My nephew is breathing a lot better today, he's jaundiced and under a light currently, still in the incubator.

IfYoureHappyAndYouKnowIt · 31/08/2010 13:20

Ah good news Tea

Right so far today I am trying to be practical and kick myself into gear before work tomorrow. Last night I dreamt I was made redundant.

I have sorted school uniform, mended the dishwasher ( feeling good on this one as I was stuck thinking pay loads for an engineer, call XH or DIY and DIY worked!), booked vets for this eve (praying they will not charge, cat will probs need to go again tomorrow) and will now face the garden as bribing DS does not appear to have worked.

Sunny here today and hoping that the sun is shining for you all.

Patienceobtainsallthings · 31/08/2010 18:09

Sun is indeed shining here !
Tea glad little one is breathing better today x
Ok had interesting day as i heard from someone who had spoken to MIL and found out X has conned her good and proper.She even said I faked X breaking my door down "Anyone can kick in a door !"were her actual words ,he said he had found me a perfectly good house and i had turned it down ConfusedAll a big massive web of lies in his head and he is the victim in all of this according to his mother.All helps with that cord cutting ,i cant believe he has done this ,but makes moving on even easier .

IfYoureHappyAndYouKnowIt · 31/08/2010 18:47

Wtf Patience - bit of a history rewrite going on there methinks

startingovernow · 31/08/2010 19:20

Tea, so glad to log on here & read your good news. Hopefully he will now get stronger & be out of danger soon. Thinking of you & family (()).

Happy, you're sounding like superwoman with all you've tackled. I love doing diy, great satisfaction from doing something successfully yourself Smile. Tell the vet to give you a break for god sake!! Think dreaming about redundancy corresponds with unresolved inner conflict!

Patienceobtainsallthings · 31/08/2010 20:43

Thankyou ladies ,still havent smoked for 2 days nearly wobbled re MIL x

IfYoureHappyAndYouKnowIt · 31/08/2010 21:35

Hmm unresolved inner conflict. What can I do to resolve it? Will Google it and see Grin.

Glad to see you're staying off the fags Patience. I'm craving choc and house is empty!

Patienceobtainsallthings · 31/08/2010 21:48

Punch the couch ?or were you looking for a more intellectual answer.Think X is destined to be a victim in whatever drama triangle he can be in....... i am now not in triangle

IfYoureHappyAndYouKnowIt · 31/08/2010 21:51

Ah.

Let go of the past. What good is it hanging onto the past. It absolutely gets you nowhere. Your present ? your future is all being wasted whilst you continue to stay in your past. This includes your past beliefs, old habits and emotions. Find out the ?New? you! The new and wonderful, liberated you!

Believe in yourself. Realize that you are capable of breaking the chains that bind you! You can become the person you truly want to be!

Become No. 1. Learn to become focused and centred on yourself. Find out what stresses you out and why.

Forgive and Forget. Forgive others for any hurt they may have caused you in your past. You?re not blameless. You too have hurt others and would like others to forgive you ? right. Let go of any feelings of resentment you may harbour for others. It?s only you you?re hurting. Free yourself from those debilitating thoughts.

Visualizing the new you. See yourself as the person you always dreamed you could be. The more confident, happy and successful person you only envied in others. If you need to ?Fake it till you make it!?. It WILL manifest if you continue visualizing this.

IfYoureHappyAndYouKnowIt · 31/08/2010 21:52

Just punching couch now Grin

teaandcakeplease · 31/08/2010 22:01

Hopefully, just spoken to my twin brother 20 minutes ago. Baby still jaundiced, has a low blood sugar and hasn't pooed yet Sad My brother sounds about ready to crack. Nobody counts on their baby being 8 weeks early. They so weren't ready and he's finding it all so hard and worrying about his little boy so much. It sucks.

Patienceobtainsallthings · 31/08/2010 22:18

Thinking of you Tea and your family x

Patienceobtainsallthings · 31/08/2010 22:20

Happy you make me laff !But yes all about positive energies it def attracts positivity x

IfYoureHappyAndYouKnowIt · 31/08/2010 22:57

Oh Tea, hope baby pulls through ok

pinksmarties · 31/08/2010 23:13

I've got everything crossed for the baby (fingers etc).I'm sure he'll be fine, jaundice and not pooing yet is very common. He's a bank holiday baby......I'm sure that's lucky Smile.

Happy...if I punched my couch it would fill the house with dust.

Really struggling at the mo. I can let go of the past, it's the present I can't deal with.

Really need to find a way though, was thinking drastic thoughts today (moving far away) to get away from parents and other twats who live near. Wouldn't be brave enough though and couldn't do it to the DC.

Ive got to find a way to cope, most of the time I do and I can shrug it off and think fuck em all and then other times like today I'm crying so much in the car (often happens in the car, don't know why) that I can hardly see where I'm going and I just want to drive to the nearest mental hospital and be sedated.

H has gone, fuck off, bye bye, shit happens. I can deal with that, it's what men seem to do, it's in the past and I can move on.

Disloyalty and shit from parents though and tons of other shit surrounding them is what I can't deal with though but somehow I've got to find a way because it's eating me up and will end up destroying me and me losing my DC if I don't conquer it. I've tried so hard and been so proactive but the longer it all goes on with exh being well and truely supported by those who should be supporting me the more incredulous I become.

To the hundreds of people they surround themselves with, they are wonderful, saintly, pillars of the community but where it really counts ...they're just contemptable. There's nothing I can do to change the situation (sorry to be vague) so I need to change ME because I sometimes am in danger of pushing the self destruct button too hard. (I have a history of dabbling with that button).

Sorry to sound like a broken record and so down and dull, I suppose throughout my whole life I've never really felt heard and now when my parents are causing me so much pain and it is real pain I just want to do something which makes them think "shit, this is serious, we had no idea things were that bad". Thing is though, they wouldn't think that though, they'd be in denial that it was in anyway to do with them. That's how they've always been. They've never taken any reponsibility for the way they've behaved in the past and they never will. They feel they are the victims of unreasonable children and won't hear anything to the contrary.

Wish I could have a lobotomy, have it all wiped from my head and my thoughts. It feels like such an injustice and that's so hard to deal with.

Happy...I think i need to do some googly too.

Mumfun...thank you Smile

Maybe I'll go and watch BB now, that's the closest I come to a lobotomy.

Life can be so effing hard can't it.

Poor sods in Pakistan and other places,war torn coutries etc. That's real suffering, I constantly remind myself.

Maybe I should do some voluntary work.

Being sad and angry is EXHAUSTING isn't it.

Nite Smile x

Tomorow's another day (thank the Lord)

notfallingforhischARMBOW · 31/08/2010 23:55

pink (((((())))) sending you one mahoosive hug.

the situation with your parents sounds so hard. do you have close friends who are on your side???

startingovernow · 31/08/2010 23:55

Tea, hope you have better news soon, you'll all be in my prayers.

Pink, being sad & angry is v exhausting & v bad for your health. I know it's easier said then done but you'll need to take small steps to relieve those horrible feelings you're carrying. Did you ever try reading the book Toxic Parents?? When children, (regardless of age), are rejected by parents it causes huge hurt, anger, confusion etc. However from what you've posted you won't be able to change them so it comes back to yourself, it's you that will have to change to allow yourself be free of these emotions. You have prob been dealt one of the cruelest double blows possible but I know from your posts here you are a strong, kind, caring, loving, positive lady. You're a survivor, you will survive this too. Nurture yourself, be kind to yourself and be the parent to your dc's that your own parents are not able to be to you. There are lots of good books out there about issues with parents etc & they give practical advice on how to handle relationships/situations with parents. Another great book is "They F**k you up" by Oliver James. I have also found Anthony De Mello's book Awareness & any of Deepak Chopra's books to be good around stuff to do with forgiveness & letting go etc. Driving in the car is prob v close to meditating & can trigger deep emotional stuff beneath the surface. I've had many a good cry driving in the car on my own. Really hope some of that helps. ((Hugs))

tea - sending all my best best wishes for the baby xxxx

notfallingforhischARMBOW · 01/09/2010 00:09

hello everyone.....

i think perhaps maybe i am putting a bit too much pressure on myself, everything is going a bit fast in the opposite direction to what i was expecting.

eldest ds is really upset about his dad as well - he keeps crying, it breaks my heart. he cried when his dad left (when he spent time with them last). now if that was me and if i knew i was causing my child that much pain i would move heaven and earth to make the child happy again. even if that meant sacrificing the butterflies with some other bird.

startingovernow · 01/09/2010 00:13

Pink on another point a wise person once told me that it's the so called pillars of society or the seemingly saintly people sitting in the first pews in mass that you've to watch the most! They're usually the one's with the most to hide!

Fwiw many's a time in the past two yrs I fantasised about driving to the nearest mental hospital & asking to be sedated! I often thought how ironic it would have been if I had been the one who ended up there when xh is the one who is certifiable Grin

Keep the faith Smile. This too shall pass!
