(((Mkac))) Is it terrible for me to admit that, while i was reading your post, i was planning how to throw my "wedding bouquet" directly at you? i was reading someone else's - someone i dont know- post last week, like day of, and half way thru it i was like - i dont HAVE to read these anymore. I dont belong to that circus anymore. My brain just deflated like a souffle pffft.

Eta - at least she admitted the truth. Thats something. Not much, but something. Kinda like admitting youre satan. or donald trump. Their playing innocent leaves you no place to go but insane or alone.

I don't understand, hankster. Why were you planning to throw a wedding bouquet at me? Did I upset you? I didn't mean to. Or did you mean it in a happy way? Like a bouquet of being free from mother drama being tossed my way?

The tradition of throwing the bouquet - the girl who catches it is next to marry. Its usually a "fixed" contest

Like i said - i was feeling myself like always a bridesmaid, never the bride.

Glad your AC is working, Chris. Stopdog, I have taken the cat with immune issues with me to the office when our AC went out because he doesn't deal well with heat. I don't think it is that unusual to accommodate our pets' comfort more than our own, is it?

My horse was seriously injured over the weekend, and for a while we did not know if her injury was going to be fixable or something she would live through. She is out of danger and I should not be as depressed as I am about the whole thing, I don't think. She will be fine and I didn't do anything wrong. I still feel like a horrible partner and like I should quit riding. Also my mother has been an absolute pill lately. She was rude to my daughter and then called to ***** at me that my daughter was rude back to her. She did not understand why my daughter would do such a thing and thought my daughter had no right to be upset, either about the current rudeness or the past. She did not think she had done anything wrong ever. So I explained to what she had done wrong and the things that my D was upset about, part of which involves how my mother treats me. My mother pointed out that she had to take advantage of me and treat me badly because it was necessary in order for her to get what she wanted. I had money and my sisters didn't, so she felt justified in requiring me to buy things of my father's from her after his death, while giving things to my sisters, for example. She was justified in refusing to admit to anyone other than me that she knew my BIL stole from me, because she needed him to like her so he would do more things for her, etc. She seemed bewildered that I would be upset by these things because clearly they were necessary in order for her to get her way or for her life to be easier. Then she proceeded to tell my younger sister that I had said horrible things about my younger sister, trying to get my younger sister to join her in being angry at me and excluding me from family functions again.

Is it horrible to admit how jealous I am of Hankster that her mother died? I am beginning to think my ****ing ***** of a mother is never going to ****ing die.
I am joining this club. The.... since wishes don't cause things, I'm going to be honest that my life would be so much easier if mine was gone, both my parents actually, sigh.

When my mother dies, I get unlimited free access to my little brother. I HATE the current cost of admission. I hate the price of family.

That is probably why the small fortune I spent on my therapist seem so easy to overlook or justify.

Money is nothing, sigh, compared to what I've paid.

Argh! I hate my nose. I bought one of those plug-in air-fresheners mainly for the girls, but the smell is really over-powering even on the lowest setting. Its not like unit is small it is larger than average and mostly open plan. I have cracked open a few windows to see if that tones it down.

Let me join! My dad just really really really hurt my sister by telling her "wish you well in your life" but wanting nothing to do with her.

Just horrible. This is a kid in her 20's who had even less of a dad than I did.

I could kill the man right now for being so horrible. But I can't and just have to go on being hurt by dad and watch dad hurt others.

Well done in telling your mother how you feel. And your mother admitted her motives. That's probably as much as you can expect.

I think there should be a required class for anyone entering into therapy for the first time. Sort of like home owners class for first time home owners. The more I read about controlling therapists who make people weak under the guise of treating them, the stronger I feel about an uprising in the mh community that calls for massive reform and consumer education.

It makes me sick to read about therapists who lead people to believe they know what's best. When my therapist told me she really doesn't, I felt let down. But now, finally, I'm better able to see what's best for me and act on it. All those years of looking outside myself, and no one had the guts or integrity to say I can make better decisions for myself than they can.
Thanks for this!

I would think it more useful to make those people be honest and explain what they are supposed to be doing and what the **** processing means.
