Guest guest Posted December 10, 2001 Report Share Posted December 10, 2001 I don't know how the relationship with your sister is, but I have the impression it is pretty good. If your sister has received this as a present, and she likes it, I think she is entitled to keep it. I don't share your view here. It might be that your sister does not know how badly you have wanted this. Your mother - BPD or not - has also the right to give something to whoever she wants to give something to. Even if she has promised this to you for years. I know it is not nice of your mother not to keep her promise, and maybe she does it to hurt you, but you should talk about this to your mother and not to your sister. Imagine the opposite situation: you get a present from someone and your sister does not grant you the present because she said it was promised to her for years. Just my opinion.

Guest guest Posted December 10, 2001 Report Share Posted December 10, 2001 with me, needing mementoes has been more about trying to retain a bit of the beloved deceased. This theme has been played out in the FOO for as long as I remember. Most recently in my FOO this has revolved around the things of my sister. I know that her husband chucked huge amounts of her stuff and her neighbor and friend rescued it. Things like family letters and photos, books and knick knacks. While it was very painful to think that we were not offered the stuff, that I was not offered it, as a result of my being so far away, I sort of don't exist to him except as an idea. Well....I have some stuff, mostly her clothes and shoes which I will never wear,but more important things would be her letters and notebooks --something where I could hear her voice. But all of this goes back to the beginning of needing to have something of her....to retain the human bond. I was thinking last night, that so much pain is about losing her, so much grief is about wanting her back, but....that won't happen. The best thing will be in heaven, and I have a dreadfully difficult time imagining that. Faith is the realm of the eternal...yet, if one does not have faith, then.....it is even more difficult to retain the idea of the bond. My faith comes and goes. I maintain the practice of it, even though the emotions aren't there, I keep going to mass and depending on it . As far as stuff from my father and my sister, I have no hope of getting any, and I tell myself that the most important thing is that part of them that is mine...my memories, and their finer qualities that I try to emulate, and living a life on their best values. I do believe that they are not gone, and they have a connection and an awareness of us in this life, but I don't understand it at all and don't try. It is hard to lose people, and harder when the FOO dynamics are dysfunctional. kathleen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 10, 2001 Report Share Posted December 10, 2001 in my family....borrowing was basically giving. I have stuff I borrowed in another country. Mostly books. I've lent stuff to a brother and friend and in the handing over, I gave it to them. This gets me into trouble with the library and if they didn't have a canned goods for fines program I'd be in trouble every year. However....if sis said to borrow it...borrow it. Then, take a high quality photo of it so if and when she wants it back, and you decide to give it to her, you'll have a copy of it. I have nothing, nothing at all from my father's family. He had two houses burn down when he was a child. All I have is the genealogy information and what I glean for myself from internet research and trips I have been on to the South. I have my name. As for the back and forth of stuff when people die, oh it is horribly painful to get trapped in it. As for using it as emotional ammo....how nada-ish. One more thing for KO's to deal with.

Guest guest Posted December 10, 2001 Report Share Posted December 10, 2001 Cyndie - Thank you so much for your gentle response. I will definitely take it to heart. You are absolutely right that if I do somehow get the picture, that there are now all these really ugly memories attached to it. Thanks to all of you for making me see that it's only a stupid material thing that right now is really negatively emotionally charged. Yesterday, after writing about this incident, I was looking through a box of my old piano music for some sheet music to a piece I had played many years ago. I had forgotten one of the movements and wanted to relearn it. In the box, I found one of my father's music manuscripts. When he was a young man, before he was old enough to fight in WWII, he used to listen to Radio Free Europe and transcribe the swing music that he heard. He was an amazing talent. Well, the manuscript with the transcribed swing music is in my possession, and is more valuable to me than anything my mother could pass on to me now. I didn't know I had it. But God is so good, and doesn't like to see any of His children hurting. As far as I am concerned, that little book is a treasure placed in that box by a loving Father. Thanks all for listening.

Guest guest Posted December 10, 2001 Report Share Posted December 10, 2001 You're very welcome Patty... Gee your post gave me goosebumps... yes I really do believe that some loving Father put that manuscript right there at the right time for you. You have been given what you truly wanted and needed - something more real and precious with it's true merit and meaning in tact - something of your father - a loving memory - with no strings attached... just love. That's what it's all about. Peace to You, Cyndie --- Patty wrote: > Cyndie - > > Thank you so much for your gentle response. I will > definitely take it to heart.

Guest guest Posted December 10, 2001 Report Share Posted December 10, 2001 Does it actually have to be authentic? I don't have alot of stuff from my childhood especially pictures, but when clients, friends, coworkers, travel to Germany, I make copies of all of their pictures. I even got some pictures of Italy since I didn't get any from the time we went. Besides the few I found were in black and white. And nowadays with ebay, alot of things can be replaced. ** , Stinky's caretaker** Froehliche Weihnachten, Merry Christmas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
