Pears working:j

myalphabetgirls

afternoon everyone... Neil Sedaka singing "laughter in the rain" as I type (Alan Titchmarsh show)... ahh, memories...

How is everyone doing? Ive got a poorly mum! Was admitted to hospital last Friday with breathing problems, she is 89 so inevitable, she just looks so very frail. She is surrounded by 90+ yr old ladies (although mum insists they are men and keeps talking in a stage whisper that this is so, lol). My time has been taken up with visiting and trying to glitch when I can. Managed to get some pears stuff this morning, lets hope it still working. Asda will wonder what has happened with a sudden flurry of pears purchasing, otherwise they must only sell one a month.

Can I ask some advice from you worldly wise bunch who always offer welcome and unbiased advice?

You may or may not have gleaned from my posts that all is not well within the family dynamics, many reasons, but it all came to a head when I lost Chloe. Suddenly faced not only with this tragedy but a funeral to fund also I turned to my father as he has always been a frugal man and has dangled the financial security "when I'm gone" carrot for most of my life. In a nutshell my Dad refused to help, my sister sided with him for fear of losing her inheritance, so much so that they walked away from me at Chloe's funeral, refusing to attend the gathering afterwards and using my mum as the go-between to tell me not to ring again. Over the last 3 years I have had no emotional support from those that should have been there for me and to be honest, its all a lot of history now; sometimes I feel I grieved for them also with Chloe. Some time last year I started having incognito phone calls with my mum who decided to make a stand against him and over the last year I have occasionally visited. He refuses to talk to me, leaving the room, but allowing me an hour or so with Mum. The last couple of months have been better, he has started to stay in the room at least especially as my mum has been quite poorly on and off most of this year, leg ulcers, breathing probs (regularly) so much so they have become to rely on me to take them to hospital appointments and so on, most of them are silent and to mention Chloe is taboo. Mostly I find myself in an undesirable position of being at war with myself, torn between loyalty and my own pain at their abandonment. Dad is having a lot of problems physically himself (he has prostate cancer for 11 years and it has been fairly stagnant but started to progress), mostly they are just old and frail. He is approaching 92 and mum will be 90 next birday. They both have their faculties though and he still rules the roost! I just find myself so torn, I want to help but then I remember the hurt and pain of not having their love, support and above all comfort when I needed them most. Some things are unforgiveable and irrepairable, aren't they? I do not feel I will ever want to speak to my sister again, her daughter (my niece) gave birth to her first baby just a week after Chloe passed away, I still find it unfathonable that she could have held that little babe in her arms and not felt my pain. As I write she is in Lincolnshire with her daughter and grandson visiting and not made any effort to help with mum and dad. To be fair she lives an hour away normally and I am one junction away on the M5.

I am just soooooooooooooo torn, does that make sense? What should I do? Do I disguise my own hurt and grief and help as best I can?

I do wonder every time my mum is ill will this be it? I know its inevitable? she has lived since the age of 16 with just one functioning lung (Tb) so I often think she is amazing to have got to 89. I cant see the wood for the trees. Any suggestions welcome, thanks so much guys x

Loving thoughts and hugs to all who need them, I guess my post has been a self-obsessed but my head is spinning x

Hi MAG, I can feel your pain. Love & hug to you.xx

The thing is - we want to forgive & forget but we can't as it has embeded into our mind for the rest of our life.

You can forgive what they have done to you but you can never forget.:(

Like you said we have to hide our feelings and I am sure they know what they have done in the past.

When I was young my eldest sis beat me like mad. I don't know why she hated me so much. Before my mum passed away - she make my 3rd eldest sis to promised her that she will keep all the family together no matter what. If it hasn't been for my 3rd sis, we all will not be as closed as we are now.

Yes, I do talk to my eldest sis but we are not close. As we grow much older, we come to realised what we have done when we were young. I am sure your sister will feel that way too.

As for your dad - you only have one dad no matter how bad he treated you and at his age he does not have long to live too just get along with him and I am sure he will ask you for forgiveness for any wrong doing.
