do. I just try to guide him, but it is hard getting a big football player to do anything. He is quite stubborn.

Most people got their graduation tickets for guests but my son didn't because of how poorly he is doing in one class. He has to get his grade up in order to graduate in a couple weeks. Hope the teacher decides soon so my son will know if he is graduating.

 

[Let It Be]

After talking with my brother yesterday, it so reminded me of our past conversations and how I gave up myself in order to be there for him and to listen to him. It finally got to the point where I could no longer keep it up. I look back and I cannot believe how I allowed him to do what he did. I thought I was doing what I was supposed to.

Yesterday, was such a vivid reminder of what I endured and I cannot lose myself to him again, as I have worked too hard to get me back from this very dysfunctional family!

Let It Be, good advice for me and I will follow your example with my sister as well. I think you have a really good attitude towards your brother. It is so much nonsense for you to put up with as well as me.

I have to agree Let it Be I had friends who did this to me and I just didn't recognise what was going on. It left me emotionally and physically drained and confused until I ended up confronting them and they decided to leave my life. I am so grateful they did as I have now found myself and am enjoying life.

There are still family members that are a bind but I keep them on my 'outer circle', see them only occasionally and prepare myself before seeing them.

it took me a long time to learn this lesson.

I'm not happy to be in medical debt again. I gave the bills to my husband who was suppose to take care of it, he forgot. Now they've gone to collectors. Definitely not good. I hate that this cloud is hanging over us.

I'm disappointed, that despite being on a strict low calorie diet, I have not lost any more weight. I did the first week. But the second and third have been stagnant. Very frustrating.

 

[The Albatross]

I am sad and disappointed that a client's biggest concern was the condition of the home and how long it had been since a niece suicided. " I think there hasn't been an interruption in the electricity to the refrigerator so it might still be good" really???? I know enough about people to know they have weird ways of thinking about stuff, but this was really f'cked up. Food in the 'fridge? When she blew her head off and wasn't found til the house got burglarized? Jesus.
