Dear Lauren, I am sorry I did not post sooner, I have had a real bad day and have been in bed most of the day. I am sorry about the hospital siutation, it will resolve itself. Tommarow is going to go great! I know it will. Let me know. God bless, Debbie.
Thank you for the encouragement. I went and saw her today. She felt guilty about not being able to make it to the shower, so I went and bought something for her to gove to the baby. Me and my husband came home adn he helped me soooo much. Everything is set to go. I was just so angry at the whole situation. But all I could do is go visit her, bring some flowers. It isn't my faul I couldn't be there more. I was so mad that I was shaking and all red. But I am better now and have everything ready for tommorow. Thanks again for listening.
Hey Lauren!
It's so hard dealing with this and then having to deal with other people also! Let yourself be angry. That is a rotten thing he did to you! Go scream into a pillow. What I like to do when I get really angry or frustrated is turn up the radio really loud to some angry music and scream to it. My favorite is Marilyn Manson's version of Sweet Dreams. I turn it up loud and scream out the song with him. It really helps.
Be there for your mother. I know she's been going through a hard time according to your last few posts. Just let her know she's not alone and that you love her. That's the most important thing right now.
As for the baby shower, do what you can. Take some shortcuts if you need to - and don't beat yourself up over it! Recruit people to help you with it like your husband or kids, if you're married or have kids. Ask someone who is coming to the shower that you are comfortable with to help you. Explain what is going on and how you are feeling to this person and ask her for some support in getting things done. People are always willing to help - it makes them feel important. ;p
I know it's tough right now, but hang in there! You are stronger than you think - I promise!
As I write this, I am fuming and getting so mad and upset. I have this shower to throw tommorow at my house and I get a call from my mother in law because she is in the hospital. Thing is she has been for the last 48 hours and my father in law, whom we are feuding with for the last few months, never even called us. I am soooo mad at him. She has been on meds so she couldn't call. And here is the thing, he is such a jerk, he didn't even go to the hospital to see her. So she has been there alone for this whole time. I am sooo mad and now I am stressed cuz I have sooo much to do for the shower but we have to go see here. I am worried I will panic. I can't though. I think I will be ok. I kep taking deep breaths and telling myself all I can do I go see her. Getting mad won't change anything, right? But gosh I can't help it. Who the heck does he think he is. I am sooo mad but must calm down. Sorryt to rant to you all but I have to get this anger out.
