Sometimes, you just have to know when to quit. I have reached that time. The differences that I had with my parents had nothing to do with this. She got mad because they stopped sending her money. This was a decision that they made (based on her life-style) several years ago. Last year my Dad died. She thought that she was going to come into an inheritance. She was wrong. Mom spent just about everything they had to get my father the best care money could buy. Mom will continue to receive dividends on the investments that they made, so she will be alright, and maintain the level of living that she is accustomed to. I will receive nothing, as I don't love jesus, but that is O.K., because we came to an understanding. Not so from the oldest daughter's point of view. She posted some of the most vile, disgusting crap on public media, that I am at a loss for words.
I am so sick at heart, from reading the nonsense that she wrote, that I don't know what to do.
 
:( I fail to understand why religion exceeds blood if you live your life right. But then again, that is likely a thread that is just like politics. Sorry to hear that, Paul. Every family has this turmoil. I know that mine does, just thanks goodness that it is not immediate family. But man I have the stories.

Its awful when families rip into each other Paul. The family unit should be the strongest thing... but, so often it self destructs. I'm was sorry to read your post... maybe with time this situation will blow over but, sometimes the damage done is terminal.

Sorry to hear about your difficulties, Paul...the old addage that "you can pick your friends but you can't pick your family" holds true.

The passing of my Dad back in February of last year saw him become a pawn for his wife, who is the definition of a nasty witch. She had him cremated and then held up his ashes for burial until we paid her for the expenses (Dad excluded her from his will, actually only leaving her one dollar...that is how difficult thier marriage was) and long story short, we finally laid him to rest a few weeks ago and even then it was a dog and pony show, her objecting to the honor guard to the point of trying to have them removed from the service, trying to gain center stage as the grief stricken widow who needed personal time with her beloved husband.

Fortunately for her, I wasn't able to attend because of medical related stuff up here, but I swear surely as the day is long, I would have knocked her on her ass for such a total display of bad acting, selfishness and disrespect. Call it bad form or what you will, for considering putting hands on a woman, but there's nothing in the rulebooks saying that one isn't allowed to put a foot in the ass of those truly deserving...
 
Being stuck on a motorway in traffic for close to four hours! What made it worse was all I had to entertain me was a pack of cigs and Pearl Harbour on my iPhone. On the plus side I had it on Bluetooth through my car sound system and cranked up the volume. I think the surrounding cars thought we were under attack at one point lol.

She is a "victim", and seems to think that everyone owes her. When I called her on some lies and told her to stop the drama, she deleted me from her list. So I guess now she can play the "poor little me' thing to her hearts content.

Hard to deal with a 'victim' who is determined to make your life a misery.... Who provides the tea and sympathy?
 
Lordy. Meat and GG, you both have my sympathy. I'm not a religious man by any stretch of the imagination. But I can't fathom denying good, immediate family for lack of overt conviction. That just smacks of intollerance, indifference and animosity. Aren't those all sin related?

They don't look at it that way. That is the weird thing I have noticed; anyone can use their beliefs to suit their own agendas. It is complicated, but I have one sister (and her husband), that is determined to exclude me from the rest of the family. She is certain that I am possessed by demons, at the least, and quite possibly, at the worst, be the anti-christ. Her limited mind cannot comprehend that, being how we were raised, I could now be an atheist. At the last family function that I was at, (2001, my parents 50th anniversary), she would not let her children talk to me, or even be in the same room. This was when I was told that unless I consented to prayer and laying on of hands, (to rid me of the demons), that I was no longer welcome in the family.
I left.
I am sure they had a grand time exercising any demons that may have not gone with me.
 
Dam, what a suck a** situation to have to deal with.

I am always amazed at the number of people who preach their "religion" yet do not appear to even have a basic concept of it.
 
****ing hypocrites all of the religions. What part of the bible says you can fiddle with kids?
The church was always corrupt morally and nothing has changed.
If there is a god, he must despair....
 
It is said in the Good Book "so that ye sow, so shall ye reap" and can be directly translated to good old fashioned Karma.

People that live thier lives like douchebags will get thiers in turn. Perhaps not right away, but it will...
 
Arthritis?
Try booze- lots of it.
It doesn't stop the endless acute pain, the daily throbbing ache, the deformation, the severe lack of articulation, the extreme stiffness, the severe discomfort, the lack of sleep leading to lethargy, or the ****ing desperate frustration.
But you'll be so p*ssed you won't notice for awhile !!!

I've given up on Karma, or Kismet, or whatever you want to call it.
Good things happen to bad people and bad things happen to good people. There is no rhyme or reason to it, it is all luck of the draw.
That is the only lesson I have gotten out of life. So, I continue to live the best that I can, and try, TRY, mind you, to get over the things that annoy me.
Thanks to you guys, for letting me vent, and the support given.
 
Calling Dr. Daniel's, Dr. Jack Daniel's!!!

Actually the second dose of 800mg Ibuprofen has settled things down for the moment. I think it's a combination of the cool weather that moved in over the weekend, sleeping on an un-familiar bed, and carrying a shotgun over my shoulder for a day that aggrevated things.
