I haven't been with my family (that I love so dearly) for any extended period of time for the last 8 years save a miserable 6 month stay that almost bankrupted me. I used to love spending time with my family on the holidays. Now I'm so far away from them. It's Easter Sunday... the ex is at her mom's house... all of my family and friends are 1400 miles away in Texas... and I'll be spending yet another holiday alone. This SUX!!!

I am sorry that you are alone. You can come to join me if you want. We will sit on a box and put our feet up on another and we will eat a big chocolat bunny. I will share with you.

Thanks guys. I sure needed those hugs. I really feel like childs forgotten toy right about now. When my ex and I were together I spent 3 years with her and her family during holidays and such. I always felt alone there, but it was still nice to see them. Now that we're not together, my family called the ex to wish her happy birthday and such, but no such courtesies from her family. Shows me how much I ever really meant to them. I guess they just endured me because I was with their daughter/granddaughter/niece/cousin. Oh well.

some families are royal pains-
not unlike the Monarchy they really don't like to let anybody in-
sometimes its a good thing to find out we were never really one of them- cause who'd want to join such a hierarchy. My invitation stands.

Kathy, angie, nd... you guys are the best. I don't know what I'd do without my friends here. I honestly think that I wouldn't make it sometimes. But hey, even though today is black as the pits of hell, tomorrow's not that far away. I could use some of that chocolate though. Thanks guys.

<font color="blue"> I'm alone, too, and I actually have blood relatives here. This does, indeed suck.

I know this doesn't make you feel better, but I don't think any long distance words can make either of us feel better.

Twin, I guess we'll be lonely together. Hopefully soon I'll get my wish and be able to move home. I can only pray and hope. I'm sorry that you're alone too. Go figure... yet another thing we have in common.

I'm so sorry you feel lonely. Remember though that you have us here to talk with - it's not the same as having some company IRL, but we are still your friends and we will try to make you feel less lonely.

I'm sorry you too feel lonely. Maybe keeping busy will help - maybe watch a film or something? Or like I said to Ryan, maybe talking online would help you. I would stay online to keep you company this evening, but you know how I can only spend a limited amount of time online at the moment I HATE holidays. I hope you feel less lonely soon.

Ryan,

Yeah, holidays can be tough sometimes. Sorry you are alone in person- but you're not alone in thought!

Since my dad died 11 years ago, I've always had to do everything about any holiday- sometimes my mom will come and sometimes she won't show-up. So this holiday I decided (with the help of therapy) to let the "ball be in her court", and the reality hit me hard- she never even called me!! I HATE holidays

I think it's great that you do have family that you are so close to and love so much- and it must be very hard to be away from them. Maybe holding their love close to you will help this day be more bearable.

Wishing you a peaceful day,

Mandy

I know you only have a short time you can be on the puter and I want to thank you for taking a little time for me. That makes me feel special. I'm hoping I can go out with the ex and her friends tonight to get out of the house. Again, thanks silver for your friendship.

I'm sorry that your mom didn't call you. That sux. So far mor me, the only thing that has made the day bearable has been napping for 3 hours. My mom did call while I was asleep, but I really don't remember talking to her much. I'm not all there when I'm dead asleep. I do remember that I'm supposed to call her back and I will, I just don't like talking to people when I feel this way. I hope your day has been good Mandy.

<font color="blue"> Uhm, Twin,

I just got up from a 3 hours nap. It was the only way I could figure out how to makes this day livable. I haven't been on the phone either.... If I could, I'd go back to sleep again.
