Wow, gloria.  I'm sorry they're treating you this way.  It's unacceptable, greedy, selfish, immature, and awful.  

They sound like they have one HELL of a case of entitlement.  You don't owe ANY one of them an explanation for ANYTHING you choose to DO, what you buy, what internet sites you frequent, NOTHING.  They sound like they are happy to try to bully you and control you.  

Guess what, my dear lady...only YOU can allow people to treat you like they are.  You need to take a stand and set limits, and get tough if you have to.  Tell them it's absolutely NONE of their business how you live your life, as you're a gorwn-up and all.  That you can buy what you what for WHO you want, it's ZERO of their concern.  If they want to retaliate to you standing up for yourself by not allowing you to see a young child, that shows their maturity level, SHAME on them.  They're only hurting the child.

I know it hurts, and I'm sorry about that, but don't let them take advantage of you, and because they know you're lonely and depressed...they use that against you to extort you.  That's actually despicable.  Tell them that you love them, but they are treating you VERY poorly, and you won't stand for it.

Honestly, I don't know how you've put up with this nonsense for as long as you have.  I'll say it again...YOU have control over allowing others to treat you in a certain way.  Do not let this go on, not a minute longer.  You deserve SO much better than that.

We're here for you, and support yopu 100%.  I'm so sorry you're hurting.  You're a generous lady, it's so sad to see others take advantage of that.  Let them buy their OWM McAfee.  What have they done for YOU, love?  RIGHT, NOTHING.

BIG HUGS!  XOXO  (Don't you DARE stop coming here....don't tell them you do, hide your password...it's not right that they should even THINK it's ok to tell you what to do).

My thoughts are with you.

(Sorry for the harsh tone, but this angers me SOOOO much)

Hi, I have asked moderator, as you have too, to help me unblock messages sent to me.  I was unaware I had blocked anything.  So sorry about that.  I have sent you a note.

It does sound like your niece did help you a great deal at a time when you really needed it.  I'm not sure what it means that she took control, but would be interested, only if you feel that you can share that.  Feel free to write to me privately with anything that you want to.  If you're just around people, you will make friends.  Even though your neighbors need help themselves doesn't mean that you need to help them, unless you feel that you cannot keep "boundaries" with not helping them.  You could still have coffee with them.  You really need to get out of your house, or invite others to come to your house.  It's imperative that you aren't totally dependent on another family--your niece's.  But I think there is some good in that relationship at the same time.

If you are depressed, then you need to get treatment for that, because depression makes everything extremely difficult.  I really hope that you will.

Wishing you all the best, dear one.

yes my niece i call my daughter.  her mom doe not want her.  and her daughter.  was told she ism notm allowed at theirm house.  theyn dont like the wayn she dresses and she would not keep a job to help out.  her grandad told her off and said some things he should not have said.  that is his granddaughter. it is a long story.  anyway they live3d with me so i couldnt be included in my sisters plans because they were with me.  my niece came in when my mom died i did not want to live.  i was not eating taking care of myself or anything.  she made me go to the doctor and the doctor was surprised how bad i looked.  she drug me to the beauty shop got our hair fixed and went out to eat i was not going but she made me.  i think that is where she took control.  i did not want to go on without my daddy my husband and my mom. my sis never cared about me there was 6 years difference in our age i was always a little brat.  i was real shy an timid. my neighbors have either died or need help themselves or renters and dont stay around very long.  most of my best friends have died.  i feel really alone i dont make friends very easily.   gloria789

I hadn't put it together that your daughter and granddaughter were the same as your niece and grandniece.  Am I correct on that?  

It sounds like you would be best to try to meet new friends.  Just don't give them anything substantial materially so that you know that they are your true friend and not someone using you.

Use your money to pay for cab rides to get to senior citizen social events, or volunteering can be a way to meet people.  Or try to approach any neighbors to come over for coffee.  Some one else may have some good ideas for how you can meet new people.  There are a lot of lonely people out there who would love to be your friend.

I didn't follow why you would say that you are a bad person.  Could you go into that more so that we can address it for you, because you are definately a good person.

Also, not sure what you meant by, "scared my doc.  and basically she saved my life.  but there were a lot of strings attached i found out later after my meds kicked in."  Who had the strings attached--your doctor or your niece?  And what were the strings?  This might be something else that we can help you with.

You definately are a good person who has a past of having a husband and great friends to travel with.  To get along well with people traveling is a true test of friendship.  Would like for you to have more great experiences with new friends.  You deserve it.

Thanks for sharing so much with us.  We all care very much about you.
