Hubby took me to dinner last night and we agreed we weren't going to talk about any "stuff". Even though we know it's there, it was nice to get out and try to leave it all behind for a little bit.
I so appreciate all the caring replies and humor. Rofl Gardengal!! re: punching someone in the head for saying "things happen for a reason". I have felt the exact same way!! Especially after my daughter passed away. People can say some incredibly stupid things.
I know we can get through this and I've been through much worse. I just wanted to post my frustrations because stepping outside and screaming my head off seemed very unattractive..lol (and for sure would draw a crowd)
I don't personally believe that HP sits around and creates havoc in people's lives. We have free will and some people are just ###holes. It's how we deal with it that creates growth.
I hope I didn't sound like I was on some pity pot. I'm just simply frustrated and amazed at the events. like GEEEZ LOUISE!!! I know we'll be ok once the "storm" moves out of my area. This family has weathered many and I'm sure there's more to come. Just a lil break in between would be nice. Yesterday I just felt like I was being hammered. Today....I'm mentally blocking the blows and as I said, I just had to hand it over as best I can..
Thanks everyone for your words of support. And yes, this too shall pass. So please, everyone take a deep breath and face toward St. Louis and BLOWWWWWW, maybe the clouds will move on... :)
Love y'all Christy

Here is a big burst of air Whew!!!!!! from Louisiana home of Hurricane Katrina (my daughter's name) Hurricane Rita (my name) - and everybody knows we sure can blow some wind! - as I was drowning in the despair of this disease thinking God, I know I will never walk on dry land, but could I at least see the top of the water every now and then???
Praying and having good thoughts that your HP will send showers of blessings your way soon and the dark clouds and storms will leave and give you calm and peace.
Rita

>>>>>>>>>i dont' either, i think it is liek U said, free will, choice, life, and yes, the darkness tryin to mess us up on our hope and fellowship and our recovery....anythng to despair us......its awful when it just comes and comes and comes and u feel so helpless......i am learning to just "ride it out" like i am getting sorta over a thing like u, only not quite as bad, just "picking" me to death.......one thing than another, ALL i am powerless over......NOTHING i could do ANYthing about......so i got to be practiced in DETACHMENT.....just WALKING AWAY from the karma.......

>>>>>>>>>>>>>it did NOT sound like pity pot......i know when i am frustrated i NEED to vent and get support from U guys........and yeah, i tell myself when the dung is hitting the fan, that i survived the worst a child can survive, so i'll survive THIS.......life does NOT exempt us from shit just becuz we are in recovery....too bad, but true......and for me?? being an acoa and coda and AA, i will never be able to perceive and handle life like a healthy person....too much shit happened to me, but i plug on ONE day at a time, and i focus on me, and the BARE BASICS when the stuff is happening....i make myself sleep more...eat better.....i cut out things i dont' HAVE to do.....i really hunker down and do a "down time" thing where ONLY necessities i take care of......i leave what i can leave till the karma is better...............peace and prayers to U, rosie
You are human and everyone needs to blow steam sometimes. I didnt hear any pity pot talk. I hear you working your program. Unfortunately if I blow right now, it's gonna be hot air, as we are in the triple digits in TX!! - But blow I will for you Hon. I hope hot air blows problems away faster. LOL. WHOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
