Guest guest Posted February 15, 2001 Report Share Posted February 15, 2001 , You know it was really special to have the diui on Valentine's Day. I hope it's a good sign. took the afternoon off work to be with me. It was an incredibly special moment. Even though it was painful, having her there to hold my hand and reassure me that THIS time it is going to work, was so wonderful. Now I go back tomorrow at 2:00 so hopefully it will be a little easier. I just keep telling myself that the month I got pg it hurt like hell then too.

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2001 Report Share Posted February 15, 2001 , I just wanted to say thanks for your prayers. I just keep wondering how it will be if this is the one for me. How will I tell the group I am pg? I know I am getting ahead of myself here, but I have to force myself to be optimistic. Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2001 Report Share Posted February 18, 2001 , I am feeling pretty good. Very eager to have some pg signs but all in all pretty good. I am so sorry that your family is being so insensitive, 's family is so much the same way. She just kinda grins and bears it, limits her time with them, and has come to realize that they are the way they are and there is nothing she can do about it. We think about them as the dysfunctional people they are and that helps keep it in perspective. It still hurts her that they don't recognize me as her partner and that I am not welcome at their house, but in the grand scheme of things it rarely affects me. It hurts me that it hurts her, and I am sure that's how your DH feels. I tried for a while to encourage her to just stay away from them, but she loves them and she really couldn't do that. She has limited the amount of time she spends with them, and while she is there she reads letters I have written her reminding her of how much I love her and that she is just visiting and soon she'll be home. Ridiculous isn't it?? But thisis her family of origin and it goes against her grain to turn her back on them. I have learned to let her see them when she needs to and we talk for a long time about what to expect before she does so she gets prepared. I just hate that there are so many families out there that have conditional love for each other, or that get so self absorbed they never think about anyone but themselves. Know we are here for you when you need it. Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 18, 2001 Report Share Posted February 18, 2001 Thanks Dana... is lucky to have you and you have given my a view of how my Dh feels.... he just wants to make it better for me. In one way and I are lucky, we have in-laws who give us the unconditional love we need... plus our partners! I know they are dysfunctional and I am working on accepting that they just can't be there for me... I need to learn how to stand up for myself so they stop taking advantage of me and putting me down.... I Have limited my time with them.... it hurts but I gotta take care of me... i don't think I could completely walk away either, but I can't wait until we finally move out of state!! I think it would make it a little easier on me... I am also blessed to have all of you as my internet family... lisa r T.T.F.N. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
