[QUOTE=SDFencer;936346]The biggest pain right now is being treated like I'm not here. Everyone just went shopping. My wife has gone over all sorts of remodel plans for the garage with my son-in-law that I know nothing about other than I have to park outside. My Granddaughter (1 next week) still doesn't come to or want me. Oh, I do have three loads of laundry to do.

SD Fencer--- I understand you 100% not too long ago and still feeling similar to you. I think im guilty of not sharing my feelings. I know since I been thru illness (cancer and neck surgery)---I feel friends and family cope with it by ignoring my reality. I understand and feel isolated. I recently got angry lately because I was told by someone I love--- you use to be so much fun and full of life---I felt stabbed thru the heart and betrayed and not understood. Leesa-- gave some great ideas which I think after holidays I might try myself. I know at least things are not going to get better by hiding what we really feel. I know we cant control what others say or do but we can control our own actions. It's not easy but maybe a way to start.
