hi eva. thanks for thinking of me! you are so nice. still struggling with alot of rsd pain and problems with my stomach but am trying to do the best i can with what i have. my brother isn't doing much better. it breaks my heart but he just won't get the proper help and i feel like i have to distance myself a little from him now until he does. it breaks my heart but the stress has affected my health and i need to let go for now. anyway, enough about me, how are you today? i hope you are doing better and that you have a wonderful day. love and hugs.

With a beautiful wish for me
You are in my opinion have done the right thing
removing yourself that you brothers condition
has begun to affect you in a tougher than usual care for him

I pray he and my daughter that made me a grandmother
Who fell in love with her
A true gift
Helps me appreciate my family even more
And make no mistake
that it does come with huge emotional pain
When your child is crumbling before my own eyes
Operative word here is emotional
So hurry up already
And
May your days be merry and bright
Love
Me
Happy holidays
to my friend

Hi Eva,
Thinking of you today and sending prayers and healing energy.
I know this is such a tough time of the year, we see everyone running around
shopping, going to holiday parties and being active and pain free. I know we all
wish we could be doing the same thing.

Yet, I do find I am uplifted and inspired by my friends, like you, on these forums.
You inspire me Eva with all you endure and every day you find a way to pull yourself up
and forge ahead. You are strong and determined and committed to care for yourself and your family.
Bless you Eva....thanks for sharing your thoughts.
D.

I have been fighting being visited by depression
so hard
I have been doing good for the most part
I am conscious and aware when it hovers over me
I ask it to leave and come back another time
only in the last two days
IT is really trying to bring me down
I hate IT
once IT gets a hold on me it is really hard to
shake it

My blow out with my middle sister
Was very ugly
VERY UGLY
have her blocked from contacting me anymore
other than sending me a message the old fashioned way
I had mentioned in the past I allowed my sister to use my
Dell card to my nephew who needed it for school
Rutgers college
A woman who is an addict
And there possibly is my answer
She TRIED TO STIFF me of the purchase
Giving me a hard time paying me back
Why I have no clue
But this is where enough is enough
The disgusting things she typed
Disgusting referring to my illness
I contacted my ex-brother in law
My nephews father and began explaining
what my sister was attempting
I think all hell broke loose between them
My sister lies and manipulated so many things
Her now husband who my nephew expressed to my
child this past summer
They are a year apart
He proceeds to tell Corissa
If you could be born into a different family would you
My daughter Corissa told him
My mother has ALWAYS been by my side
No matter what my mother will tell me the truth about anything
she knows
I never lied to my babies
They know e v e r y t h i n g about me
And I would never steer them wrong
So, he said, you wouldn't wish to be born in
another family
Never she said
I can't imagine me not having her as my mother

This is a small indication how tiny he feels at home
My sister is wrapped up with her now husband in the
hospital because he won't stop drinking
The liver transplant unit released him as a patient as he refuses
to follow the what the doctors just have up
He is in the hospital for his failing kidneys
Get the picture
My daughter expressed how George's
Wish this past summer when I had them as guests
at the pool and they would take walks together
As two teenager who are first cousin
He is an only child
Say to my kid
My mother put Paul before me
How bloody sad is that
I am thrilled my brother in law is in my nephews life
I now cut off any kind of commication after wishing me ill
I will not stand for it
And now she is alone with her addict husband and brings it into her home as if my nephew never came across the dirty needdles

May he do well
And he knows he always can come to me
and ask me anything
And if I have an answer
I will always
Tell him the truth
Me

Dear eva,

There is no accounting for taste, but putting anyone before your own child is unfathomable to me.

Keep fighting to have that Depression stay away, you are better off basking in the light.

Dave.

you knew just what to say
thank you
and those who follow
love
me
