Someone tell me why in the hell I have to be strong. My daughter passed away in 2006 and I got told I had to be strong for everyone, so I haven't grieved. My son was found guilty on Thursday for something he did not do and could face up to 30 yrs in prison and I get told I have to be strong. WTF!!! This hasn't happened to the person telling me this, she has both her kids and they are up and working. And she is telling me not to have a "pity Party" (her words) Who in the hell does she think she is?
This has my BP going crazy. I don't handle stress well, not everyday stress and not compounded stress. If I manage to stay out of the hospital this time it will be a miracle. I want to run, I want to cut, I want to scream and cry. But I can't cuz this damn person has put it into my head that I have to be strong for everyone else. THese are my kids this stuff is happening to. These kids are my life. I live for my family. I just don't understand. And of course her telling me this crap has my voices really wound up. They are going a 100 mph right now. I did have some reprieve when my pastor's wife and my therapist camen to house to pray with me, I think I will get my mom on the phone and have her pray with me. Maybe that will help for an hour or two again. Where do ppl get off saying this crap? Posted on 11/07/09, 05:11 pm |

They probably dont know what to say or how to handle it. She is probably trying tough love but honestly she does ot have a clue. Best thing is to ignore her and anyone else who says similiar things. Surround yourself with supportive people as much as possible. I am so sorry you having such a tough time. Katie xx

Stiff upper lip attitude leads to mental breakdowns it doesn't work ignore her she has a lot to learn about the realities of the harder side of life and placing the idea that you should react in a certain way on your shoulders is rubbish, react however the hell you want to its your pain not hers your life not hers and if this is from a friend think twice about who is around enriching your life better.
You hold on because its what your darling daughter would want for you as her loving mother, you cope because your son will and does need you but if you have to stand on the roof and howl at the moon to cope then do it you have to get through this nightmare time and l hope you are in councelling for all this. l'm not surprised you're triggered so badly, l'll pray for you too give your mum a call she loves you.

I'm with Vicky. You live in frikkin Nebraska not Darbyshire. That old stiff upper lip crap never made any sense to me. We evolved these feeling for a reason ... not to keep them bottled up to the point where we start messing round with things we ought not to be.

Thanks everyone. Yes I am seeing a therapist. I wouldn't make it without her.
I didn't talk to this person yesterday or today cuz I needed a break. And the sad part is is that it is my own sister saying these things to me. She got mad at me when I told her she had no idea as to what I was feeling and that I prayed she never would. I just hate it that she puts this crap into my head cuz the voices just feed off it. THank you for your prayers, they do help.
