see my family more

i neer go to family gatherings and i miss my family i havnt seen then in about a year now and they dont even live far away

My mom and her boyfriend Jim are coming from Wisconsin for the weekend and we are going to go boating/tubing/water skiing and I can’t wait! I haven’t seen my mom in months!

I miss being able to freely see my family. This was all taken away from me the day I decided to move out of my alcoholic, and abusive father’s house and make a real life for myself at 18 years of age. He began to spread and still spreads vicious lies about me to this very day. Now my family doesn’t know who to believe and still thinks my father is innocent which is a 360o thought of him. He even went as far as going to the church my youth group was at the time and lied to my youth pastor about being saved. That is what gets me the most, that he lied to God. So long story short, I want to see my family but not him and they still invite him and now that I don’t go I don’t see anyone…and well, I’m not invited anyhow…I pray that one day they will all see him for what he truly is. (before God comes back and they learn the truth way too late.) Also, my mom just moved to Wisconsin & it’s been hard on me thinking of how much she is going to miss out on once I get married and have kids…I don’t want her to miss out on the best parts of my life… – feather

I just saw my family recently at my brother’s wedding. Not only did I see them but I saw many people that I grew up with. It was a wonderful time.

My family is growing up so fast. The two nephews and a niece along the way. It makes it tough to be so far. I am hoping that I can remedy that soon. It is a much more prevailing thought with me now.

People are so wonderful back there and life seems so much calmer. There are some really neat things in LA, like the bike scavenger hunt on Fri…but I am really ready for the next phase in my life. The calm, the settling down, working on my own family. Those are the things that I really want.

I’m going to see my dad this year, even if I have to go by myself. I haven’t seen him in almost 11 years. :(

So, I did start seeing my family more, and every time I would go see them which was a 2 hour drive. They bugged the S*&^ out of me. They hae a whole lot of drama, stuff I don’t care about. They pick on each other, act like 10 year olds, i’m not into it… it was worth doing though, I got closer to my mother than I have been in YEARS. And my brothers miss me still to this day but, my older one calls me almost every day too.

I received a call from my dad yesterday. He said that he had dreams about me and wanted to know if I was ok. He said that he’s been depressed lately because of the deaths of his mom and his brother, but moreso because he hasn’t seen me in over 10 years. He’s never seen his son in-law or his grandchildren in person, only in pictures. I really need to see him again. :(

Today i spent more time with my nannan and cousin
An hour & half, and helped clean up [:

I haven’t seen my father in 10 years! The last time I’ve seen him was at his law school graduation. He hasn’t even met my husband or seen my kids, except for in pictures. We’ve tried to make a trip to Maryland to see the family, but something always comes up, like bad weather or not having enough money to go. I have two halfsisters graduating from high school very soon and I would like to see them off to college.

How the hell am i going to afford to go to sydney or chicago? im only 18 for christs sake. I have no money. I really want to though seeing as havent seen any of them since my dads funeral – 10 years ago. Ill go when i look a bit better though, after ive lost the weight etc, dont want to give them a bad impression of their youngest niece now do I?
