difficult times worsen for shunned father.
***dying teen leaves canada for treatment***
the father of a teenaged leukemia patient who fought against blood transfusions for religious reasons is upset that his wife has taken their daughter out of the country to a secret location where she'll begin alternative treatments.. .
Just when one thought it couldn't get worse - this happens. That poor man. Those evil bastards at the WTS. ANd that mother. I'd like to have five minutes in a room with that one. As if a miracle cure can be found now.
I hope kidnapping charges can be laid. This is completely evil. Beyond horrible. It's scary what that lot is capable of.

my oldest daughter, beth, had her second episode yesterday and i'm now officially worried and am looking for someone in the medical community or someone who recognizes these symptoms.. her very first seizure was a febrile seizure, due to a high temp when she was a year old.
i doubt this has anything to do with the present stuff.. a few months ago, she fainted at work and seizured on the stairs, was taken by ambulance to the er.
she came home looking beat up from banging her head on the stairs, with a mild concussion.. yesterday, when she went to get on the bus, she felt it coming on again, and while she was able to somehow ward of the 'seizure', she blacked out before she could pay her fare.
As an update, Beth's bloodwork (quite extensive) has come back normal. She hasn't had any more of these episodes to date, but will still see a neurologist. She's eating better now, which is an improvment. Now if only I could get her to stop smoking...... oh well.
Thank you all for your caring and ideas.
hugs, Mimilly
i have felt drawn back to the place i was born for the last year or two.
i would be interested if others feel a connection w the area where they were born or grew up.
is it home??
LadyLee - I also moved a great deal due to my father being a salesman with Simmons Mattresses Company. I was born in Montreal, Quebec. It was there that I watched my brother, Craig, get dragged and run over by a streetcleaner whose driver was hung over. My brother is buried on Mont Royal. We moved to Calgary within a year after that happened for a year, and then to Nova Scotia. I don't feel as though I am from anywhere. Both of my parents are from a seaside town in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia and my wonderful Grandparents lived there (my mom's parents). My mom now lives in the family home, just down the street from the ocean. It was the only place I had a bit of peace in an otherwise abusive childhood. I knew death at an early age, and while still young, my favorite aunts died, my grandparents - everyone but my father, who I would gladly give to have them back.
I travel to Montreal from time to time to visit my brother's grave. It's very peaceful there. I feel an attachment to Montreal because of him. He lives on in my heart. During one trip, we were driving in one of the areas in which we lived in (but I didn't consciously recognize) and we came to a cul-de-sac and it felt like my heart and the universe disolved. A horrible feeling. Then mom told me that is where Craig died. Something in me 'knew'. I don't visit THAT place - but where he is at rest. The other place I adore is where my mom is now, in the family home. So many good memories of loved ones long gone, but not forgotten. I ache to go there now. It is one of those places without industry, but one of the most beautiful places on earth (cabot trail). Since I didn't grow up a witness, my christmases there were amazing, with my cousin Jocelyn and I being two peas in a pod. We don't talk anymore, and I miss her.
I am always in envy of people who can sit and say "you remember so-and-so? he's related to...blah blah blah....?" That's community, where people knew people. I grew up isolated, and very alone.
Now I try to make my home where ever I'm at - but to visit THE family home, mom's place, definitely feels like going home because of my grandparents and memories of many aunts and cousins. (the ocean down the street doesn't hurt)
I'm babbling. I guess this struck a chord in me. Sorry. But thanks for listening.

perhaps i'm just a bit paranoid..but i get the feeling that there are a few posters that actually hate me (before its assumed--no i'm talking about lack of responses to my threads.. and no i am not talking about a disagreement of opinion) i am talking about a few posters that come across to me as very hateful in their responses.. and yes i know that not everyone here will like me (even though i'm so darn sweet and cute...lol) but it is an intense animosity vibe that i get and can't seem to shake.. maybe i am mistaken and maybe its just me..... but if there is anyone out there that does dislike me that much---i am curious as to why---only because i try to learn and grow everyday and your input would be especially valuable and probably essential to that -growth.. so whats the verdict---do you love me, hate me or just not care either way?.
sincerely yours,.
ps--this is in no way an ego thing--i really want to know!
Spice honey - I love you. You have an incredibly sweet heart and a powerful way with words when you express yourself. (as in the poem in another section) You are a very sensitive person, and I certainly can relate to the hesitations in wondering if others like you or not. Don't give anyone that power sweety. You are a treasure. I'm glad you started this thread so that those negative thoughts/feelings could be proven wrong - and next time they start playing in your heart or head - remember that feelings aren't always facts. You ARE a treasure.
Rosalyn - Welcome to the board! A lot of people here wonder if the length of the threads they begin have a reflection on them - but it doesn't. If you look at the number of people who actually 'look' at your thread - you'll see that it is higher than the actual replies to every thread. There are some threads here I haven't been able to reply to because they break my heart and when I go to type, it all goes blank. How does one type tears? (one of the subjects is Samantha Runnion) I also compete with computer time in my home, and there are many many reasons, but basically it is human nature to reply to the thread that strikes home to you, or that interests you at that moment and that you have the heart and facts to reply to. Rosalyn hon, feel free to email me.
great big hugs to you Spice - my email is always open to ya love. I think we've alot in common.

to read my father's (my abuser) letter:.
click on link: a letter from my molester .
(((((((((((((Donald and Partner))))))))))))))
I read that incredibly weird letter. His rationalization and blaming were bizarre at best. I'm so happy for you that you were able to summon the strength to write this book - I will definitely read it. As I read that letter, it reminded me of my father, in the rationalizing and blaming, but that's what they do - isn't it..
It is considerably difficult for one to put their darkest secrets out for the public to see, and yet, you will help SO many people by your strength and tenacity in hanging in there. I wish I could reach out and hug you - heck, I wish I could take away all the horror that you have been through. I know what that horror is like, and how hard it is to summon the strength to live through one more day.
As Canadian law goes, I suffered from a hand's off policy. It was all put under 'domestic situation', and they did nothing. Had my father done those things today - he would have paid dearly.
I wish you a contented life Donald. An inner peace that you deserve to have. Although I do not 'know' you, I am very proud of your achievement, on all levels. Take care in knowing that you have much support here.
hugs and love,
Mimilly
i don't know if this has been addressed before, but i was just wondering...can elders be reported to the police for stalking their members?
i know you can report anything you like, but would it be taken seriously?
you know, the stake-outs to see who's committing immorality, or waiting in your driveway till you get home to corner you about something, or even just showing up on your doorstep unannounced to ask it you still believe it's "the truth.".
I was victim of 1, 2 and 3. I wish I had known then that I could've gone to the police, because I would have. The elders followed me on my EMT course - a three hour drive away, and stayed in the same hotel I did. (I had my own room - unlike the other students who were paired up).
When I look back now, there are so many areas where I could have nailed their proverbial asses to the wall - if only, if only , if only.

i was gonna post this in art & literature but i didnt think it would get read as much...so here goes yet another poem by me...... "ode of the mentally disturbed".
challenge me!.
o' perfectly harmonized one.
Spice - I really like that. There's alot of profound emotion coming from those words. Thanks for sharing that. I can relate.
hugs,
Mimilly

an arrest was made in the murder of this little girl.
the man arrested was charged with child molestation in 2000, but never convicted.
For the safety of other children, I hope this is the monster. His story about scratches on his legs from a toddler's gate seems odd. According to the police, whoever did this horrible thing left plenty of evidence, so it shouldn't be long in figuring out if this is him or not.
If it is - hang him up like a pinata in the town square where little Samantha was from and let the parents and family take turns hitting him with blunt objects until the scum dies.

yup, it's true, but these 2 americans are very welcome, because they have flown all the way from the usa just to come to my barbie!.
now i'm not going to say who they are, it would be just 2 easy to do that, but they are certainly a joy 2 be with!!!.
anyway, they have booked into a b & b next door, and will shortly be joining her ladyship and myself for a trip to the pub.. so all you uk'ers who are arriving for the barbie this sunday, you have been beaten to it by the us of a!.
Hey there Eman - I'm with TheStar on this one. I'm there in spirit. (if you hear giggles coming out of nowhere - that's me.) And yes, tell Joy I miss her tons.
hugs to you all,
Mimilly
i've noticed many new ones to our lil community here and have been unable to welcome you all personally.
there is a great variety of people here and loads of information and support.
feel free to vent!
Grits - Actually, I am on a pillow in that pic. It was taken just after my oldest daughter came home from having emergency surgery for an ectopic pregnancy. I had friends bugging me for a pic, so I took a pic here and there and then finally, laid on her bed set up upstairs so she'd be on the same floor as the bathroom and it worked nicely. I was extremely tired - went for five days without sleep looking after her and this pic was I think two days after she came home. I slapped on some make-up and snapped away. I think I fell asleep after that. LOL. It was this past April.
And yes, post your idea cos I think it would be an excellent addition to the site.
hugs, Mimilly
