This is another example of how loving, caring, non- personality disordered people act. Of course there would be some envy, this is what we never had with nada! Hopefully, we will all find this in our lives coming from other people who care for us.

Guest guest Posted December 11, 2004 Report Share Posted December 11, 2004 I feel like this too when I go to funerals in my husband's family. With his parents being in their 80's and several great great aunts and uncles being in their 90's we have unfortunately had to attend a number of these over the past few years. I look around in amazement and envy at the literally hundreds of people who show up from all over the country. His family is so close and they are such nice people. When my father died only a few people showed up not even enough to fill up a couple of rows. My mother had alienated all family on both sides and all their friends over the years until we were in touch with just two or three members of either family. Not many ever realized there was anything wrong with her all just thought her a " witch " that no one wanted to spend time with. The other thing is that she kept us apart by saying how evil everyone was. She would fight with people just to keep them far away from us. No one was ever good enough for her.

Guest guest Posted December 12, 2004 Report Share Posted December 12, 2004 Hi Thanks for the validation. It boggles my mind when I read these posts from another KO and think that's my story, I could have written that. Life is too short, it's a shame we have to deal with this, it just sucks the enjoyment out of everything. cntbreathe > I feel like this too when I go to funerals in my husband's family.
