so im 19 and married with kids
but my parents are seperated and my dads dragging me in the middle and calling and cussing me out and acting insane and told me he dosent have a daughter anymore because i refuse to take sides
and then hung up on me

so i cried for hours...this hurt and i was so angry but couldnt do a thing about it..
now this isnt the first time hes said mean rude things
i made a desision a few months back to stop talking to him and lead a drama free life
well i forgave him and started speaking again because my family told me i should even though i didnt want too! well today when he acted like that i flipped out and wanted to do something drastic and relaliate AND eat cookies and ice cream! hahahah

instead i laid in bed and cried for 3 hours i fell alseep eventuallty
my husband i guess called my ex best friend
we arnt friends anymore because of a argeument that went unresolved
and havent spoken in 2years...but were friends for almost our whole lives
so anyways my husband i guess didnt know what to do
so he called her and said missy needs a friend can you come over
i guess she came as soon as my husband called
she brought wine and we talked for a good 2 hours
and im so happy she came it ment alot to me
and even more so because my husband knew what i needed
she said he called and said she wont stop crying i dont know what to do for her can you come over please
i think that i have an amazing husband and i wouldnt know what to do without him

    That's so wonderful!!!!!!!! I'm so glad your husband knew what you needed. I'm glad you were able to rekindle your friendship with your old friend, especially at this time.
    It's so hard when parents are splitting up and you're stuck in the middle. It isn't fair of your dad to do that to you.... I can understand your frustration with the whole thing!! I've gone through something similar with my mom and it's hard. You're right, you can't change your dad, all you can do is tell him you still love him and just try to keep going about your own life.... eventually hopefully he will move through the hurt he is going through (HIS hurt, HIS drama, not yours) and come around.
    Hang in there!
    ps, you look fabulous!! awesome job!!!!!!!!!!!!

    thanks you guys!

    i def appreicate my husband for doing that!
    i wouldnt have thought about that helping me haha

    yeah my dad has issues....hes addicted to drinking and has a whole alot of issues
    and has always been mentally abusive so ive learned its better to keep my distance and i feel stupid for falling for his "im sorry" again...but my husband called him tonight also
    and asked him to no longer call me for any reason
    and if he needs something he cal call him(my husband) but has no reason to contact me

    my "dad" is my step dad...but my real dad wants nothing to do with me because he re married
    when i was a baby...ive got alot of issues uggghhh

    but im feeling much better :)

    Sometimes family is not wonderful - my sister can say the most hurtful things in the world to me - I've noticed she does it when she's most stressed and miserable. My mom and I once had a long talk about this and she explained rather smartly that it was my sister's problem - not mine.

    To relay this to you:

    You cannot change your father. You can only change YOUR reaction to him. Don't allow yourself to be sucked into his drama and his misery. You have a wonderful sounding life - great kids, great husband, great health. You're doing so many good things right. Now you have your old friend back on top of it! Congrats!

    Don't like to preach so here's my 2 cents. A wise man once said "Friends are god's way for apologizing for your family". Thank god for friends lol. Much love.

    WOW Missy, you've got some awesome support going on despite the family drama! Your wise hubby reached out to your friend and must have been really listening to that still small voice we all have within us!

    So glad He's there for you and that the choices He made tonight were exactly what you needed!:heart:
    Cheers:drinker: for your best bud knowing enough about you to come running to be there for you...I hope this helped in resolving the past with you both. Friends are sometimes closer to our hearts than family because they know us much differently and are willing to hear us out in the good times and the bad!:flowerforyou:

    Sounds like having a friend come by was exactly what you needed tonight! Your hubby really cares about you in that he is so protective in calling back your Dad to be the go between in future conversations.

    Wow....we meet the ppl in life for reasons unknown to us at the time, then as life unfolds we begin to realize why they truly are in our lives.

    Take extra good care of yourself Hon & I'm glad you have ppl in your life that care so much about you!:flowerforyou:

    thanks fc. I tried to post a comment on your profile, but it wouldn't let me. Thanks for the comment on mine. Much love and good night to everybody.
  • Hey Missy first let me say what a wonderful lucky lady you are to have a husband like you have. Second saw your ticker way to go girl!! My husband is from a divorved family and I know from watching him how awful and stressful it can be. I have watched him be torn in every direction possiable. For me it was so hard to watch and deal with because I come from a very loving family. I would have birthday parties for our children and one or the other would come. At our wedding it was a nite mare all grandparents and parents were gone with in 5 mins of the ceremony finishing. I did the whole 3 partys per child so each grandparent would be involved, holidays were a night mare.. Finally lol my husband said were done. One party. one house for the holiday.. Which pretty much is my family all the time. Which is his choice. Our children deserved better for there holidays and birthdays. His father and step mom were amazing about it and usual join my family for everything. An his mother we just do special things with her in our own way. What I am saying is it does get better but the battle is a hard one and it can knock you around alot. You need to stick to what you believe and 'NO DRAMA" is your rule stick too it. If your father loves you he wont put you in the middle and wont make you make the choice between your mother and him. Remember right now he is just angry and it gets in the way of treating the ones we love the right way. Take care and god bless you and your husband. It sounds like even though your only 19 in age your husband and you both are so very mature. You work well together and as a team. That is really wonderful to see. Good luck and keep trucking on that weight loss!!

    Sometimes the best thing a person can do for you is admit that they don't know what to do and ask for help.

    Your husband definitely rocks!

    I'm do glad that you do have a great husband. Many people would love to be in your shoes there. As far as family goes, they can hurt you more than anyone else ever thought about hurting you. Makes no sense but it does happen. I am glad you and your friend made up. That is great and now you have someone to talk to when you need them. Congrats on the weight loss! That is great! Keep up the awesome work!

    That is exactly how I feel! I love that quote - thanks!

    MIssy - so glad your hubby knew what you needed, and that you've reconnected with your friend. In my experience, I find that some family members take advantage of the "family" connection and spew whatever they are feeling (regardless if it is warranted or not) without regard for the other person's dignity or respect. I try to respond to these kinds of unwarranted attacks with a simple message that while I love him/her, I refuse to be subjected to such behavior and remove myself until the person has a chance to calm down. Easier said than done, I know - but friends (and loving SO's) make it much more feasible! Hugs. :flowerforyou:

    I'm so sorry about your parents and the way your dad is treating you. That's just wrong. I hope things will eventually work out. :flowerforyou:

    I'm glad something good came from something bad in that you and your friend are now reconciled. You do have a wonderful husband. You are so blessed. :flowerforyou:

    It's crazy how we always seem to want what we can't have. My bf and I just got back together and I had the same problem with him... he was just TOO nice. During our separation I met and fell for a total jerk... then I realized what a moron I was being and dumped the jerk. I never actually thought my bf and I would get back together. About 6 weeks ago, I had eye surgery and he offered to help me... and I realized what I had given up due to my stupidity.

    Congrats on getting back together :)
