I am so sorry that your family had to go through that. Your poor aunt and uncle

I've worked with families that have lost members to gang violence and the after-effect is just horrible

That is freaky about the picture. Do you all think it may have been your cousin's spirit?

My mum thinks so.. i just told her it was him because he didnt want her to take pics thats why he came out orange?

How is your brother taking the news about your parents? Sometimes as sisters we feel more intensity about problems involving our brothers than they do themselves. I know I do. I always want to protect them. Your dad is being immature. Some dads never change. From what you said, he seems to have a pattern. Don't let it ruin the event. You can't BE your dad, but sometimes moms and sisters have to help fill the dad's shoes. You're a strong woman and it sounds like your mom is too. You can pull it off.

BTW, Forgiveness is a good thing. I know you are very angry right now, with good reason, but try to forgive your dad. He appears to be weaker than you are.

Thanks Renee

You're right about forgiveness....I'm nowhere near ready to forgive him now though...he has a bad 25-year track record with me!
Jeffo acts like it doesn't bother him that dad is being a selfish jerk and not coming up for his day. He is always like that. He'll go on being nice and normal with dad. I'm more spiteful, despite the fact that he is my father (pretty much in name only!).
And yes, I am very protective of Jeffrey. That's why I am so mad; I know this has to be tearing him up inside. But he knows his big sis and mom will be there for him on his big day and love him more than words!

I agree - your father sounds very selfish. What is he going to do if your brother gets married? Not show up?

coolcat · Mar 30, 2005

so sorry to hear that Amy

, sending (((((good vibes))))) to your lovely family

Amy that is so tragic, i'm so sorry!

I lost a friend 2 years ago to suicide. She went to her doctors surgery for her biopsy results, found out her cancer was too far gone to treat, came home and ended her life within a few hours

I feel for you all at this moment because everything must be going round your heads as to why?, especially his mum!.

As for your dad, your right he is an adult and he needs a swift kick up the backside to grow up and stop being so selfish!!. He's cutting his nose off to spite his face, and the only one who's losing out in all this is him. Let him wallow in his self pity, it's his loss!.

Your brother may not show that he's bothered by his dad not going, but you give him a few years and he will remember all of this!.

Amy, I am so so sorry. Sending the best vibes I can for you....such an emotional toll. I am so very sorry!

Amy, I'm sorry to hear all this is going on. Good vibes going out to you. Hugs to you and the kits.

Good question and I've already thought about this. I'll (HOPEFULLY) be getting married within the next 2 years to Bradley and at this point I am ready to tell him that he is not invited. After all, my mom will be there!

Thank you all so much. Your kind words mean more to me than you'll ever know

Susan, you are so right- hmy father does need a bunch of good swift kicks in the backside!

I'm sorry to hear you have those two things bothering you and your family Amy. Best wishes for your family and extra vibes hoping that your father doesn't remain selfish forever.

batgirl2good · Mar 30, 2005

Oh, I am praying and sending good vibes! ***hugs****

ugaimes · Mar 31, 2005

Thank you again so much guys

Last night, Bradley and I went to see a performance by a few cast members from the Dave Chapelle Show (including Ashy Larry and Charlie Murphy!). It was hilarious, but as soon as we left my mind went right back to the family woes

This afternoon, I come into my office to find a message on my answering machine from my father, asking how the show was last night. He acted like NOTHING was wrong and that he already forgot that I hung up on him yesterday!!! ::censor::censor::censor:: Needless to say, I haven't called him back. I hate being so spiteful, but this is how it always is with him and my emotions cannot take it any more!
So, if any of you have any more good vibes left, I'd appreciate some more. Thanks guys for being here for me now

y'all, Amy

My ex and I don't speak (his choice not mine) but he is willing to turn up to anything involving our daughter, like her 21st party and her college graduation. We just agree to be civilised on those occasions. I hope that one day you can put all this behind you. It is good that your brother is cool about it all, though as you said, he will remember.
