i did something that i promised my best friend and husband that i wouldn't do again. i got soo mad at my friend, because, she was having a bad couple of days and instead of leaning on me, she went to my husband. i asked her what was wrong and she kept telling me "nothing." so they left and i was soo mad, i went to her kitchen and grabbed a steak knife. i pulled up my left sleeve and i sliced my arm over and over like an apple. i then raised my shirt and did the same to my stomach. with one thought racing in my mind.... GOT TO END THE PAIN!! now, these cuts hurt, which i want them too. i also want them to go away. i wish i could stop cutting myself. i am just soo angry. i have been for days. 10 years ago, my father committed suicide. it was on the 15th of december. he promised me that he was never going to leave me. he raised me. he treated me like i was his flesh and blood. i miss him soo bad. when it gets closer and closer to christmas, it gets harder and harder. i know this is supposed to be a beautiful time of year, but, i dislike it. i shouldn't be this way, it was my savior's birthday, but, i am mad at his father, for taking mine. i feel like i am a child. its not fair!!!! and now, let me tell you about my mom.... she is in prison. yep,prison. that is so embarrassing. i feel like i am white trash. so again, i am mad at my savior's father for this. i try to be positive and try to be better than them, it is so hard when i talk to family and they say, "well, holidays will be hard on her." meaning my mom. what about me, dam**t??!!! they are worse! i feel like i can only lean on you guys, i can't even lean on my own husband. you guys are the only ones that understand. i just wish my husband gave a crap about me and this issue i have and do some research. i want to lean on him soo bad, but, also, i have to remember, he has a memory problem. has any of you all had to deal with that? it is so hard, i try to remanise with him about things, and he can't remember. i feel like, "ok, they weren't important enough."

i am going to go and try to study now, that i cleared my head and my conscience about the cutting.

ps. i love this forum

Hey Pearcy, I am sorry to hear about you having such a rough time of it, have you been to see a doctor about your wounds? if not you really should, losing a parent at any time of the year is tough, around the holidays makes it even worse.

Hugs

Carmen

Pearcy, you are not white trash. every family has their problems and usually that means that one or more people are in jail. that doesn't mean that it classifies the people that they left behind as white trash or any other kind of trash. I have been raising my niece since she was born because my sister has been in jail. That does not make me or my daughter/niece trash. It makes us survivors.

Be well

BE BLESSED!

very true. thanks so much you are definatly not "trash" and neither am I. i wrote "a better day" if you get a chance, please read it. i am in alot better mood. i got an A on one of my assignments that i have been working on.

i do agree with what you said about survivors. we are because we didn't follow their mistakes. we learned from them.

happy holdiays to you and your loving family.

My dear Pearcy - when you are going through the storms - that is when you need to hold on to your faith more than ever - let your higher power carry you through, for me it is God. There is no way I could make it through this lifetime without HIM. HE will be there for you,just go looking and you will find HIM. My daughter recently went through a very rough period, and I talked to her about this just today, so I will share it with you - She is 21 by the way - I told her I look at my life like a ship with God as the captain and at the steering wheel. Some days are sunny and fun, some days are gloomy and cloudy, and sometime we are in a hurricane. No matter what the weather God is still there at the steering wheel, never leaving his post, making sure we make it through ok. She understood what I meant, and felt better, hope it helps you.

that is beautiful... he sent his beloved son down to endure pain and he was put on a cross for us. to show that God is truly there. i am reminded of the poem "footprints" i do feel alot better. its just when the days are hard, (hurricane) it is so hard for me to see him, to feel him. so then, i feel that he has abandoned me. but, then, as soon as i think it, i hear him say, "i am right here, i will not leave."

merry christmas to you and your blessed family.
