Guest guest Posted January 18, 2004 Report Share Posted January 18, 2004 I have to be very careful because I don't have any family and am alone, so if something goes wrong, I'm F****d. Can I say that here??? > Robin Just speaking for myself (although I am sure I am not alone in this), you can say anything on this list that helps. Sometimes the frustrations of battling with a seemingly unknowing and uncaring world can be almost overwhelming. And sometimes the only thing that helps is to vent and get it out of your system. This list is a resource at many, many levels. The obvious one is the sharing of information. But an equally important purpose is to simply be there for each other in times of need. But if you ever feel the need to vent in a way that you might feel is inappropriate or offensive to the list ... you have my private email address. My shoulders are broad (although not as broad as my waist), and my skin is thick. And I spent the last 15 years of my working career dealing with sailors. There ain't NOTHING I haven't heard! You can unload and vent with me at any time to your heart's content. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2004 Report Share Posted January 18, 2004 Hi Robin -- You can vent anytime you want. I have a very small family who really don't want to be involved, so if anything happens, I'm bascially F****d, too!!! Like Mike said, you can email privately if you don't want to do it on list (my email is pmelcher@...). I grew up around and worked in a paper mill for years -- so I've heard it all, too!!!!!!

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2004 Report Share Posted January 19, 2004 I to don't mind in the slightest, I grew up on a farm and worked in parks and gardens in the ski fields as a relief cow milker and as a park ranger (nearly always as the only female) so not much bothers me. Vent away. Feel free to email me privately too if you so wish at shazzinoz @ hotmail.com (minus the spaces but if I leave them out it will not print the entire addy).

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2004 Report Share Posted January 19, 2004 Yea, if my oldest daughter uses profanilty (which she seems to be doing a lot of lately. Don't know if it's her age (17) her anxiety from all her health issues, who she's hanging around with, or if she just being a *$ & $!) I get very angry with her. I actually smaked her the other night, after some terrible things came out of her mouth, I told her to knock of the swearing, and she said " screw you! " Oh! I couldn't believe it! My darling wonderful daughter! Somehow, it's much worse hearing it from her than anyone else. I sure do hope this is just a phase! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2004 Report Share Posted January 19, 2004 We all need to vent at time, don't we? It will pass, just have patience - and if you're a believer, prayer helps too, in my mind! Enjoy every minute, they pass much too quickly!

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2004 Report Share Posted January 19, 2004 That's so nice to hear. and I have been so close since she was born. We have a very open, wonderful relationship. I know she doesn't tell me everything, but she sure tells me much more than most teenage girls tell their moms. She can talk about anything with me. You wouldn't believe some of the things she's come to me with. and I have the same kind of relationship, but she's not tried to test me yet. It's just been the last few weeks that 's been testing me. I hope it passes quickly, cause I can't stand it! (Of course, I'm not mentioning the way she was when she was in the hospital. Boy, did she say some pretty mean things to me then. But, I think that was just because she was so sick, and I was there, and she knew I wouldn't leave or yell at her. She needed someone to vent to.)
