I've been "blessed" (can you smell the sarcasm LOL) with an Nmom and a real Ndad. Last night I wrote Ndad an email asking about his health. He's been having some trouble with his health. He's getting ready to have cataract surgery on the 27th. I eamiled to inquire that this is still going to take place. I can't drive at the moment so he has someone taking him and picking him up and taking him home.
Well I wrote him a week ago about finally being diagnosed with Pneumonia and Pleurisy. he never wrote me back.
Our relationship is almost entirely consistent upon email. Every once in a while we go out together for a trip to walmart and then straight home. He does no more than I ask him. but I will give it to him that if I do ask him to do something, he does it. But.......
My damn N dad has gone and upset me now. I wrote him this email. But when I wrote him and told him of my pneumonia he never wrote back to check on me or nothing. Now I am kinda slow with email, I'm always behind and it takes me a couple of days sometimes up to a week to respond. I did respond to him. He wrote back one his hateful assed emails that he was just doing like me taking weeks to respond if I responded at all. I had written him. It was HIS turn to write me back. this is the asshole who wrote me last month and said I didn't answer him fast enough so I was "history".
Once again despite my best efforts to be diligent and stroke his damn ego I was the good daughter. And as usual it bit me in the ass. I just don't think we can win with N's no matter what. maybe he resents me because I won't be there. I offered to have mother carry me to the place that he is having surgery and riding home with him and his friend and taking care of him the rest of the day. But I doubt he even remembers or acknowledges it. he gets drunk and does weed I know. And when he's on it it's mean.
I so need to get him out of my life. But I can't seem to do it, such as it is with narcissists. We have this sick malignant optimism that someone how magically they will change and be what we need them to be.
But the hatefulness just pisses me off.
Thanks for listening. I just needed to vent!  _________________

By the way......
I'm up for adoption. Anyone want to adopt me? I would make a great addition to your family! Already grown and you would get two awexome teenaged boys in the package!  _________________

Hi Windsong, Its always so one sided with them, isnt it? You dont need this in your life. They are not there for you--why are you there for them? Do you think you are not worthy of love and caring? THEY did that to your head. Are you ready to go NC? I think it would really really help you. I would adopt you if I could, but I'm afraid I am having to heal myself also and need to take care of myself. I am having this little spiritual crisis right now, you see.  _________________ Once You Have Been Bitten By A Snake, You Are Very Cautious, Even Of A Coiled Rope.

Hey Oak, (hugs)
I know I don't need it in my life and I had cut him out once but Christmas came and my brother was dying in the hospital and I couldn't get out to get Christmas stuff for my boys and I needed him. There were no questions asked or answered about the fight that started my NC, he asked when and where I needed to go. It lured me right back in. He talked and told me of a nephew that I had that I didn't know that I had. He's the only link to my brother... as my brother is in prison. I seriously don't know if the situation and my desperate "need" to have some kind of family and my dad lured me back in or he did. I honestly wonder if it would mean anything for him to have me in his life. I think it does, but more of just like the mother who says, "You are mine". I think but there's always that doubt there. I so want him to say "You are Mine" because he loves and accepts me for who I am. But then shit like that email happens and the dance macabre starts again. I just said it didn't I?
Crap. Crap crap crap. I can't even imagine ever talking to or being like this to my kids. I wouldn't die of shame and heartache if I ever did anything to hurt one of my kids. I would DIE before I hurt one of my kids or let one of my kids get hurt.
Thanks for listening I'm having one of my emotional weeks I think.
I hate it and will hopefully be over it soon LOL!
Hugs and thanks for listening.

| Some days are better than others. It is more productive to direct your emotional energy towards yourself and your larvae. It is a hard lesson to learn, but you don't want to waste time waiting for people to change.

Hi Justmee,
I sure wish I knew why we hang on to the hope. I was married to the XNP and I didn't put that much hope into him once he got abusive, but it's so different with parents I think. I've pretty much given up hope with nmom, but ndad wasn't always in my life. Mom and the dad divorced when I was three and Mom remarried my step dad who is my real dad when I was four, and he adopted me and I've always had him. I didn't have anything to do with my real ndad till I was 12 and it's been sketchy at best all the way through. One time he moved and didn't leave name or number at 13 or so and I didn't hear back from him till 17. He's too jerky to stay consistent. So I go back and forth just like I said to Oak with the Dance ...
So, me and the kids are on the way. I'm already from the south, so I love the county!  _________________
