i'm still blown away by it.
when i went out the door this morning to take the kids to school (7:15 a.m.) i turned on my cell phone and there were two messages from his retirement home, both saying that he had fallen at about 4:30 a.m. and was being taken to the hospital.
i called the hospital and they told me that he said he had taken 18 xanax in an effort to kill himself.
Dear friend of mine, I am sooo sorry to hear this about your father. And to hear what the C.O. had the nerve, the audacity, to say ticks me off big time! The insensitivity! Argh!!! I really hope things get better for your dad and your mom. This is just awful!
((((((((((((((((HUGS))))))))))))))))))))))

i met her on another site, i won't say where but i just wanted everyone to say hi.. welcome anyavnclv.
Wow, I won't even try to figure out that handle. LOL Hi'ya Any......, I'm Jesika's aunt Lin. Welcome to the board!
just wondering about some of the profile pics...i think its nice to know a bit about the person you want us see, or the person you don't want us to see.
so what were you thinking when the pic was taken, how long ago, and where were you?
mine was taken last month, just after my 36th birthday.
Hi Beck,
My picture was taken last year in the fall. I had pictures taken at a couple different parks and my profile picture is my fiance's favorite one of me, so far. He says it shows my eyes better than the others, and it made him write to me on the Online Website where we "met". LOL See ya'll, online dating DOES work for some of us! The wedding is next May!
please bear with me through this, this could likely become lengthy.
i feel it's time for me to give you my story as a dub.
i was born and raised in an extremely "hardcore", strict witness home.
Thanks Carol and Dino. Carol, I'm so glad you registered on this site. As I've said in emails, this is an awesome place. I tell everyone about this site.
Dino, thank you. I know I recently posted that I will be putting my association here to the side and just concentrate on the wedding plans etc, but......Even though I may not post comments on alot of topics, I will still be here checking in and watching things unfold. I will continue to offer assistance to those on Silentlambs who need help, support or local contacts, encouragement etc. I will not disappear from here totally, I'll just be spending more of my energies right now on planning my wedding. Dino, please do keep me updated on your research, enquiring minds wanna know!!! LOL
something just occurred to me that i have never thought of before.
my husband and i are separated currently.
among other things, his anger management problems and rages and my control and emotional neglect and withdrawl issues were key factors.
Janiemh, I can relate. My daughter had to have emergency surgery last year for a severe knee infection she developed from contracting Gonorhea (sp?). My daughter was 16 at the time, rebellious, etc. After she was released from the hospital, she had an antibiotic IV in her arm for 6 weeks. Since I had to work, and she needed help with the IV, my mother allowed my daughter to go stay with her and my father for the first week, then my daughter would have learned how to change the IV solutions herself, etc. Anyway, the entire week my daughter was there at their house, my father acted as though my daughter wasn't even there. He never said one, single solitary word to her, didn't acknowledge when she said anything to him, she tried to hug him and he turned away. I didn't even know this was going on until she came home and told me, otherwise I would have brought her home right away and told my father to *&%# off! Whether this is something that comes from the org, I can only say that from my experience with my father and my family, it was something they learned from their involvement with the org. Now that the org has begun treating disassociated ones as if they are df'd, this will only increase. My daughter was never baptized, and my father had no good reason to completely avoid my daughter as though he hated her.
who was your favorite witness?.
mine was john richards.
when i got to know him, he was an old man, and our theocratic ministry school servant.
BigTex, I remember Lester too (and his wife with the weird wigs LOL)
My favorite witness would have to be Wanda Alexander. Such a sweet lady. She's the one I miss.
