Thanks guys, you're my angels!!! We went to the graves today and stopped for a nice visit with my fav aunt, so today wasn't as bad as thought. I do put flowers on my dad's grave out of love and respect, but I put the ones on the others for my mom. She used to go with us, but now she's not able. I don't think I could lie and say I put flowers on and not do it...I'm not that good. I have trouble keeping my life...

Got this off line, but it is good to read. Co-dependency is a learned behavior that can be passed down from one generation to another. It is an emotional and behavioral condition that affects an individuals ability to have a healthy, mutually satisfying relationship. It is also known as relationship addiction because people with codependency often form or maintain relationships that are one-sided, emotionally destructive and/or abusive. The...

Beth, I too am dreading this cold weather.  I don't own a coat either. Just a heavy sweater jacket.   DH went up in the attic to light the furnace, and thought he had it, but a couple of hours later, it had not kicked  in.    So, he has  to go back up there tonight and see what's going on.  I hope  he can fix whatever it is, because it's...

thomas, i read quite often on the anxiety board and you also posted this on there too. i liked the post # 6 you posted about codependency(sp?) would you please send that to me and if you think anyone else would like to read it maybe post it here too. i can relate to alot of it and it's one of the subjects we are addressing in my women's group therapy. i didn't quite understand it when we did it the other day,but by...

One year I went to Walmart and bought ornaments in the shape of gold angels and had them engraved with each of my kids and grandkids names.  I have a table top tree and each year I hang them on the tree.  Eventually they will get their own special ornament.   Bev

My dh does most of our shopping too, Sandy.  He has an unusual work schedule and is off by 1:00 pm, so it's easy for him to get in and out of the store on his way home--no rush hour crowds.    When I'm in a store, especially those big box stores, I feel like I'm in a big bubble.  I don't really see much beyond an 8-10 foot perimeter and I'm not comfortable with strangers enterring...

Oh, Sandy, I'm so sorry.  It was really hard the first few years after my mom's death, but after our first son was born, the sadness sort of shifted to happiness in having him to enjoy at that time of year.    It's interesting the way you describe your grandmother.  My grandmother didn't raise me, but because my parents were divorced, and my dad lived with his parents (his bp prevented...

Red, dearheart, breathe (I seem to be giving that advice a lot,  but it's usually effective). I quit the job today--I broke. It takes a special kind of person to work around elderly who are at the end of life, and I'm not that kind of person. I went to my supervisor and respectfully requested to be terminated. He was speechless, but by that time I was crying uncontrollably and I only repeated that I couldn't do this...

welcome back.  I don't know you cos I'm new, but just thought I'd wish you welcome back..  Glad you had a good thanksgiving!  And what was DH stand for? *~ Flicka *~ If nothing ever changed there would be no butterflies
