  after leaving chat last night, i was in bed snuggled next to thunderrider thinking.

  one of the group had been doing blurbs of kingdom songs, i don't remember any songs, or any scriptures or hardly any names of the books, i don't remember quotes from the stage or comments made by others.

  have any of you ever felt this way?

  dear everyone, my dad died suddenly and unexpectedly at the weekend.he did'nt turn up for a family dinner and my husband and i went to see if he was ok.he was dead.collapsed in his home.i can't stop shaking and i feel really sick.i've lost my mum and now my dad too.i wish i could sleep for months and wake when the pain has finished with me.

  it hurts so much .sorry to bring everyone down-but i'm stressed at having to sort out his arrangements due to the autopsy and funeral etc and the house and my feelings.

  ; i just wanted to tell you all as my husband's gone for a walk and the children are asleep and i'm feeling scared about viewing his body, but i know i'll have to and i feel guilty for feeling like that.stupid thoughts racing through my mind at the moment-need to 'hear' a friendly voice .

  while we were in hawaii, we learned of another death in our extended family.

  our niece, my brother's daughter, had a stepson who died unexpectedly on january 1. such a tragedy.

  he was a well known musician, in our area, so it made the newspaper here.

  this is really bothering me, and i have a need to vent.

  is it normal for grandparents to not take an active interest in their grandchildren?

  my mother is still a dub, and i faded away about seven years ago.

  My Mother didn't particularly like children, but she liked babies. So, while she kept on having babies, and liked them til they were two, she'd pass em on to me to raise afterwards.

  Country Girl:

  I was shocked when you said this, my hubbies Mother was exactly the SAME he had 11 brothers and sisters and raised them all I had never seen a Mother just act like a child didn't exist after the age of two. I never heard anyone else express it that way. I'm sure he'd love to compare experiences and share some baggage with you.

  Yellow:

  My husbands parents are the worst Grandparents ever and are dubs, I won't horrify you with the details. Suffice to say we have not seen or spoke to them in over ten years.

  What I want you to know it my Father has never been a dub and is unbelievable, he has grandchildren and great grandchildren, he is SO into control he will scream at the kids if they don't eat what is on their plate or if they eat it in a way he doesn't. I always thought I loved my Dad but you know there is a fine line between hate and love and I was so damn scared of him I mistook the two. I thought if I love him enough, if I'm perfect enough...

  You KNOW what HE IS AN ASSHOLE he has never attended a graduation etc. Even my step-mother who claims to love kids hasn't seen my step brother daughter since she was an infant and she is now 4.

  You didn't have your kids too close together (I in fact like a two year age gap to me three is too much)You are right to want to spend time with your wife(kids leave wives don't) You are wrong in thinking that A) her ways are due to dub ways B) That you can change her C) That she cares that she is hurting you. What you need to do is do what I did I found role models for my children in neighbors and teachers and I quit expecting my Father's eyes to open and see the light. Does it hurt me that he blew off my daughters graduation in 2001 yep (ever the hopeful one) does it hurt me that he won't come to my son's ya. What really gets my goat is that he has NEVER even acknowledged my granddaughters birth no card, no call no kiss my ass or nothin! But I don't let him know that it hurts me, I no longer call or go down there because I spent over 30+ years panting for his approval. He is the ass not me and he will die and miss all the fun and joy that children can bring.

  Find someone that will care and love your children they are out there and remember it is your Mother's problem and people like her and my Father and my inlaws is what makes my hubby and I DAMN good grandparents because we chose the right path and they choose the selfish one.

  Realist:

  I would say the dog was doing anything but running!!! Did you see the video? The dog was not charging did not have ears back, tail was wagging no fur standing up, no growling. Do so few people know so little about animals??? I just wonder what would be said if it had been someone instead of a family dog, this dog was bought for a 16th birthday anyone recall how SPECIAL that is??? Does anyone care about the families FEELINGS GEESH
