the family i'm proud to claim...

"Snudley LOL. Hang in there. You are a strong person. Surround yourself with your friends who love and support you. You will make it. If the family comes around great, if not... Well I hope they will. Just take care of you." --Grumpy-Not

"Hi Mike, I think perhaps, that your mother and my mother may be twins, seperated at birth. When she directed her venom one too many times, and this time, at my daughter...I had to say, enough was enough. It happens sometimes. I'm sorry it happened to you, too." --Gingerleigh225

"Thanks for the words of encouragement, granted family is forever, especially considering one's mother. I only have one mother and being who I am, she's very important to me, but I have to keep my own well being in mind, first and foremost... /That/ is the bottom line, I'm sure you'll agree. Thanks"  --Studweiser

People talk a lot of smack about Golo...  Granted there are those that strive on continual drama, there are many people here who have really kept my spirits high, and THAT means the world to me. Thank you so much.  Honestly I could never fully explain the sheer depth of my gratitude to all those that offer such kind words and valuable advice.  I am known to not smile very often, but there are some here that really make me shine from my heart.  YOU are the ones who bring me to tears. xoxo 

 

It's said that you cannot choose your family, however, I feel that family can definately choose you, and you, my friends, I feel are my true family.

"...it's my life to live and I am happy with who I have become which is all that really matters to me."

Amen to THAT!! You stick to that statement and you WILL come out of this the better person in all of this! I, too, know all to well what you have been going through. One day I may tell my 'story'. And trust me, it's NOT for the faint of heart.

I eventually realized that they will always be ashamed of me, however, it's my life to live and I am happy with who I have become which is all that really matters to me.

"I have to care for MY well-being and hapiness. I cannot and AM NOT responsible for their happiness. They have to take responsibility for that first." --Rocknhorse

I have been a catch all my entire life, both of my parents dropped out of college when I was born... My dad left engineering school, me mother left law school, I cannot count the times I have been told about that.

It was their choice not mine, yet I catch grief for it, how does that work? I hope it will pass at some point, and honestly, I'd think it would have happened by now, as both of my parents are in their 50s... I don't really know what to make of it. Maybe washing their hands of me is their way of moving on and I hope it brings them happiness. I've spent my entire life trying to make my parents happy at the cost of my own.

"I have seen you laugh before, it scared me." --ashen

Mwhahaha! >B^D~

"I need to take my own advice, lol - hard to do" --mojo

That's for sure, I am one that has a hard time taking my own advice as well! (I think that's just about everyone though! LoL)

don't let others take away your joy....never

Friends become our chosen family. We have to keep our original family, but we can surround ourselves with our friends who give us what our families sometimes don't. Do what you have to do.

hang in there Stud, we all have things in our past and people we need to rise above. Life is too short

I need to take my own advice, lol - hard to do

I have seen you laugh before, it scared me.

I understand what you are going through.It is hard being around others that raise your bp and make you sick that you do not need.you are a great person just stay the way you are.God loves you.(((((Hugs))))
