Lyndalou, I am so sorry to hear about your mom and dad. That is so selfish. Here are my words:
What a person feels about you, is none of your business, that sounds harsh but think about, they are responsible for their own thoughts, feelings and reactions, they will have to live with it as we are responsible for ours. My family, whewwwww, compared to yours, well yours are saints. They are cold harded. I havent seen my brother since my mom's funeral, and he wanted to know who paid for My wedding! He asked my friends who attended that question? We havent seen each other since 1994. Then my stepdad passed on, that was 3 years later, well after the funeral they said well Dad left us everything and he left you what was left of his retirement fund he didnt use .....(2,400 and me and my sister had to split that and she got the boot from the other two sisters and almost had a heartache) nobody talks, two sisters are fighting over the property and assets, (since 1998) so can you imagine this after death. Now back to your family. Try this, "PRAY FOR THEM EVERY NIGHT, PRAY FOR THEIR HEALTH, WEALTH, PROSPERITY, AND EVERYTHING YOU WOULD WANT THEM TO HAVE, AND WATCH WHAT HAPPENS." I CALL IT TURNING IT OVER. I HAD TO DO THAT ....BECAUSE I DIDNT GET PHONE CALLS BACK, I SENT CARDS AND NO REPLIES..THIS WAS NOT MY MOM AND STEPDAD BUT THE SELFISH SIBLINGS. ONE DAY THEY WILL NEED YOU. BUT YOU KEEP ON BEING YOU LYNDALOU, DONT GET ANGRY, ITS A SAD SITUATION BUT YOU ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR ACTIONS, TURN IT OVER, LET THEM GO AND LET GOD! I DID THIS AND I FEEL BETTER. THIS IS 2009, AND I STILL DONT COMMUNICATE WITH THEM, BUT I DID WHAT I HAD TO DO AND I KNOW THAT IT WAS THE RIGHT THING. GO ON WITH YOUR LIFE, WHAT YOU ARE GOING THRU CAN AFFECT YOUR HEALTH, NOT THEIRS, AND THEY ARE GOING ON WITH THEIRS AND YOU ARE MISERABLE AND THEY ARE PARTYING LIKE ITS 1999! SO LIVE YOUR LIFE AND ENJOY LIFE ON LIFE'S TERMS. I JUST KNOW FOR ME, I DIDNT GET THAT FAMILY LOVE FROM BLOOD FAMILY, BUT HEY YOU HAVE THE "
LCB FAMILY" AND WE DO CARE!
