On 5/9/2014 Rainbows and Roses said:Yes I got a flight. Yes i will stick with the therapy and I am taking off my Just last night you said you could not get a flight out for a week, so odd the reason you gave for the leaving weeks early was BED BUGS yet not 1 mention of the bugs in this post. And you also said last night you spent 1, 000 on new clothes seemed like jeans etc. If you are truly living on a very fixef income a Texas shopping spree is not a wise choice. sons numbers on my telephone so I won't be tempted to call him.........I don't remember them anyway so removing them will keep me strong to walk away and if he calls I will talk and tell htil he im I love him but I am not making calls to them...........I am sorry about the grandbaby but his wife told me I would never know her very well anyway this week.......so I have had some joy but for a brief moment and one day my son will need me again and I hope that I will honor him but the word says to forgive 70 x 70 per day and that is 144,000 times a day to forgive someone........until her works out his issues with me we will not get along. I just could have used this money for many things...........that upsets me to because I spent so much money to see the baby and it would have been worth it had she known me but she will not remember and she would hold her arms to come to me and smile so precious and I think maybe the mom got jealous.......who knows.........good night to all. I can't find my nice gown I had on the sofa and so I guess it is lost and I am sleeping in my t shirt and jeans...........not comfortable but anyway i want to find my beautiful gown........that is really all I have in human form my things because I sure don't have the love I so need. OK goodnight.

R&R I really am very truly sorry that your visit wasn't more enjoyable, and that you are leaving early, but maybe it's for the best for everyone involved.
I'm not sure, and maybe someone can tell me if I am right or wrong, but, I think that the Asian culture is very matriarchal in nature. And if that's true, then it would only be natural that your d-i-l would listen to her own mother.
I'm sorry that you won't get to see Jasmine, but hopefully you took pictures.

I feel bad for you R&R. Last posts I read you were having a wonderful time with the baby, taking her for walks in he stroller, shopping, etc.... I don't know what has happened since then, but it sounds like the trip turned sour. You were so happy to go. I was hoping that everything would work out. So sorry you had to leave early.

Last I read, son wanted to have a talk with his mom when he got home from work.
That was Tuesday, I believe.
What has happened between then and now, I don't know. I haven't been here for the past couple of days.

I'm sorry to hear you are leaving...but please try to go on a high note.
Thank them both for their hospitality...let your son know you love him...kiss the baby and DIL.
You won't be seeing them for some time, leave them on a positive note...no feeling sorry for yourself (at least not that they can see.)
Your son took you to see some sights, you spent a lot of time with Jasmine...think positive.
Please also make sure to start therapy and work at it. It's not easy, but the assistance of a professional can help you learn ways to cope with your situation in life - and make yourself happier and more content.

the asian culture is a very respectful culture and it goes against our principles to show disrespect to elders, any elders, even elders that you don't like.
if i were to ever disrespect my mother in law in front of my extended family, i'd get both a verbal thrashing and also the finger wave. the finger wave is the worst. it means that you have shamed your family. just imagine a group of people shaking their heads and waiving their fingers at you as to say 'tsk tsk.'
i rather face a room full of bed bugs than a room full of finger waivers. i'd at least have a chance against the bed bugs. lol!

I'm not sure if I've ever even commented on your threads before, R&R.......but I'm going to now because this is excellent advice terrier has given you. Please take the time to really read it and let it sink in. You will never regret taking the high road and leaving on the most positive note you can.
Good luck and God Bless....

Agreed. Don't burn bridges.
None of us knows what the future holds for any of us.
Go to therapy and stick with it, no matter how hard it gets. A good therapist will challenge you, and not just go, "Oh, poor baby." and offer you tea and sympathy.

My first profession was as a social worker. I have just gone back to p/t work as a certified family counselor.
The advice I gave wasn't as a professional though. In therapy, R&R will follow a journey and come to a place where she can make her OWN more positive decisions and family interactions.
It won't be easy changing a lifetime of patterns, especially with her physical challenges.
That's why I think it is REALLY important that she leave on a high note (no mention of Mother's Day - big deal, it's just a day on a calendar, a Hallmark holiday!). Just be thankful for her family, her precious granddaughter and life.
