I know I said this before, but I'm going to suggest it again because it's the best thing I can think of if your family truly will not or can't hear the extent of your grief.Try to find someone--a teacher, someone--who will give you time & will hear you. Please, Alex--find that someone. She/he is your lifeline. That person is somewhere but you are going to have to take some risk to find him/her. You must meet someone new, in your neighborhood or at school perhaps. Keep posting. Keep trying the grief links. There may be a local connection with someone through one of those. |

((((AlexRawr))),
Sweetheart, your mother needs some time to think about so much right now. I don't think she is mad at you, she lost a child and her family is out of sorts right now. I think she is probably angry and doesn't know what to do about it. It takes time to grieve and everyone does it a little differently. Anger is a part of grieveing too, there are lots of emotions even the ones you are expressing here. When we lose someone it leaves an empty place in our hearts and it is a shock to us in many ways. We don't just get over that quickly, it takes a while to sort through the emotions we have and to be honest, that is something we do grieve for a long time. It takes time to rebuild after a loss like this. I think your mother just needs time. Just tell her that you love her when you can, I am sure she needs to hear that. I know you need to hear that too Alex, it will come. Maybe you have to be the man here and try to just give your mom some love and try not to ask of her, but just keep telling her you love her. Sometimes we think our parents should have all the answers and more strength to pick up the pieces when things fall apart. But the truth is, they are just human beings and they don't have all the answers. I went through a lot myself and I couldn't just jump up and fix it. I went into shock and everyone got so mad at me and I did try very hard but it just happened to me. I wish I could have just fixed everything somehow, but the experience I went through just hit me too hard. So I just wanted to share that with you so you would know that what your mom is probably really saying is that she is not ready to fix anything right now. I am sure she doesn't mean it Alex but she is just too overwhelmed right now. But just being kind to her and telling her you love her, that is what is going to help her the most, AND that will end up helping you too. I think your mom may be scared too Alex. So just give her some time. As I said, don't ask of her right now, and I know that is hard because you NEED TOO. But if you just keep saying you love her and be kind, that will draw her back to her family. Please keep coming here. If you need to talk Alex you can always just come here sweetheart and we will listen. I think that Reuben's spirit is still with you Alex. And I know he would want you to heal and try to let yourself slowly get back into your life. I know it can be lonely for a time, try to find things that you can do to occupy your time. Maybe try to read some good books to help fill your mind too. Remember, we are here and listening and always ready to offer as many hugs as you need.

Alex, I don't understand what you mean. What doesn't she believe? We all believe that you're sad and lonely and miss Ruben. We believe than you feel awful and are having trouble finding a reason to want to go on.
So if that's what you mean, we do believe that you are suffering from this unhappiness. So what is it that your mother doesn't even believe? |

Alex, you can always share with us. What is embarrassing? Believe me, many of us have hidden secrets and we didn't think others would believe us. So don't worry about us not believing you here. You can also PM us if you feel uncomfortable sharing in the forum. You need to have someone to talk to that can support you hun.

I can see how solid and attracting Ruben is for you in this visual, Alex. Also that you mom is an important part of your life, and how connected she is to your sister. That your older brother is pretty much adrift. You're good at showing these relationships.
I'm uneasy that your father, though removed from everyone, has his eye on you all. He still seems to have control of you somehow. Is that how you feel? I mean, besides feeling so alone and wanting to be with Ruben? I wish there were somewhere you could go and feel Ruben's presence. What does the house in your drawing represent? If it's your old home, is there any chance you could visit it--if you wanted to? Just you?

Hi Alex, so you have an older brother? How old is he? And a younger sister too? How old is she? There are three of you and your mom now? I am sorry but I didn't know.
Just wondering. How are you today? Open Eyes |

Are you telling your mom about some abuse and she isn't believing you?

My father is in jail... It turned out to look like an eye by accident but it still feels like he has control over us even though he's in jail. The picture is not a house... It's more like the night or outer space. When I want to be more connected to my brother I go to his room, lye on his bed, touch his stuff.. It helps sometimes, sometimes it just hurts. If it were easier I'd chose to be with Ruben in a heartbeat... but nothing is ever simple My older brother is 17 and my sister is 12. |

Ok, Alex, it sounds like your family is very disconnected and that happens in a situation where the father is not there in a healthy supportive way and after all your brother demanded a lot of time as he was ill a lot.
Alex, I think your mom was just going along doing her best to raise four children, with one child being sick with such a troubling illness. And often that is such a big demand on a parent and they can kind of even become a bit distant as they are just trying to work through the motions of keeping things all together somehow. Well, your mother was on a kind of schedule of maintaining her ability to just keep trying to address Reubens illness and then your father was this big challenger to her as well. Then you all lost Reuben and the pattern your mother had all fell apart. And I am sure she doesn't have a clue in how to pick up the pieces here. It really isn't like all of a sudden we are just grownups and know how deal with all of this. I am sure you mother is very overwhelmed and very lost Alex. Now this doesn't mean she doesn't love you Alex. I have a feeling that she is just plain lost right now, and emotionally lost as well. I hope she is working with a therapist, you all should be working with a therapist to deal with what has been going on in your family. Alex, I bet your mother is scared right now. And I wouldn't be surprised if she also has a short temper and is also depressed. You ALL have been through a lot. I am sorry you feel so alone right now Alex. This is going to take some time for all of you to work through. That is why I suggested you at least tell your mother you love her without putting the demand on her to sort things out for you right now. I have a feeling she doesn't know how to help herself, let alone you and your brother and sister. And I am sure that she is angry too that she is left with all of this to sort out. Just give this time Alex, and if you can reach out to the councelor at school and see if you can find a way to get more help, that would be a good thing for you to do. You all need help to be honest. But at least reach out on your own as well. Keep coming and talking to us Alex, we are here to listen and keep sending you lots of hugs. (((((((Big warm hugs))))) Open Eyes |
