Guest guest Posted June 14, 2004 Report Share Posted June 14, 2004 Another wonderful wise letter. You are so admirable. We could all learn a lot from you......well, maybe not Terri because she has a bird brain and lays eggs.....but everyone else could learn. Love, Cam Re: DARING DASH Thanks Cam. It took a long time for me to get to that place. I had to work on it. One gets sick of being a floor mat. I have two sisters that do not talk to me and a mother that doesnt' and a mother in law that doesn't. I am not ever nasty, but I will not be treated badly either. After trying for decades with the inlaws, I decided it was thier loss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 14, 2004 Report Share Posted June 14, 2004 Thanks Cam. It took a long time for me to get to that place. I had to work on it. One gets sick of being a floor mat.

After trying for decades with the inlaws, I decided it was thier loss. My sisters got green monsters over money they thought I was going to make in a real estate deal and my mother is just senile and listens to the sisters. Sick bunch. I have one sister and my 4 kids and 8 grandkids and one grgrandkid and they are now my family and there is respect. I never let my sons be nasty to their girl freinds either, but right in front of the girls correct my adult sons and say the same thing and for the most part everyone is nice to each another. But life is good and I am happy for the most part. Today was sick again. Slept for about 4 hours in the daytime. Unusual and unbelievable and never could do that when working. I am feeling better now, but soon it is beddy bye again. dash " Friends " ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 14, 2004 Report Share Posted June 14, 2004 Hi Cam, I also went to counseling for a long long time. The counselor saw what these peoples were doing. I had to practice to be able to stand up to some of them... I was abused as a child and I was going to take charge of my life and did so.......it was a lot of work, but I learned to be my own best friend and still am. Even my dh has learned to respect me........it took a couple decades that is all. Women need to be told that they " can " do things. My own upbringing was so bad that I had to reprogram myself and put myself back together the way I wanted to be. Anyway, sometimes it is just best to let mean people alone and avoid them......family or otherwise. I put myself thru decades of trying to please some people that just will never accept me or my husband or maybe themselves. NO MORE of that. So many people play emotional mind games. I do not play them if I can identify and stop them. Life is too darned short to always be miserable. dash Re: DARING DASH Thanks Cam. It took a long time for me to get to that place.

Guest guest Posted June 15, 2004 Report Share Posted June 15, 2004 Cam, I think we all have choices in life. I chose to figure out things and get to the bottom of problems. I have never regreted that. I have regretted not doing some things tho. I find it is not what we have done that is so regretted in life, but the things we did not do. I try to face life head on. You are also a very wise woman. Both of us having lived longer than a lot of the gals on this list, I guess, should be..... lol. Should have something to show for the time spent. chuckle. I always wished I could play an instrument. I can't sing. I love music, but there was no music in our home. My mother was schizophrenic... very sick lady. dash Re: DARING DASH Another wonderful wise letter. You are so admirable.
