The lifetime of abuse has got to stop
today. Verbal abuse has controlled every
aspect of my life. If I don't let them
go I will not be able to find my own
happiness. Every time I let them in
they are nice for a while then kick me
in the heart. My family is like the tv show
where the hyenia's eat the runt. I'm the
runt. I am caring for my father that is
brain damaged. I run into mother and sister
at hospital. They are only there because the
end is near for my father. They are there for
show. Sister is always around when money
is to be handed out. They are sheer evil.
I question why God made me a part of this
family.

Shar, hang in there! Right now, this is all about you and your dad. Your kind heart is obvious and people with a kind heart often get taken advantage of. At least with the last page is turned, you can continue to hold up your head with dignity.

Here is sending you a BIG hug and a bucket of support.

quote:

I question why God made me a part of this
family.

To show you how to follow your own heart.

Feel good in knowing you are living life on your own terms. If you need approval--I think you are doing the right thing.

Welcome!

Shar, concentrate on you and your father.You know their resons for being their.Let that be their problem.Know in yout heart why you are there and keep those thoughts with you and ignot all the rest.

Welcome Shar.
"Friends are God's way of making up for family."
Concentrate on what is valuable to you and leave the rest by the road with the trash.
You don't have to continue to play Charley Brown and Lucy with the football. You are grown now. If letting them in causes you pain and disappointment, don't set yourself up for it the way Charlie Brown does. Family drama only continues to follow you into adulthood if you allow it.

Shar, what can I say? It sounds like you are there because your father needs an advocate. Concentrate on him. it is not about the rest of the family right now. Easy to say, Hard to do, but breathe and give it a try.
