Before they lock it, I want you to know that you don't have to let this change your heart....
You are a wonderful loving human being, BFD.
I refuse to let my heart get hardened or jaded.
I love ya.
Amen Eclipse - I refuse to let this make me a hard person. More cautious yes!

for those who know a little about my past and my mother - she had the nerve to call me today and leave an urgent message for me to call her.
i thought it was about my dad or that something bad had happened since her last comment to me was that i was dead to her, or something to that effect.
Hey everyone,
I wasn't ignoring my thread or your responses. After my lovely evening with the hubby i didn't log on, but when I did I was consumed with the Trev/Linda fiasco, WTF????
But anyway - I have told my mom that if she can't speak to or see me without being rude and nasty not to call me or contact me. I've done my part by not contacting her, per her request. The only reason I did call her back is because she sounded as though there was an emergency - My dad is still alive but is sickly, she's not in the best of health and I have a son as well as other relatives that live in the same state. I live clear across the contry from them, so if there is something wrong I do want to know.
I don't want anyone to think that I'm upset or crying or heartbroken. She does find a way to get under my skin, but I'm 42 years old I've been out for 24 years and there is nothing that she can do or say that hasn't been done before. I basically have a place to vent these feelings now (JWD and you guys) so that's why I posted it. You never know if someone else is going thru or have been thru the same type of situation and it's nice to know that you are not alone. Maybe my way of handling my mother can help someone else or at least make that person know that they are not the crazy one (maybe).
So thanks for all your replies!

Yup, I think I'll keep him! I just keep telling him that if he ever see's any signs of my mother in me, to slap the $#^& out of me! (not really just a figure of speach)

She never ceases to amaze me! I talked to hubby and told him about it, his cure for everything mom does - let's go get Thai food tonight have a couple of drinks, kick the kids out and have wild crazy sex ! After 2 seconds of thinking "it's all about you" I said OK! sounds like a plan to me.
I love my hubby!
Thanks to you guys for listening to my vent and the hugs

dear friends,.
much of what we do on a daily basis is routine and of no particular, earth-shaking importance.
however, after reviewing letters of family going back to wwii, it is fascinating to read what dad was doing on board the aircraft carrier in the pacific on any old day, what mom was cooking on her ever-steaming range, how i was dealing with the roller coaster of emotion at bethel [mom saved all my letters], how nana wrote that she would not study with the witnesses [per my request] but 'here are some mittens i knitted for you when you canvass new york with your magazines.
Just take one thing at a time Emo - what doesn't get done today will be waiting for you tomorrow. hmm, not so sure that last comment made you feel any better, sorry
(((((((((((((((emo)))))))))))))) I'll have a drink for you too on Saturday - at this rate the hubby will have to pour me into the bed when I get home

some days its so far in my past, i can hardly recall it.
this morning it was very close.
i can go along for months, sometimes years and not think about it.
Purps,
I had no idea. This made me cry - I've never experienced this and could not even possibly say what I would or wouldn't do in that situation. I respect you and admire you for getting you and your children out of that. Continue to be a strong woman you children no matter how old learn by example, you did the right thing.
NO wonder XXXXX beats you, you are hard to live with.
And this from your mother I can only imagine how much that must have hurt!

i had a dream that woke me from my sleep.
i was with my husband at a beautiful hotel, somewhere by a beach.
we were at check in and i noticed how everything had this maddening order.
((((((((((((((((((((((4mylove)))))))))))))))))
I've used my employee assistance program in the past. Take advantage of it.

i know where some of your minds went with this topic name but ... just in time for all the horror movies and halloween scares ..... .
woman in shock after 7-foot python peeps through her toiletthursday october 18, 2007 this sounds like a made-up story just in time for halloween.
but everyone's nightmare really happened to a new york city woman and she's still struggling to get over it.
And to think I almost had a heart attack when my lab dropped 2 baby moles in my toilet!!!!! Poor woman, I think I'd have to move and I'd never feel comfortable sitting on the toilet again!
