You are NOT a victim, as you pretend to be. You put yourself in that situation by witholding information pertinent to the family. How would you like it, if we didn't tell you that your Dad was dying? Let alone the TRUE nature of it. If your grandmother had been hospitalized SINCE SUNDAY, and YOU call me at midnight,3 days later, wake me up to tell me that my mother had a HEART ATTACK AND a Stroke, she will NOT be going back home, and withold the rest of the information, leaving me to wonder for 31 hours what is going on? Then YOU YOURSELF are responsible for the outcome of events. You Withheld the information..NOT US! And WE DO have a right to KNOW about OUR MOTHER at any time.
You passed on a text to your Dad a year ago stating that your grandmother had LIVER cancer and her...
How to cope with family
To the father that loved partying more than his child
I feel sorry for you. I feel sorry that you like drugs and partying more than you love your child, I feel sorry that you have missed her first smile, her first laugh, I feel sorry that she doesn't cry for you attention, I feel sorry that you will miss many other things her life, I feel sorry that you can't be the father she needs. I feel sorry that when she's older she's going to hate you. I feel sorry that she deserves better than someone like you. The thing is that one day she will have a father figure in her life.
She will have some other man whom she calls when she's in trouble or when she needs to feel love. You won't be the person she depends and I feel sorry for that too. I feel sorry that when the party is over and you...

This letter is specifically addressed to a second-cousin, Joe Rico, 3rd of Chester, PA., Joanne Harris of Baltimore, MD and Shirley Harris of Trainer, PA. Where do I begin? Hmm. Good question. Well, I currently face some very tough decisions. Just a little history on my problem. In 2005 I had a slip and fall accident and in 2006 I was involved in a motor vehicle accident in 2006; resulting in various injuries. Going from being a caregiver to being an injured caregiver is what I faced. It's a problem that can effect caregivers. What happens when the caregiver - due to injuries - is no longer able to be the caregiver? What happens to the caregiver who doesn't have the financial resources to fall back on when this dilemma arises? Too often people who become caregivers for a parent(s), get...

I am 44 years old, yet I have learned more about life in the last 10 years then I did in the first 34. I have felt loss, grief, happiness, unconditional love, helplessness, and realized that I cannot control everything.
I cannot control everything that happens in my life or the people I love most. My happiness is not controlled by anything that happens but rather the way I choose to react to those things.
To my husband, you have showed me that love does not need to be earned. You have stuck by me in some of the hardest times of my life.
When my daddy was dying you made a promise to be my rock, to take care of his little girl. The words I will never forget you telling him on his death bed were “Don, I have some big shoes to fill but I will take care of your little girl, just like you...

My dearest grand child,
Beta, I may not be around when you will read and understand this letter, but I wish I glare your loving , moonlike, laughing face when you grow up.
Beta, when you grow up people around you may call you a girl ,pour loads of advice on you and keep restriction to do this thing and not to do that thing, may always try to make you aware that you are a girl. But you should always be aware that you are no less than anybody else and mainly so called PURUSH of this world. You can do anything you like ,anything and I mean that. One thing I would like to remind you that strength ,be it physical or mental, remains in the brain. And I am sure my child , my blood cannot be helpless ,agonized ,fearful before this PURUSH dominated society. Our father of Nation, Mahatma Gandhi...

I still remember it clearly; the day you first opened your eyes as you sleep on this neatly laid fabric, and you, covered in a cream white linen to give you the warmth you sincerely deserved. I wasn't only staring for I was fascinated with the feeling of explicit ardor the moment our eyes finally met. This has been a euphoric moment any other soul would love to perceive. I couldn't help myself from caressing your innocent face; brushing down your perfectly rounded cheek, to nuzzling your adorably tiny nose. You are the perfect blessing, I thought to myself. This playful grin faded into a beam for I can't do anything but cry in joy and relief.
Days to months, turning to years-- numerous moments have passed but I still see you as an infant who knows nothing but to give me the delighted...

Dear dad,
I'm writing this to you, not to hurt you, but to heal me. I'm writing this to put all my feelings out on the table and then close the book forever. I sit here wondering how in the world am I 36 years old and you and the subject of you still bothers me as much as it does. How in the world do you have such an impact on my feelings and emotions and my day to day life when I obviously have no impact on yours. How is this possible?? Why at this age in my life do I still long for the father/daughter moments my friends have always had and still continue to have?? Why do I miss something I never really had?? The hurt and anger that go along with just those questions is almost unbearable, but you know what hurts the most? The part that hurts the most is growing up your entire life...

It was the day after my 6th birthday, my mom and dad looked so sad and I couldn't understand why.
They said we all had to talk as a family. That's when I found out my dad was leaving. That was 13 years ago. I as many others have had so much trouble coming to terms with the fact that my parents didn't love each other anymore, and that we would never be together as a family again. It's not something anyone should ever get used to... but more often than not that's exactly what has to happen. I was jealous of those families who were lucky enough to spend Christmas together or even just a meal together. I hated that I couldn't come home and just watch wrestling with my dad everyday.. I was a daddy's girl and the hardest thing for me to do was be apart from him.
I hated the trading back and...

I am at a loss and can't find the words to express my distain for you. Who in the hell do you think you are!!! Hurting my parents the way you have. It must be such a burden to know that everything you touch dies but it wasnt always this way.
I remember when my mom and I went to check on you, you were alone in your highchair, a few saltine crackers on your tray. Your biological mom was in another room with friend's. My mom said stay here with Shawn, I will be right back. I didn't mind, you were my nephew and I adored you. You were family and. back then, we stuck together.
All my life, I did not get along with your biilogical mother, honestly, I didn't care. She has done horrible things to me through out my life so, her not liking me did not hurt a bit. I involved her in things and...

Losing a parent is hard for anyone, but imagine losing your father and best friend all in one. At the age where you haven't even learned the difference between right from wrong yet.
He's your best friend, your protector, your whole entire world.
All of a sudden, he's gone.. forever.
The man you looked up to, the man that took you to the grocery store in your pajamas at 2 a.m, the man who took you to work with him when you would pretend to be sick in the first grade just so you could spend more time with him, the man who loved you and his family more than anything in the world..that man is gone forever.
Of course at only eight years old the only thoughts that could possibly run through your mind when your mom sits you and your siblings down on the couch just to struggle to say...
