[captaincrash]

Well Good afternoon everyone ...I know I havent been around much cause the MIL has been in town and they left for Frisco yesterday , and Today I got the News that my real Father past away ...We were never really close but I knew him in my teens and early 20's ...I hadnt spoke to him in 14 years cause we had a fallen out ...I wont be around much over the Next week , I am flying up to Buffalo for the service on Monday , hopefully I will be back tuesday or Wednesday. I need to go back for myself for closure , I'm not going back for him or relatives as I have not really talked to anyone in that time as well ....I have mixed feelings , but I think I have to say goodbye for myself ...Melissa or the kids never knew him ....If I sound like I am rambling im sorry , I have had a world of emotions over the last few hours , but I knew I could come here and at least escape it for a moment ....Thanks For listening ...

We are at a loss for words...

So we simply offer our respectful sympathy to you in this time of loss...

Ooops! Forgot - back there in the 1700's pages folks were posting photos of their families. So here is ours... This was taken at Christmas and is one of the few where DH and DS look reasonably natural - they both usually have totally fake smiles and look like they REALLY don't want to be there.

Ok - now I am REALLY giving up for tonight! G'night everyone.

Very nice looking family there Pamela!!!

You know, the more I talk to people I realize that the idea of a "normal" family without any kind of issue is really not the norm today.

I have learned over time that the Norm is to have dysfunction in the family. I manage to let go of my anger and get past most of my abuse. It make a long story short when my father told me his father held him by one arm out over the railing in a forest fire watch tower and threatened to drop him when he was just five everything he did to me fell into place. I realized the battle he must have fought aas a child and as an adult began to understand that he did his best.

He has mellowed over time and I can stay with him for about one week before I begin to revert to childhood mode. I understand and support those who have choosen to distance themself from family that are toxic. My father did the same with his family. His parents has since past but he doesn't even know where his sister is.

For me I still struggle to believe I am a worthwhile person. I was told that I was selfish, self-centered, fat and that no one would love me. I was told this so often that I believed it. I developed an eating disorder and refused to wear anything that looked good on me. Even though I was only about 10 to 15 lbs over weight I felt like I was 100lbs over weight. I allowed myself to be used as that was the only way I felt I could have friends. I'm 52 years old and still struggle with body image (now I'm at least 30 lbs overweight). I struggle with standing up for myself cause I sure don't want to make anyone in my life mad so that they willleave me. However that only makes it worse cause them the feeling surface later on and I can't control them. It is a daily process of recovery. One I wish both my parents had been able to reach.

However, through my recovery I see that what my parents did was what they thought would make me do better. They thought they were doing the right thing because they didn't have any better role models. I tried to do better with my kids and I hope they do better with theirs. This is just my story. I'm sure some of you can relate. Thanks for letting me share, Lois

Good Morning Everyone

Hope everyone has a great Sunday!

Getting ready to watch the Academy Awards tonite. I have seen a lot of the movies nominated and it seems like it is going to be a good show. Unfornunately for me is that I always fall asleep during the last 15 minutes, the most important part of the show!!!

I will start making and drinking my Eight O' Clock coffee early. I am sure a lot of people in NY, NJ and Ct know of this coffee.

Let the Oscars begin!!!

Good Morning Karen

Although I'm not a coffee drinker, I do remember seeing the Eight O'Clock coffee bags in the store when I would go food shopping with my mom. Funny thing is, I love the smell of coffee, I just can't stand the taste of it. I've tried drinking it from time to time, but can't get past the first sip. I make coffee for Angelina and that kid drinks it black, no sugar or cream for that kid, just like my mom. Hazel will drink coffee every now and then. Me, I'm a tea drinker, hot or cold, as long as it's tea, it's for me!!!!!!!!!

What a support group the people on this thread has become over the past few weeks. I thank each of you for your willingness to share your joys and your hurts, and have allowed me to do the same. It feels as though some healing has taken place from the past.

With all that I read before going to bed last night on this thread, I had a dream about my step-dad last night. I must say, for the first time of having dream about him since he passed last April, I didn't wake up in a cold sweat. It was though I said a final good-bye in my dream, and have decided to let the past be, life is way too short, to hold on to the hurts of the past any longer. For this, I thank each and everyone of you who have shared your life's trials and journey. You are an amazing lot, thank you!!!!!!!!!

 

[Grandma4ever]

Good night all. May we all appreciate and cherish the good that we have in our lives, remember the pain we have endured, grow and learn from it but not dwell on it.

AMEN. I try to remember that the goal is progress not perfection. Lois
