RE: Serious question . . .

[Guest guest]

Y'all are scaring me with effects of meds. Should I tell them to leave me

alone?

I have no idea what the docs will tell me to take. Still a mystery. When I

find out, I'll go to my list I've kept and see if I want to be Jekyll or

Hyde.

Re: Serious question . . .

Good luck with your treatment! I never took the Riba, it was before my time,

but has...and it doesn't play around!

Re: Serious question . . .

My son is 18 and he talks back to be and is disrespectful all the time. He

has an attitude. I keep trying to tell him that I have cirrhosis now, and

especially when I start treatment in a couple of weeks, he better not talk

to me like that or he might set off my riba rage (from the ribivirin). I

can't believe there are so many Millennial kids who act that way. My two

other son are Generation Xers and they don't act that way. They never did.

right Im mean and getting meaner. Now get your daughter and her

things and get out of my house!

I know its family and you want to please but they are using you and

there is NO EXCUSE for their behavior. My youngest daughter has been

missing for well over a year now and I just learned yesterday that

she is still living on the streets in CA. I had to file a missing

persons report there to find this out. She is punishing me for not

giving her drug money etc, so its her way of making me worry.

My oldest daughter lives in CA and has a wonderful life, but she too

thinks she can say things to hurt me when Im not doing what she

wants. I went there a litle over a year ago to spend time with my

dying father in the hospital. Everytime I go to San Diego, she is

seldom home and leaves me to babysit. This has always been okay with

me because I love the time with my little granddaughters. But on this

occasion I was there for my father and she called me at the hospital

to see if I could come home to babysit and of course I said that I

needed to stay with grandpa. Late that night when I did come in she

treated me like a leper.. Both my daughters are not children. One is

39 and one is 33.

A couple of months later I went back to CA for my mothers funeral.

The morning of the funeral my 8 year old granddaughter smarted off to

me because I was taking too much time in the bathroom. I told her

she is not to speak to me with disrespect at anytime. Well my

daughter just blew up and said terrible things to me. I must say

that I am a WONDERFUL grandma! Well later at my moms funeral my

daughter got up and said her grandma was her best friend... I was

thinking your grandma would have put her fist in your mouth if she

had heard you speak to your mom that way! Which brings me finally to

my point..

My mother had 6 children and she took no crap from any of us. I

would never have thought to speak to my mom that way..And now finally

I have adopted her ways with my own daughter. My mom didnt care

whether we liked her or not, which we all did... She demanded respect

and she got it. When said do it, we did it.. I could go on and on but

I wont. Please take a good look at how they are treating you and

dont worry about being mean.. Its good to be mean once in awhile.

Just a note when my youngest was a teenager and running wild and

lying to me all the time, she once told me YOU DONT TRUST ME! I said

you got that right! LOL... Im praying for you dear and Im praying

that youre family will get the picture. Oh and youre dang right, I

know when Im being mean! God Bless, Debra

Is that a prejudice or advice? Meds or no meds? If I end up being Hyde I'll

need some practice.

Looks like an opportunity is coming my way!

Thanks for the tip!
