Father's Day 2005

Thanks mum & Dazza. Have you folks heard of the author Suzette Haden Elgin? She recommends writing verses as a creative & constructive way of releasing pain. Works for me... glad to share.

Hi Menow,

Hang in there, we are all fragile in different places. I've had similar difficulties, believe me.

I did a search for you and found the old post about the mother's day card. Feel free to use anything you like, these are for anyone and everyone who can use them!

Stormchild wrote: "Let's start our own. We can call it "Hellmark".

Sample verse:

"To Mother, on your special day:
I'm glad that you are far away;
And just because you're such a pill,
I wish that you were farther still."

Remember - it's the thought that counts"

N-joy!

Thanks Stormchild for the support and another GREAT poem!

Stormy - love the card comment about the N-enabler father!

As for me - my Dad is now in a nursing home and free of my N-Mother. Talking with him (over the phone) is now a joy.  He doesn't always have to pass the phone to my Mom.  I will be able to talk with him on Father's Day without Mom's presence in the room.

My poor N-Mom gets frustrated by the minute because she's living by herself.  I think my Dad is so happy to get away from her - and FINALLY - after 51 years of marriage able to be loose of it all.

I completely ozoned Father's Day 2005 and I knew in advance I would. I gave gifts to only two people. Then I dissociated the entire weekend and forgot what day it was until 2 weeks had passed.

On the 6th of July I found out why. He's not my father.
