Nicely done. When you are a child and you say \"I\'m hungry\" and your parent says \"no you are not\". You are happy and you hear \"wipe that smile off your face.\" There is nothing to be happy about. And why so sad, cheer up. You pick a color,and you hear \"that\'s a stupid color.\"
Soon you realize, that what others think is more important than your own feelings. And you are screwed until you get therapy.

I do it at times - in or out of church. If someone is grumpy, or gives me a dirty look, etc, my \'nervous disposition\' starts up.
Then I get to a stage after a while of thinking \'F...them\' (pardon me!), and my fearfulness can change to anger, including being angry with myself. I say \' Come on now, snap out of it; you can only be yourself\'! I would never be my true self otherwise.

\'Escaping from Life\'s Prison.
swingline said:
On his death bed my father asked me to take care of my mother after he was gone . That was in March 2000 . I had just separated from my soon to be x wife . In the previous December (1999) I underwent two surgeries for thyroid cancer . In January I started radiation treatments . During all this time from January til March I was sitting in the hospital with my father helping my mother to take care of him . During this time since I lived in another city I moved in with mom to help . I sat in the hospital 12 hours a day just weeks out of surgery and suffering from radiation sickness . Even after all that I was a pall bearer at his funeral . All that was 17 years ago and since then I have taken care of mom who is an invalid now . I helped her throught 5 surgeries and countless trips to the emergency room during that time . She will be 92 in a couple of months and presently going strong . So I\'ve sacrificed 17 years to keep a promise in which I feel trapped but I would do it all again . During all this time my faith in God has been tested over and over again . But each test I passed and my faith became stronger and I no longer feel trapped but blessed .

This poem speaks volumes to me. I was stuck in a rut for quite a long time all because I did not want to hurt anyone if I left my hometown to follow my dreams. I am happy to say that I finally got out of the prison that I was stuck in just by pursuing my course in life. Thank you for your work here.

Those truths are just there, they need not be obstructions but just be accepted and then we can move on.

My last wife and I cared for her grandfather the last two years of his life . He had Alzhiemers disease . My wife was a nurse so she quit her job to take care of him 24/7 . Even then we had to hire outside help . We had children also so the strain on everyone was telling . It\'s so sad to see someone simply fade away .
