Sometimes I wish my deeply depressed and mentally ill little brother would just go ahead and do what he's been threatening and alluding to doing for the past two years... Instead of constantly refusing to show up to family gatherings and purposely causing drama and making everything about himself and always doing dumb little things to hurt my mom, (but all the while refusing heartfelt, and at times even professional help). At least then his pain would stop, and our pain as the family watching him suffer could come to an end. Because he's not getting better. He doesn't even want to try.
I confess that this made me just want to give out a big ole {{Granpa Hug}} to you. While I cannot make go all away for you, I do recognize how brave you are for to see the situation for what it is and the hero you are for living this every day.2 -

I was going to ask if you had mounted his testicles over your fireplace, but it sounds like he did not have any to claim as 'spoils of war'.0 -

Well we'll have to see, as that letter is making it's way to her as we speak. She took him back after his last long-term affair so I'm sure she'll forgive this one too. But I still feel like I did the right thing and now I can wash my hands of this big mess

I confess when I see certain individuals (thread hogs) on the forums I just leave until they're gone. Conversely there are some people I look forward to seeing on there.
I will confess, that I agree! There are just lame *kitten* b!tches that have to be the center of attention, and ignore anyone who doesn't idolize them!!2 -
I'll confess I can be repay protective of friends and if someone hurts a friend of mine, even if they were a friend I will have nothing more to do with them.
I've always been like this I guess I won't be changing any time soon2 -
I have once eaten an entire carrot cake and hid the evidence. Silly, and small, but man I felt guilty.1

I hate to admit this, but I'm deeply troubled by my father and his mental stability, as well as his health. Earlier this summer, he had hip replacement surgery, which was needed. However, his 80 year old body hasn't taken it so well. He's still in pain, sleeps more than he's awake and he's lost 25 lbs in about a month. He rarely eats, exercises (walks) or does anything to improve his condition. It's difficult watching this continue...and I'm here every single day taking care of both mom and dad. I finally had enough this morning and told him that if he can't do what he needs to do in his home, he MUST check himself into a rehab hospital.
So I confess: I'm in pain for my parents.
Sorry, not to be a downer. At least it's HUMP DAY!4 -

Sorry, not to be a downer. At least it's HUMP DAY! Sorry you are dealing with this. I totally understand ailing parents. If you figure out how to convince him he needs help let me know. I'm at that point with my parents 1 -

OMG @jaxass - I'm in the same boat My father has bone cancer that recently spread to his lungs. Since he found out he hasn't done anything for himself ("I feel like *kitten* today" is what he always says). He won't get up and get his own glass of water. The other day he shouted up to me in my bedroom to come downstairs to get him the remote for the TV. This morning he wouldn't go out to the front steps to get the newspaper so I had to rush out of the shower to get it for him. My mom was just released from the hospital after having a bad accident ... I told my boss just yesterday that I have no life for myself because I'm taking care of them all the time. True Confession: I'm getting really tired of taking care of my aging parents

Wow Tracy that's tough. When it rains it pours.
My dad had a tumour removed last year and the same week he came home my mom fell and broke her ankle.
Dad's cancer returned so we deal with that and my mom has Parkinsons. We're trying to get them to sell their house and move into some sort of facility but they fight it every step. My mom will just shrug and say well you're the sandwich generation.
Somedays I feel like running away

I confess that This makes me sad and angry because when people are this sick, they're incapable of "trying". Thank god nobody gave up on me when I was depressed and suicidal, which still occasionally happens because mental illness doesn't just go away like a cold.
Hmm, I wonder what part of "don't judge" you and Marilyn Manson up there don't get... Thank you for the lecture on mental illness; as a longtime sufferer of clinical depression myself, (20+ years) I simply just don't understand how depression works.
Nice to see there's no judgement here, until someone dares (God-forbid!) say something actually controversial.
lol you really just call me marilyn manson??
