Related: About this forumI had an online appointment with my therapist today. Rich goes for his PET tomorrowTuesday. I am nervous. Have not
received a card from "family" She called four times over the week end. Told me sister has covid and wanted to know if that is normal. I told her it was , since she works in a nursing him. Preceded to tell me about the flies in her house. I said i need to go. Called again and told me about all the people in her family that died from cancer. Called on Sunday, left a message that this was her mother calling and she shit me out, she owes me nothing. Sister is screaming in background about getting a taxi down to Pittsburgh. Also for Father's Day they want to get a combined Husband/ Wife headstone. I am to chip in. Got one more but didn't answer it, No calls since, No card for Rich, My sister does not and never had cancer, She had a polyp removed, Rich was in PreMed at Cornel. I spent two years in the Nursing Program at Penn State. . It breaks my heart that after spending my entire summer carting them to and from Pittsburgh and sending her balloons, flowers, candy and a teddy bear for a made up cancer, I should have known better as when his parents died, no cards were sent. I guess we should block the phone, The old thing about all of this is that I was 2 classes from getting my PhD in Art Therapy for abused and troubled teens, and I can't put it together why she has always treated me so awful.

When it seems you have problems, boy does everyone have problems.

It's a fusion recipe for getting past that which freezes one's life and keeps happiness just out of one's reach:
One bit new age
One bit old testament
One bit old Sicilian folk saying.

(6,639 posts)Always glad to have you share your journey with us here. Even when there are some rocks in your road.
I've always had the idea that a family is something that you make, not something that just happens. Blood is just NOT thicker than water.
Just a bonus, you have one here.
