Long story, but I will try to make it short. My mother left me when I was 4. My father raised me and my sister and he has always threated us that he was going to "run away" or "kill himself". It has really had an emotional toll on us. A year ago my father pulled one of his stunts and we couldnt find him and when we did my sister was so mad and told him that he needed to get help and she did not want him to contact her or her family (boyfriend and daughter) until he got help so my dad took her to court to sue her for grandparent rights to her daughter. I was supoened (sp) to court and they asked me if my dad threatened suicide and i told the truth and now my father is not speaking to me either and the rest of my family is angry at me and my sister and is treating us badly and will not allow us to come around or see my sick grandma. I am very hurt bc I tried to stay out of the whole thing and now I am being treated as if I did something wrong. How am I suppose to deal with this? I dont know what to do.

I am in the same kind of catch. My mothers dad will not let us talk or see any of 'his' family, and my grandmother (my mums mum) is also very ill and we are wating to hear if she has cancer. So i can relate to a surten extrent. All i can say, is you cant do anything. As far as i can see, nothing is your falt here, they just cant see what has really happened. Sooner or later you may find that they shall contact you. But other than this, i can say if you really want to carry on trying to talk to them.

I really do hope i helped in anyway possible. And if you ever want to talk, i am here =]

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
