Being Ignored!

I hear that tennisplayer...hate to think of how many times I thought posting would be the kiss of death to a thread, but somebody usually came to my rescue and became the thread killer instead. LOL I have thick skin after many years on forums/message boards, and dang, if I took a powder from a forum every time I "thought" I was being dissed, I wouldn't have any cyber pals. None. Zip. Zero. And I'd be sentenced to a life of silence. Well. Cyber silence.

I'm a member of another forum that Keesha is on. Because so many feel worried, as was I, I checked on that forum yesterday and today...and am happy to tell you Keesha was there yesterday.

Keesha's in another forum and she never mentioned it to me. I've been so worried about her. 53 heartfelt replies of concern here in her thread and no response. Now who's being ignored?🤷‍♀️🙈

I’m so sorry and embarrassed for my insecure post. Sometimes being so truthful and spontaneous doesn’t mix well.

Sometimes I get far too fragile and scare myself. After writing this opening post I was embarrassed to come back. Somehow I really underestimate people sincerity.

Lara is right that I’ve been taking care of my parents who haven’t been doing well. My mom had a stroke 5 weeks ago and they won’t let her out of hospital. During this time her physical and mental health has seriously deteriorated and some of the things said were horrifying. I do understand that much of it is due to brain injury.

My father had his license taken away last year after a stroke but still thinks he can drive. I drove him over 30 times to the hospital. In fact I’ve tried to do everything for them both over the last month in hopes that I can delay or change the inevitable. It’s difficult watching your parents go senile and lose the life they once had. In fact it’s horrible.

Surprisingly I didn’t expect to feel like this.
Skeletons have come flying out of the closets unexpectedly and trying to process all of this stuff is crazy difficult. I’ve been trying to keep two households running smoothly and efficiently and I am succeeding. That’s where I’ve been.

Wi fi isn’t great there but I haven’t been back at this site since I posted here except accidentally while clearing my cache and I don’t subscribe to any threads ever. I do belong to another site where I have posted a few short sentences. I sincerely was scared to come back.

Once I read all of these posts I couldn’t believe it. 😮This experience has really shown how twisted my perception can be at times , not only of myself, but of others and I’m so sorry for whimping out. It truly was a whiney thread but your responses were so gracious and heartfelt.

Thank you so much for being the kind of members you are. I’m most appreciative.
This was eye opening in the most beautiful way imaginable. ❤️💕❤️

It's okay...you must be stretched really thin by now. It sounds like you've got more on your plate than you can say grace over! We understand. Really, we do. Just keep putting one foot in the other. And one more thing: feel free to vent or rant or say here whatever you feel like you can't say around family.

When we are spread too thin, when a big part of our lives hurt us, when there is a great sadness inside - it colors all of your world.

Be extra kind to yourself. Find some time, even if just a little, to have time for yourself. An extra 5 minutes in a warm tub or shower counts, say "This is my time, for me."

Hugs
 
I know what you mean about caring for very sickly elderly parents, sorry to hear about your mom's stroke, that's very serious for sure. My father in law had a major stroke that left him paralyzed and bedridden, we had him and my mother in law live in our home for their final years. Hope things start to look up for you.

Keesha, don't feel bad about your post! When we are looking after someone, we are kept so busy and it is so stressful, it sounds like you had more than your share to deal with. During these times, we need to talk to someone and let it out rather than keeping it all bottled up. It is so much better for us to "let it out" so again, don't feel bad about it. You were doing what you needed to do!
