Unreasonably upset about my mum's reading.....

Quadrophenia · 18/03/2008 14:15

Gawd, i can't belive I'm in tears, not really sure why. Just spoken to my mum, she had a reading from a medium today, all very accurate both her mother and father came through which i believe will help her with some issues she has from her past. I am really happy about this for her, it is something which has plagued her for years and I believe this is the beginning of healing for her. So why am I so selfishly upset about myself? Mym relayed to me information about my brother and sister given to her by the medium and when I asked about me, whilst I was acknowledged as being in existence that was it. I definately suffer from middle child syndrome anyway, both my sister and brother have varying degrees of sucess whilst I am plodding along in my life not knowing which way to turn. It just feels like the complete lack of reference to me hits a nerve and I know I'm reading more into it than I should, I really don't knw why I'm so fucking upset. I just wonder if things were said about me that my mum doesn't want to repeat like my future is horrid or something. I'm being stupid aren't I? grrr at myself, stupid rant over.

You are not being stupid wrt middle child syndrome. But you shouldn't worry too much about the bloody medium. Load of codswallop.

Oh poor you . If it's upset you, you aren't being stupid.

Maybe the universe is trying to tell you that burying these feelings isn't doing you any good, and you need to deal with them. You've been presented you with a situation where these feelings jump up and hit you in the face so you take some action.

My pleasure . Glad you understood and didn't think it was strange advice!

Sorry you feel like this.

I personally believe they they come through as and when you need it.

Have you been told/or feel you are more spiritual then your siblings?? DO you really need to hear from some medium that they are here for you??

Sometimes I have things happen and I'm like "yeah yeah thanks for letting me know your here" whereas recently my mum and sister had loads of things happening and I told them just to acknowledge that they were there. Instead they went to a medium who I know is very good. They both got wonderful readings and all of the strange things have since stopped but I think it's a shame they had to pay £40 to believe it.

Basically what I am trying to say is regardless of your siblings success.....they dont care about that. If your spirit is strong.....you will not need the interaction of a medium like your siblings might.

I am a very spiritual person and do sense I am watched over, I think I've been having a rough ride recently and just hoped there would be something positive about me in the reading. I feel better about it today, am still amazed at just how much it upset me though, it just hit a nerve i had forgotten about which i do think i need to deal with.

If you're spiritual you could tune in yourself, rather than receive your guidance via someone else. Maybe they wanted to push you in that area too.

Not sure how i would do that surfermum, it sounds bizarre but in my head I kind of talk to the spirits alot, kind of like praying i suppose 9makes me sound dotty doesn't it) but I don't feel like i ever get any guidance back. Was once told by a medium when i was 18 that I am very receptive, it just doesn't feel like it That said I have a huge belief which does give me an enormous amount of comfort.

Doesn't sound dotty at all . I was told the same thing and thought Ok ....... so what do I do now?!! But now I've figured it out I talk to my guides and angels all the time. Doreen Virtue's book How to Talk to Your Angels is really good.

Do you ever get buzzing in your ears?

I know what you mean about the belief. Now I've found something to believe in it feels very comforting and safe. So far I've not failed to benefit from my guidance.

Quad - why don't you go for your own reading? Might help to lift the fog, and if that one your mum went to sounded good, might be worth a go?

I can't honestly say I have ever noticed a buzzing in my ears Surfermum, but I do definately feel a presence.

I have known about spirit guides since I was a young child. One christmas I over heard an adult conversation where my cousin and aunt were talking about a man in a trench coat and trilby hat who used to appear to them. My cousin said it first happened when she was small and playing upstairs and she just thought a very tall man had walked passed her window. I asked her about it in my teens and she was so matter of fact about it I knew it had to be true. It has always given me the most enormous amount of comfort.

My mum has offered to pay for a reading with this lady, i may take her up on the offer, I know that already it has helped my mum considerably.

Thanks for the responses its comforting to talk about these things with people who don't thinnk you're a wally

Dont get upset if they dont mention the tough times though.

Spirits always come out with the most unexpected thing and never talk about what you would like them to.

Quick example and related to why I think you might be more spiritual and didn't get a message.

When I was pregnant with DD2, I nearly lost her. My Nan who I was really close to was in hospital very ill. I went for a scan and found out DD had lost an arm. We chose not to tell my nan as she was a worrier and was faced with the prospect of having her legs amputated. Anyway she died 4 weeks before DD arrived never knowing about her arm. When I my mum and sister had strange things happening, I arranged for us to see this medium. nan came through and spoke about my studies but never mentioned DD or the fact that I am expecting again. However she did acknowledge my sisters child who is 10 months younger than DD.

I was fairly upset but explained to my mum that they needed to hear what they did. Anyway over the next few days I had stupid things happening. Like I would turn a light out and when I came back it was on. At first I assumed I was forgetful (Im alway skeptical about myself) but it continued and happened constantly. Finally after DD's 2nd birthday party I was cleaning up plates and stacked them up in the kitchen. I left the room and when I came back they were unstacked. I just said Thank you....you are saying happy birthday to my DD and everything stopped.

Incidently when DD was actually born a woman in the waiting room told me that an old lady had been with her asking how I was doing and telling her her great grandchild was being born!!!!

wow horseshoe, that is an amzing story thank you for sharing that with me

I'm still undecided about having a hearing, i think I'm going to buy the book recommended by surfermum first and just see how i feel.
