    Hey All,

    Hope Monday treated you well haha.

    Today as been a relaxed day spent most of it sleeping, not really had much rest over last few days but now all rested up. There is not really much MSE news other than not really many NSDs

    In other news my dad seems to be getting better :):) he is a lot more relaxed and more of his old self, smiling laughing and able to know where he is which is a massive step forward from Saturday, he still wants to go home but he is deffo on the mend. He is eating all meals again too plus sleeping more. So its all positive, they managed the MRI scan and appear happy there is no longer any bleed on the brain but sent to specialist just to confirm, would apear despite initial danger signs there has been no long term damage which is a relief. Although i am starting to get a little p*ssed off at my step mum seeking pity from everyone!! and telling everyone she can the whole story.
  • Great to hear your dad is feeling better!

    Yes, I can imagine how upsetting/annoying that must be. I strongly dislike it when people make themselves the victim repeatedly for sympathy but all I can recommend is ignoring it and focusing on the positives. Things like that just aren't worth the energy when you have so many more important things to focus on but I get it. Easier said than done.

    Anyways...Glad to hear things are going well for you :)

    Thank you :)

    Its just really frustrating and i am normally a chilled person but i hate how selfish she has been, as a family the last few months have been tough but for her to act this way and get sympathy upsets me. There is so much i could say to her right now and i know if she carries on i will!! that makes me a bad person right?? I just do not want any negativity around him at the moment and if she ain't prepared to do that and chooses to hit him while he is down and make him out to be a bad person then i will personally pack her bags for her! ha
  • No, it doesn't make you a bad person, it makes you human. Perhaps she needs the wake up call to see how selfish she is acting. It's not about her and you need to do what's best for you guys as a family, especially your dad.

    i feel so annoyed, i understand she is upset and in reality its his own fault he is in there, however he needs positive not her slating him to any person she meets!

    I am off to see him tomorrow straight from my night shift so looking forward to seeing him, but i will let her know how i feel. I want to know i can count on her to support him, not destroy him.
  • That sounds reasonable to me. She deserves to hear the truth and you're right, it's the last thing your dad needs. At the moment he needs positivity and to recover, not be put down.
