Excuse me I am losing my mind.......

by SheilaM in

or at least i feel that way.

my emotions are so close too the surface now, which is very disconcerting for me.

most of you know my son anthony is going in to the military in june<marines> but he is also graduating from high school <double whammy>.

I am trying to savor every single minute with them that I can

Cruzanheart: Please do, I was never told how fast time flies. <I guess with my parents didn't feel that way> I never realized how time flies, I swear you turn you head for one second and they've grown up

I guess there will come a time when we make peace with the past, and focus just on the future.

I try so hard to do this and sometimes feel as if I have then out of the blue I am a few steps further back. But I guess that will stop in time.

Just thank God everyday-that you can correct the errors you made on your kids...

Mouthy: No you aren't feeling sorry for yourself hun, I was You are right I should realize that and am sorry that you can't hug your babies. I will try to think of those things in the future and also when I post in the future. I am sorry if I made you feel bad.

It's like a loss.. but then, it's a good loss, because all kids have to grow up and make their own way in the world

CG: Thank you for the tips on the internet and I am so glad I gave my kids wings instead of clipping them.

To you all you have made me feel so much better, I had to wear my glasses to school cause I was crying my contacts out. I had no one when I went through this with my daughter, I am so thankful that I have you all and that you care enough to post and remind me of the good in the bleakest of time.

Love you guys

or at least I feel that way. My emotions are so close too the surface now, which is very disconcerting for me.

Most of you know my son Anthony is going in to the Military in June<Marines> but he is also graduating from High School <double whammy>. Yesterday we went to one of his last swim meets, I knew that they were going to reconginze the Senior boys and introduce the parents and Thunder Rider and I were there. The meet was going good and I was having a great time, then they called us to the end of the pool they called each boys name one by one then introduced the parents after that the coach read a small speech that each boy had written.

When it came to Anthony<the last wouldn't you know> he has been the team Captain this year, he hugged me presented me with carnations, then turned away. As they started to read what he said it hit me, I was there when he took his first swim. The first time he went off the board at the pool he was all of 15 months old and grinned all the time and I was the one that threw him in.Swimmin was OUR TIME , we spent every summer at the pool that was OUR time me, Melanie and Anthony. I was there his first summer swim meet when he was 7and his first High School swim meet and this is OUR last meet, the last time I get to cheer him on. It broke my heart, after the first tear it was all over for me I just bawled <and am bawling as I write this>

I just can't believe it, he was my Puddy Buddy. The one that always made me smile and laugh no matter how much I wanted to wring his scrawny neck. And now in less than five months he will be gone GONE. It just sucks. I know it could be worse, I know he is a great kid. But I also know that is heart is as crushed as mine, he couldn't even look at me during the ceremony...he stood staring at the water because I knew he would start crying too.

Everyone came to see him swim even the damn secretary of the HSchool everyone loves my boy for that I am thankful...I just wish I had some of the time back that I wasted worrying about a organization that SUCKS. I think of all the time, precious irreplaceable time that I gave an organization that didn't give a damn. I could have been spending it with my two kids and Thunder. Well, that is why I am losing my mind...does anyone blame me?

<of the bewildered class>

Are all women psychos?

by roybatty in

im not sure if i was married to a psycho or not and am wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience with their ex.

weve been divorced for 2-1/2 years and have had our ups and downs.

because shes a diehard jw and doesnt have grounds to get re-married i get an ear full from her blah...blah.. anyway, one minute shes like "its terrible that i have to wait for you to get married before i can" and then this past weekend she calls me to talk.

SheilaM

There are psycho women yes my Mother in law is one <evil evil evil> but just as there are psycho women there are pscho men. I tend to warn everyone if I have PMS my son sure doesn't tell me when he is having a hormone fluctuation

is this acceptable punishment for kids of JWS?

by phillipau in

i am not a jw myself but i am wondering if this is the proper punishment for kids of jws ?.

my 2 neices are aged 12 &10 their step dad and mother are practising jw,s and the step dad thinks this is acepptable punishment for these girls.

he pulls down their knickers and hits these girls with a belt untill there are welts on their backsides.

SheilaM

WRONG WRONG WRONG My father was a belt man but EVEN he never pulled my siblings pants down. I was the youngest usually hiding from the tirade. ABUSE needs to be stopped we have a case here in KC where two girls have been sexually and physically abused for years by a boyfriend of the Mother and EVERYONE KNEW but did nothing DFS<state side> KNEW BUT DID NOTHING.

I am too the breaking point we have had BABIES being killed by sexual and physical abuse EVERY DANG week and everyone just goes about as if nothing happened. I am a friggin pacifist and I am starting to think maybe if they blew some of these pervs crap away at the courthouse maybe the next perv would think twice ERRRRRRRRRR I am sick of kids being hurt sorry for the rant

PS I also have minimal hearing in my right ear do to a hardy slap as a child!!

There is a rat on this forum

by jesusstolemyhotrod in

jw

i think someone on this forum is a rat....or troll as i think they are called.. i am sitting at home last night watching fear factor, and there was a knock at the door.. i opened it to find two elders from my old hall.

they did not seem very sincere when they apologized for disturbing me without notice.. they said the purpose of there visit was to just to check up on me, find out if my circumstances or opinions had changed.

we ended up in a huge conversation about my "inactivity", they wanted to know if there was anything keeping or holding me back from the truth, and wanted to know if there was anything i needed to get of my chest, cause guilt has away of keeping people back.

SheilaM

Dang I have not been ratted on yet, maybe I could make an anonymouse call LOL <pun intended>

Really, Jesus there are trolls and "watchers" but they will get there due on their own. Enjoy the board tell the elders to go blip bleep ok
