I have not replied to any of your comments but I resent your calling some of us liars or dumb as dirt. I am neither and I do not have family or friends to help. I live with what I have been dealt and do not blame others for my problems.
I'll say it again, Jen, ILLEGITIMI NON CARBORONDUM -- there are lots of us here who love you and don't have any problem at all with your "let it all hang out, wearing my heart on my sleeve" style of writing!
GC, I don't appreciate your comment either in reference to mine above. It isn't written in stone that we have to agree with everything Stuntgirl or anyone else writes.
Jean.....I'm sorry that you think I believe that you are dumb as dirt or a liar. I didn't say that. Go back and read the post. I'm saying that ANYone who believes this is a fun and fulfilling task, and shouldn't be missed, is either lying to us and to themselves or simply dumb as dirt. I'M not having fun living in this hell, are you? No, I don't have family or friends established that can be of support to me, but I DO NOT BLAME OTHERS FOR THAT ISSUE. I blame Alzheimer's. By the way, I started this thread called "Stunt Girl's Very Own Thread"......you (or anyone for that matter) doesn't need to check in here for any reason unless you care about me. I'm not a contentious person but am meeting a lot of them lately.
joang and the censors ....so sorry. No one is allowed to talk here. Surprisingly, the very persons who express hostility have no e-mail to respond to. They wish to remain annonymous for a very clear reason. To be able to make hurtful comments to others without repercussion. Before you wipe off my comments here, would you please go back a page and read the missive I submitted about my attitude about dealilng with this disease? I'm really expresssing how I feel and I know, how many of us feel....even though they'd never utter it. Not wishing anyone harm nor have I been guilty of name-calling or bashing anyone.
STOP READING MY POSTS HERE UNLESS YOU CARE ABOUT ME. STOP IT RIGHT NOW! I'M AS TENDER AS THE REST OF YOU, AN OPEN BLEEDING WOUND MOST OF THE TIME! YOU ARE ONLY MAKING THINGS WORSE AND I HAVE COME HERE FOR SOLACE AND SALVE! SO, KEEP AWAY FROM HERE UNLESS YOU CAN BE TRUE TO THE PURPOSE OF THIS BOARD!
I've been off busy handling personal business, and cannot believe that some people think they have to criticize Jen for being open and honest with the way she feels. I believe she is simply using her personal thread to release some of her innermost thoughts. Unlike some people who have family coming in and out, and others with shoulders to cry on, Jen doesn't. Give the poor woman a break here. I see her humor and feel her pain. She's in a tough spot and she needs support as much or more than many others. What's the old saying about "............. help me never to judge another until I have walked a mile in his moccasins..? I haven't walked in Jen's moccasins, have any of you? That 's my opinion and I'm standing by it.
((Jen)) I hope you are able to get some help for you and your DH. It is a long hard journey into hell, we can all use as much support and compassion as we can find. I haven't been able to read all of the posts, so please forgive me if you have already answered this question.... I am wondering, in the kindest way possible, if you have considered placing your DH? I honestly do know how hard it is to do :( But, sometimes we have to love them enough to let them get the best care they can be given. If you want to talk about it I will gladly offer you support ((hug))
I have just one other comment and I truly hope I do not offend anyone. Truly! Our dear Joan has asked that we not "bicker" on her forum. She puts so much love and devotion into this site. Not just for herself, but FOR US. She has given us a safe haven. I for one would be lost without it. I feel we should honor her hard work by following this simple request. ((HUGS ALL AROUND))
