talked to mom last night

[Guest guest]

keep praying for my mom she doesn't know the Lord yet but told me dad

had accepted before he passed away, it is still hard to believe he has

died, anyway she told me she got everything which she should they were

married for 64yrs, but he left me 100$ and she is going to send me a

registered letter so i can get it. i told her due to the distance and

the post office outlet isn't wheelchair acceptable she needs to reg.

it in my husband's name she is so worried that he will cash the cheque

but he never would do that to me. i am the one that takes his $ she

sent him 20$ for his birthday and i took it out of the envelop and

gave it too him when he went to the casio so he was able to enjoy it.

i was asking him what he wants me to do with the $ he told me i need

to spend it on myself but i want him to enjoy it also i don't think i

know how to spend $ on myself so i may just pay the hydro bill with it

then i won't have to worry about it the end of the month/ kim

i know what you mean about not being able to spend money on yourself. i am always thinking of the kids or my boyfriend first and when money comes my way i don't know what to do with it. i am sure you will think of something. evelynkim <kjoliver63a@...> wrote: keep praying for my mom she doesn't know the Lord yet but told me dad had accepted before he passed away, it is still hard to believe he has died, anyway she told me she got everything which she should they were married for

why is it that when we get an illness we think of others more than

ourselves, i really want to enjoy the $ but feel badly nowing even 100

$ would help wiht hte phone bill or hydro or even get some extra food

in the house but boy would it be nice to go get something for myself,

and i know dad would want me to enjoy it but how after all these years

of having to think of other people before ourselves. later k

Ditto here. I've gone to three stores recently intending to buy a

laptop (there are some good bargains available), but I just wasn't

able to do it. Last trip, I walked out of the computer store, walked

to the bookstore next door, and bought a book for my daughter instead.

Spending money on her, my wife, my family and friends... no problem.

But it's a struggle to spend even a couple of dollars on myself, much

less the price of a laptop (even a cheap one).

I'm curious: is this something common among those with chronic illness?

On the other hand, I've always been that way. The example of a

continually self-martyred mother, I suppose. (Don't get me wrong,

she's a wonderful person. She could be a bit more selfish, though.)
