h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

It is amazing what the amount of self-centered, childishness that is displayed by ones own family. It seems that they forget who is going to be taking care of them in a few years.
When your children are not well at all (chronic illness, and a very bad day), do not say; o well you can't go out all the time, have a good day. Then hang up the phone. My body is still shaking from the damage that was done, my wife is on her back not able to walk, AND THAT IS ALL SHE CAN SAY.....
I WONDER WHY MY PROGRESSION IS SPEEDING UP.
The worst part is she doesn’t see it, it is all about her.

The land of denial is a lonely place, get over it and move on.

This is very disturbing to read.
I am glad you said it though.
No need to have to bear it silently.

It is mind boggling the actions or lack of them some family members can have at times. The emotional harm dispensed seems cruel.
Surely they are in denial about their impact.
I have to believe they are outside themselves, dissasociated at that time. Not strong enough , rather run away than choose to grow in strength.

People never think such needs will ever arrive in their own lives.
To be fair , I never thought so.
Still ! I cannot imagine not having more empathy or desiring t offer some usefulness.

Sometimes people just need to be asked because they are not thinking. This is not the case in this moment

People living in a more functional and healthy family often do not believe such callous stories The dear folks without family who are forever missing one do not believe it happens so often.

It makes your head swim, throws you off balance.
It can worsen your condition.

It's truly shocking and unreal when somebody talks to you but you remain invisible. Unrealness, dizzy, nauseated as they leave your shared reality.
Unsafe territory > skipping reality.

Later will occur to them ,will reality crash in?
It's not required in order for them to function otherwise.

The luxury of denial is not as available to all.
How can another person away from reality, understand that loss?

I am sorry this has been your experience.
Though it is of no practical use,I wish I could help.
I have had similar things occur.

Thanks abbi, my mum has taken my legs out from under me. I cannot get over this.

Mine did the same, decades ago.

Her style at the time; RIP
Hysterically crying - you are not well and I cannot help you with anything. I have my own life, it's your problem to solve.
You must find somebody!
Marry a wealthy man she says!
Um YOU, my mother, does not want to help what makes you think a wealthy man ( or anybody)would jump at the chance full time?


Bizarre heartbreakers
You are certainly not alone is experiencing this.
I know it is shocking.

Want to hear mine? I wake up early, clean the cats' poo & pee, prepare breakfast, boil drinking water, bring out the clothes to dry, wash the dishes, clean the kitchen sink, mop the floor & bring in the cats into their cages at night. & STILL EVERYONE IN MY FAMILY SAYS I'M USELESS. That is why I love animals more than humans, because they appreciate what you do for them & (almost) never complain. My dad says I'm a wimp. My sister says I'm an idiot. & my mom says that I am nothing but a burden, a piece of rotting, dirty, smelly piece of unwanted flesh that never should have came out from her womb! Try living through that everyday. I have to.

"sister says I'm an idiot. & my mom says that I am nothing but a burden, a piece of rotting, dirty, smelly piece of unwanted flesh that never should have came out from her womb!"


You > nobody should not be spoken to that way.
I am not so nieve as to think it does not happen though.

Do you ignore it?
It's surely a nasty festering sore on your soul if you have to listen to that and have no way to get away or an outlet. I hope you have an outlet of some sort.

Sorry to hear your story MAS, it can be sooo cruel. Wait a few years 'till your bigger than her, then ask if she wants to do that to you.

She's always right, everyone else is wrong. She can always talk, everyone else has to shut up. Her words (& lies) are the truth, everyone else lies. She knows everything, everyone else are stupid.

That's my mom's principle. Plus the fact that she blames me for everything bad that happens.

My sister is SOOO ungrateful! I do her schoolwork, I do her school project, I prepare lunch & dinner for her, I wash the dishes for her, I clean her room for her, I buy books for her, I collect information for her, BUT HOW DOES SHE THANK ME? She calls me a retard & goes off telling everyone that I'm mentally ill & clinically insane! What kind of sibling is that?!
