Do you ever wish you could....

have a day without a crisis or mess of some sort?  Right now in our family of 5, with 2 living elsewhere we have 4 different crisis...car problems (daughter has no money to fix) sick daughter (too cheap to buy insurance) other daughter in a crisis with a male, my sociopathic stepson in California (37) continuing to ruin my life, my exwife and my wife fighting and I'm in the middle....and I'm still trying to deal with my son's death...

There is something every single day.

I dislike passing judgment on others, but here, I think you are being a little harsh? You certainly deserve love in your life. It is not deserved, but felt, and we all know we cannot control feelings!!

[PromisedLand]

yes, PF....you are correct.

My heart go's out to you , but is that different than most family's in America? We have way more than we can deal with at the moment. Your not the only one with problems so don't feel alone.

Hey, just wondering how you were doing. Let's re-define dumping as "exchanging grievances between acquaintances, so as we are not alone in what we go through." How does that sound? Either way, I would actually welcome your thoughts and expressions so that you know, if you cannot find an available ear/shoulder, you can always find one, right here. Counseling sounds like a capital idea, especially considering you are the one who is seeking it, and it is not being pushed on you. In many ways Jim, I envy how you are coping considering you are still placing one foot in front of the other, so to speak, as you go on about your days. If ever there is a great example of perseverance, I find that here, in you. I'm pretty new to this (medhelp), but I find it very helpful and encouraging. Perhaps knowing that you have a whole set of individuals from all walks of life willing to listen, and to provide feedback, is comforting in and of itself.

That is such a poignant and inspirational story.  Thank you so much for sharing it.  "I make my own weather."  I think that will be my motto from now on.  I hope I can always bear that statement in mind...thanks again.

Thanks, PF, yes, somehow I manage to do that and will continue to do so.  The only problem I have is getting in my truck and driving 30 miles to the office, but fortunately my boss says "with your job performance and reputatation, I don't give a darn where you work" so working at home has become a blessing.  things are calming down a bit, if I can get my wife to accept there is not a thing we can do about my stepson..at 37 he's not going to change, even if we want to spend thousands of dollars having him charged in GA with intentionally passing on an STD, assuming we could prove it...the important thing is my daughter and get back to remembering my late son.....


Thanks and love to you all.
