Family gathering

[NeuronerdDoaty]

I’m going to a restaurant with all kinds of family. Pops won’t be there. My brother will take over for she who birthed me on picking apart my clothing style which is for the comfort of lupus skin

It’s cold so I hurt all over from another physical issue.

But I will see grandkids. I will focus on kids and my husband. I will make it through.

I dislike my brother very much.

Enjoy your meal 😊

You to, I have two Sisters who are really the pits and I have not really interacted with them for a long time, my Mother was a Tartar and died early this year and now my Solicitor is having to deal with them, not pleasant.

However it sound only one sibling is a problem so bite your Lip and try and keep the peace.

Sad to say, my family is now cracked to bits, however if you have some understanding of those around the table be happy and enjoy the time together.

In my eyes I am a single child, so bad the rivalry

I’m the nasty one supposedly. I’m sorry Bob. You’re a great help to me💛

[Hidden in reply to NeuronerdDoaty]

Yes that is how my Siblings feel about me, The last time I went out with my family was in 1975. Never again Lol

Try biting your lip, Keep the peace and enjoy the meal

Keep a hold

Neither of my siblings speaks to me. And one live less than five minutes away. My children and all my neice's and nephews are now grown. Perhaps my siblings will decide to speak to me again when the next generation begins. If so I too will concentrate on the kids. Always have, always will.

Thank you everyone. I played with babies and ate my food. My Son was so sweet to me. Then I left before things went bad. Lol!

[Starrlight in reply to NeuronerdDoaty]

Beautiful!

[Mrspjsmom in reply to NeuronerdDoaty]

Sounds like you handled the situation like a pro.

[Likeabadstorm]

I hope you enjoyed the meal and your grandkids.

[Booklover0219]

That doesn’t sound like my cup of tea either. I hope it goes as painlessly as it possibly can. Best of luck!

[NeuronerdDoaty in reply to Booklover0219]

I had a grandson on either side of me! I did fine. Thank you!

[Booklover0219 in reply to NeuronerdDoaty]

That’s awesome! That made it worth the stress right. ❤️

[NeuronerdDoaty in reply to Booklover0219]

Absolutely. And, my son was next to his son. There was a prior misunderstanding and my DIL and son had been upset with me but all was cleared up so it was great. I ignored my mother completely.

Awww 💜 yayyyy for grandkids and your hubby

My family are similar to yours, mine are mean, jealous, back biting all the time, my mother never liked me, my dad had his favourite, they should never have been parents.

I think the reason I suffer with anxiety, depression and aches and pains like I do is because if this upset all my life.

I have Jyst discovered Dr Sarno and TMS, worth a Google. He talks about the brain being under siege. And saying that all our emotional trauma manifesting as pain in our body. I can absolutely relate to that.

All I can say is Thank God for my three children and eight grandchildren, I brought my children up all the same, treated them the same, loved them the same, and they all get on and are all well adjusted....

Just thought it might be nice for you to know you are not alone in all these family feelings.
