I'm so sorry you have to deal with all this right now, Barb.

If you need anything, give me a call.

 

[JKanownik]

OMG! I'm so sorry. You should not have to be concerned with this right now. Where do you live in NE Ohio? Maybe I can take your DS to his picnic.

 

[doxdogy]

I am so sorry. If I lived near you, I would be there in a flash to take your DS to his picnic.

 

[Pembo]

Thanks JKanowik for the offer! Luckily my 17 yo niece gets out of school at 10:30 that day and lives about 5 mins from the park where the picnic is. So she & her boyfriend are going to meet him there. Her bf is taking his mom to work so he can have a car. What a concept, a little sacrifice and it's not even his family.

Dizneenut - You saw her! Your dh couldn't believe it was really my brother.

Whoa, I care a lot! I hope that they are just having a really hard time with this and are not REALLY that cold! You have gone above and beyond for them, and this is they way they help you out in your hour of need? I agree, they need to grow up a little, it's not like you have any say in what is happening to you. And how selfish not to help you with DS's picnic, that is just unforgivable. Your DS needs to keep things as normal as possible right now...oooohhhhhh......

I'll hold em down while you slap the snot out of em...

Please know that I am sending out a prayer for you to be back on your feet quickly, healthy, and happy.




Sounds like DBF is a winner!

Pembo, {{hugs}} to you. Family can sure disappoint us when we most need their support...

Take some deep breaths and try to let this go. You need to focus all your positive energy on yourself now. Don't dwell on THEIR attitude, but focus on those people that are being compassionate and kind with you.

Just remember to have someone update us on your progress.

Take care.

 

[JKanownik]

No problem. I'm just glad he is not going to miss it.

I'm sorry you couldn't make it to the DISmeet on Sunday. I hope you can come to the next one! Let me know if I can do anything to help! After all, we are neighbors!

 

[Pembo]

JK - where are you? I saw your picture from Towncriers! I'm sorry we had to miss it this year. Darn tumor. I live in Lorain County.

 

[Pooh Girl 71]

wow I am so sorry you have to deal with that. My IL's are all that way as well. Good luck with your surgery!

 

[ASFCurly]

I am so sorry, hugs

 

[TigerBear]

We don't just care a little - we care ALOT!! I'm so sorry your family isn't being more supportive. (((HUGS))), good thoughts, pixie dust, prayers, and anything else good I left out is coming your way! I hope your surgery goes well and I am happy someone is coming through for your son.

 

[Kallison]

That sucks -- I would tell them so. Prayers for your surgery.

Pembo,
It's so unfortunate this had to happen, but just let it go, ok? You are the type of giving person you are naturally, but unfortunately some people are too wrapped up in their own lives to take the time and effort to think about others' needs. They also sound like they are having trouble dealing with your diagnosis and upcoming surgery, so they are being distant with you. Their only method of coping, so to speak.

I'm so glad your DS has someone to take him to his picnic. Your niece and her BF sound like great people. See- one door closes and another one opens!

Best of luck with your surgery. I really believe all will go well as you are having this dealt with early before the tumor grows and starts causing pressure on delicate brain structures. The earlier, the better!

Looking foward to news when you are able to type again. I am going away this weekend but will check when I get back.

 

[JKanownik]

We are in Cuyahoga Falls and it is raining cats and dogs right now!

 

[Laura]

I just wanted to wish you luck with your surgery. Be selfish and just think about yourself for a while. It definitely sounds like you deserve it.

 

[Jockaroo]

Seems the most kind-hearted people leave themselves open to heart-break. It is so unfortunate. I am so sorry your brother and family are acting this way. I am sending you all my best and prayers to you and your family. Good luck with your surgery. Please know that strangers and your DIS family care about you.

God Bless.

I just hate that. Some people only come around when it's good for them or they want something.
My inlaws used to live two houses away from us, they never once called and asked if I needed anything from the store when I had surgery on my feet, and they used to drive by my house to go in and out of the development. My SIL also called me when she needed me to babysit in the summer so she could work, but not once they ever offered to take any of my kids . I don't do for them anymore, my inlaws passed away and my extended inlaws live three hours too close to me, I haven't talked to them or seen them since the parents passed, nor do I plan on seeing them either.
I'm sorry you have to go through this Pembo, I have friends here who care more than my dh's family do, I can count on my friend always as a backup in case I need her , and the same from me to her.
You have enough on your plate now, think of yourself first.
Best of luck to you my friend , and prayers going your way.

 

[soccerchick]

Of course you can slap them...just make sure it's really really hard!

God bless and take care! Sending prayers and PD your way right now!
