If I place this in the wrong spot please forgive. My grandpa passed away from liver and stomach cancer last Sept. Last night I remembered a conversation that we had when I was @ 9 or 10. He lived at the base of a mountain and we were walking back up the lawn arm in arm talking as we went. Don't...
Thanks everyone for your input and just for being positive. I don't get alot of that and it actually feels good. I'm tired of feeling alone. I'm tired of not having any friends to be able to talk to. After my hubs arrest I definetly found out who my true friends and family were. Result: I have...
anthony,
Thanks for your input it hit home and I hear ya. I do want my life back. I am afraid of failure. Thanks to dear old dad failure is unacceptable. I wish I could express exactly what I think and not fudge it up.I am taking baby steps though I found the forum.
Nam, I realize I can't change the past. Believe me if there was a way to do over I would. I guess I just havent accepted them yet. Do you learn eventually to accept or to cope? I do have a good day once in a great while and take every advantage of them I can. I just can't remember the good...
Veiled, Sorry if I went overboard didn't mean to got caught up in the moment.
Somewhere inside I know I'm not weak. I've been told so many times. In some distorted way the stregnth that we feel we don't have actually is there we just don't see it. I know it and hear whats being said I just...
Who do I tell that I'm ready to get off this damn roller coaster???? Right now not doing too bad but can feel that the up hill climb is almost over. It's getting to the point that when the down hill side comes it comes even faster and harder than before. Don't want to do this anymore!! WHY...
from what I found out my self is that no matter how miniscule we feel our trama might be everyone is different and reacts to situations differently. I too felt it wasn't traumatic enough but it really was.
Jade
Was up late last night which in itself is unusual. With 3 kids ages 10,3,and 18 months I usually go to bed shortly after the kids go to sleep. Anyway I tried to lay down around 12:30AM. Don't know exactly what time I fell asleep but woke up this morning wishing there was a way not to dream...
My Last Hard Fall
About three weeks ago when my husband came home from work he had the look in his eyes that there was something that he wanted to tell me and he knew that I wasn't going to like it. He told me that his daughter wanted to meet him. This child is 15 months younger than our...
I recieved a referral for a psychiatrist today from my sons councelor at school. I know to get the ball rolling that I have to make the phone call but why does it have to be so damn hard? My primary doctor wants a full psychiatric evaluation and the crisis worker that I met with wants me to...
Anthony, I can understand your saying to read,read, and read but does there ever come a point when reading could in fact become more of a hinder than a help? Don't get me wrong reading is one of the few things that I can do and still find some enjoyment. Also is there a difference between...
I know that ideally I should be able to look to my husband for the support that I need from him but his past has become my past and he has also been a big contributor to my current situation. I am not ready yet to tell my "story" . I'm not even sure at this point if my own mind will let me.I...
