Where's j0ker????? - Part 2

[Ralph T]

Ralph I'm so sorry. I do hope for the best!

Me too Jan. This is the same daughter that miscarried at 22+ weeks, then had terrible PPD and had to spend 10 days in the hospital getting her life back together. So, there are doubts about the outcome, and fairly fresh memories of terrible angst. Unfortunately neither myself, nor her two sisters could muster up the "oh that is great news" response she was looking for when she told us. This also puts a dent in my relationship with the GF. She wants to travel, and perhaps have a kid of our own. This doesn't bode well.... sigh.

 

[Ralph T]

doing OK , just facing the bitterness of my age, I think I am fine but people say I got angry easily

I find it easier and easier to be angry. Its hard not to snap folks heads off lately......... Seems like most days are Mondays.

 

[jj2]

How can she think about traveling when she had so much trouble the last time.
I bet you are worried sick.

And I know that feeling!! It's not nice but you seem to be stuck there.

Talking about my girlfriend wants to travel, and or have a child of her (our) own. With me being the grandpa of the child of my unwed daughter.... That puts a serious financial/time dent in my future with her.

Yes...... worried sick.

Yes, no doubt. Unfortunately those only come around about every 7 months.

And I know that feeling!! It's not nice but you seem to be stuck there.

Yep.... I'm tired of being cranky.... Sigh.

You are unhappy and things are out of control so don't be too hard on yourself.

 

[Ralph T]

Yeah, for a brief moment in time I had a whiff of "happily ever after". Who knows what the future has in store... I guess.

that's sad but we have to face it

Yep. There is no turning from it.

 

[jj2]

I can understand why you are a big gruffy...I'd be a little miffed too.

But that is me.

 

[Liscab]

I have a cat that I have to feed just for charity and I havn't touched the cat in years

Daughter was looking for a rallying cry of support. It was hard to meet that need. I finally told her that I still love her, but that it was going to take some time for everyone to get used to the idea.

Well that sucks.... Flea collars and tender vittles can get freaking expensive!!!!! Does she at least rub against your leg once in awhile?

Cr@p happens Jan. I will adjust. It's what Dad's do.

I hope she understood that you love her but worry about her and you don't quit understand how she could do this to herself...to the whole family.

Yep mom's too and we bend to where we almost break!
