I need a hug
Really, I am soo depressed. I can't go into much here but basically I have just been forced to disown my mentally troubled sister (whom was recently involuntarily committed) because of her lying and manipulating ways.Also I have had it with my BIL who's continued stupidity continues to let my sister get her own way and is enabling her lying, cheating and perhaps even stealing.
FYI- for those of you who may remember, I posted a question here in the Lounge about evicting someone? This is directly related to that--my BIL did manage to kick the asshole cheater out but the troubles are just getting worse it seems.
So therefore I need a hug or even a funny (anybody got some great lolcats?) otherwise I am just going to dissolve in tears...:cry: :cry: :cry:

9. hugs always welcome..
no matter what. At least I have two kitties at home to help--I call it "purr therapy".
Its harder when I am at work with little to do and thus dwell on the unpleasant...
Thank you!:)

13. Sue, I'm sorry that you've had to go through this.
Maybe you should just let yourself cry; sometimes I feel so much better afterwards.

I know that you have health problems of your own, so please take care of yourself. You only have so much that you can give.

By the way, don't forget to breath. (I often find that I'm holding my breath when I'm under a great deal of stress.)

:hug::hug:

14. Thanks IHAD!
Trust me been doing plenty of crying. And FYI, even though a certain someone is really really really busy, he's also been trying to help as best he can with some very supportive e-mails.
Good to hear from you. And yeah, this has not been good for my health.:-(
One good thing is my new job seems to be going pretty good though...

18. I'm glad that the new job is going well.
I know how much stress a bad job can add.

I'm also glad that you're getting support from your special friend. :)

16. Hang tough, tutlensue.
:hug:

This may hurt, but distancing yourself from the drama is the healthiest thing you can do. You can't take responsibility for changing someone else's life. And you can't sacrifice your own life to try to do it. :(

:hug:
Please stay strong. Do what you need to do.

19. Thanks, ThomCat
I am indeed hurting myself (some of the old symptoms are back sadly) but I can't stand watching this happen especially with my three year old niece caught in the middle.
When I went to visit my sister at the hospital she didn't want to leave and screamed "Mommy, mommy, mommy" at the top of her lungs and had to be physically restrained. It took two of us to get her into her car seat...a few days later I was playing with her and although she seemed her normal happy self she told me that she "makes people mad" and also she "makes people cry"..which considering she is the most loved child I have ever seen is heartbreaking...this deal is ripping my whole family apart....:(
