Do you have a thought, a memory, something that just needs to be let out?

Asked by chyna (51628points) October 3rd, 2011

It just occured to me that this Thanksgiving will be my first one in my entire life that I won’t be spending it with my mom. The thought is kind of just choking me with pain and fear. Do you have anything you want to share that just needs to come out?

Lot’s actually but I have found throughout my life consistantly that anytime I had ever tried they in some way turned around and used whatever I shared, confessed or talked about against me to intentioanlly hurt me.

So I really just keep it as generic as possible. I don’t hide very much about myself, I take my hits for my issues and I keep on truckin.

But it might be nice to one day meet someone who isn’t actually looking to hurt me. It always seems to just turn out that way. I don’t know why?

ANd then I react like an idiot and go even lower than they do out of hurt and a constancy of dissappointment and screwed over hope.

@chyna I have nothing that needs sharing at the moment, just know that the pain and fear ease over time. I don’t know if it actually lessens or we just get numb to the pain, but it does get better.

My dog Mikey…it’ll be our 2nd Turkey day without him. He made it more fun than anyone.

He’d wake up early go to the oven, watch us put the bird in, then lay beside the oven all day crying, wimpering, loudly yawning with occasional yips to us to remind us to check and see if the bird was done yet.

My son balled just a few days ago from missing him. Mikey’s been gone one year now :( It’s not easier.

In one year we lost Mikey (our most talkative dog), Tigger (our most talkative cat ever…he said Mama), and Lovely (our loudest parakeet ever). Even though we have a multitude of pets, our home is too quiet.

@SpatzieLover I know, the silence in my house now is deafening. I lost my dog 3 weeks ago.

:( I’m so sorry for your loss @chyna. :(

It feels like it’s so thick you could cut the silence some days.

Reading is really boring sometimes. I’m going to try this audiobook thing. Also, I started watching Mad Men, and I really like it (I’m in the middle of the second season). I’m not fond of T.V. series, but I like this one. It seems different from the rest.

When moving from France to Canada, I was with my mom at a bus station in Winnipeg. She bought me a 7-Up. I forgot it on some table, and remembered it like 20 minutes later. I asked if we could go back for it, and she was all like, no way! That sucked.

I’m not making a joke or anything, and it’s understandable that we couldn’t go back for it, but it made me sad lol, and for some reason I always remembered this.

I am so sorry for your losses everyone. You guys are killing me; I feel so bad for everyone, your pain is so fresh and raw. I lost my mom in 1999, and then between 2005 and 2009 I lost my 18 year old cat Bugsy, then my favorite uncle, then my father and then my 21 year old cat Casper. It wiped me out kind of. I know how the silence can be deafening and the pain and the absence of someone almost more than you can bare. It gets better but missing them never goes away entirely, not the not missing people you loved and not missing the animals you loved.

After years and years of wanting her, I finally got my chance, and I did my best to kiss her like she’s never been kissed before.

@Fiddle_Playing_Creole_Bastard That is the most awesome thing I have heard all week! Maybe month!

Good luck to you both! ♥

My uncle Stephen was shipped out to Afghanistan.
There, a few months ago, he lost his legs after stepping on a landmine.
Though he is technically my uncle, he is actually a year younger than I am. To think that at twenty years old, he is already wheelchair bound for life, is weighing heavily on my mind.
On top of that, he was in a video on CBS, in which his response to whether we were making gains out there or not, was rather depressing.

I just wanted to share that, and thanks @chyna for posting the question that allowed me to.

@Prosb Thank you for sharing. ((((((Healing Thoughts)))))) Sent to your uncle.
