Question:
– Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – Many may not believe that so many things can happen to one person at once, but it is. I a currently undergoing a lot of stressful life events, so much so that I stay at the computer to try not to deal with it (It’s how I get away.). Many of you know that I come from a very large family. Well, I have six older sisters. One had breast cancer about 10 yrs ago. She was able to get a lumpectomy, but she still had to undergo chemo and radx treatments. Now, another sister has had a total radical mastectomy. She too has to undergo chemo and radiation. She does not seem to be handling the treatments to well. She also revealed to another sister that "they did not get it all". Well, I found a lump; I’ve had it checked out and the doctors say it is just a "fatty lipoma" so not to worry…but my other sister said that’s what they told her. In the meantime, I have another sister who is missing, has been missing for half a year (Yes she was a drug abuser.) I went with my mother to make a police report in January of this year. I’ve also been going through quite a bit of financial disruption. I’ve only been able to work part-time, and my husband is 100% disabled (hemipelvectomy and PTSD and neuropathy in both hands from using crutches…). So that brings me to today. The house has been foreclosed on (during the separation he did not pay any bills). I can’t get it straightened out. Today, a V.A. loan officer will come by to say if the house will be able to be adapted to a wheelchair accessible home. If it cannot be done, we will have to move… I don’t want any reponses to this post. I just had to get it out. I’ve been holding it in for months. Mel
Consider this a non-response to Mel’s posts, Dear ASAPers. I’ve done this before – written stuff, asking for no response to what I’ve written. I think there’s something helpful in the writing of what’s going on in one’s life that can be therapeutic, and sometimes, one just does not WANT any particular attention given to what’s written. As if that’s possible….
