I should be so lucky! email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 98/100. Humbug25 (4101)   ranked 76 out of 38,083 in life11 months ago

Sure I have had my ups and downs in life just like anyone else. Sure I married an idiot and had a loveless, strained and abusive relationship with him but I am lucky to have three beautiful children to show for my trouble!! LOL lol My younger brother has had very little problems in his life just going through a divorce which was very amicable. He has now remarried and has a beautiful baby boy. My older brother, however, hasn't had things so easy. At the age of 18 he joined the army only to be dashed of his dreams and discharged on medical grounds. He then married a woman he fell deeply in love with at the age of 21 and she was 47. He was the breadwinner and glorified babysitter to her 3 kids. He got a divorce and married another woman. They had a son who later died of cancer at the age of 3. That marriage didn't survive either and is now unable to see his daughters from this marriage on a regular basis. He has now married again and has two lovely twin boys. He has filed for bankruptcy twice during this relationship and one of his sons has got problems with his hip. Luckily my brother is a happy go lucky type of person and has been able to cope with what life has thrown at him.

Do you consider yourself to be lucky in life?

i can't say that i consider myself to be lucky in life... but i always try to be grateful for what i have and what God has given to me... i believe that His blessings are abundant and sufficient for me and i am quite content with what i have now... i try not to be greedy in this life and just be happy with what i have... i believe that whatever things happen in my life whether it is good or bad, it is in His hands and they all happen for good reasons... take care and have a nice day...

I do consider myself lucky. In he sense hat I dbeter count my blessings than grumble about the things that I do lack. Up till now I am healthy and I can work, I have a stable job. I have aloving family, an adorable son. I am not saying that my marriage is rosy, i has its ups and downs like anyboyd else. We have our disagreements.. I hope htat you manage to settle with someone who can really love you and your kids. You seem a very lovable and warm woman.


myLot reputation of 98/100. Humbug25 (4101)   ranked 76 out of 38,083 in life  11 months ago

Hi ronaldinu

Thanks that's very sweet of you! I do believe that I am a good person and I deserve to be with a guy who is going to treat me right so I will not settle for someone who is second best to me, rather someone who is my sole mate. At least going through the marriage I did, has made me stronger, but it is not the recommended route I would advise anyone else to take! LOL lol

Thanks ronaldinu and I hope you and your wife can sort your differences out, read Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus it might help both of you to understand where you are both coming from! Take care my friend. thumbup

No, not lucky. I would have to say that I made my own luck in my life by hard work. I have always worked hard but looking back I can see that in my deepest moments of despair a ray of hope was given to me. This happened every time and so many times. I am sorry for your brother and wish that he could get to see his girls. Perhaps because he has this type of personality that he is able to cope with it all. What a pity that his children cannot see their cousins. I do hope that it works out o.k. for him


myLot reputation of 98/100. Humbug25 (4101)   ranked 76 out of 38,083 in life  11 months ago

Hi ya cynthiann

I think he seems to attract the same sort of women and he is easily walked over by them. He is just a nice guy and he's a great father to his kids. I think that when he girls grow up they will decide for themselves that they can come and see their dad when they like and what a great dad he is. It's just a shame he is missing seeing them grow up. What goes around comes around and I believe his time will come!

Thanks cynthiann

yes, we all haveour problems. Your brother has had more than his share of them. I'm so sorry for the loss of the baby. It's very hard to lose them of all the babies when they leave us.
We have had our problems which I won't go into but all through life we had had huge obsticales to over come. What doesn't kill us makes us stronger.


myLot reputation of 98/100. Humbug25 (4101)   ranked 76 out of 38,083 in life  11 months ago

Hi there moondancer

Humans sure are built of strong stuff and can usually cope with any situation thrown at us. I don't think there are many situations I couldn't cope with because I have a loving supportive strong family behind me!

Thanks for your response thumbup

My prayers are with your brother!
I have had a h*ll of a life myself.
While growing up I was sexually and physically abused by my dad and sometimes physically abused by my mom. I was psycologically abused by my mom, dad and sisters. I finally managed to get away from home at age 25. I have been fired from EVERY job that I have ever had in my life. I've been homeless 4 times.
Now I'm 50 and on Disability. I live in San Diego in an apt complex for people on Disability. Because of all the abuse I suffered from, not only as a child, but, as an adult, I suffer from Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Major Depression, Borderline Personality Disorder, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Anxiety Disorder and major anger issues. I have a tendency to isolate a lot. If I get out of my apt 3 times a month I'm doing good. If I'm without my medication for a week or longer I get suicidal. I don't want to commit suicide, but, because of the chemical imbalance in my brain it can't be helped. So, I take my medication. LOL! Because I have a fast metabolism my medication leaves my body before it has any real affect on my brain, but, if I take over and above the recommended dosage of the medication for it to really start working on my brain then I start having seizures. It's a lose-lose situation for me. I'm da*ned if I do and I'm da*ned if I don't. So, I have to just take the normal dosage.
Life is pretty comfortable for me though. I have Mija (my cat). She is my buddy and I don't know what I'd do without her. She really keeps me going and gives me a reason for getting up everyday. I have a 36" screen T.V. (I love my horror movies! LOL!) and I have my laptop. I feel that I'm sitting very pretty. Actually things have been better for me now than they have been my entire life.
I'm also a born again Christian in that I've accepted Jesus Christ as my personal Lord and Saviour. He helps me through so much and I'm so grateful for all that He has done for me. When I do die I know I'm going to Heaven to be with Him and this makes me so happy!
Have a great day and an even better one tomorrow!
Purrs,
Catwoman=^..^= & Mija

Hi kellyjeanne

Thank you for sharing some of your life story with me and I do hope things improve for you and you are able to go out in the sunshine of San Diego more often. I stayed there for a while at the Banana Bungalow and really enjoyed walking in the sunshine across the beach and watching the sun set, got some great photos from that.

Thanks for your response thumbup


myLot reputation of 95/100. kellyjeanne (924)   ranked 7,117 out of 38,083 in life  10 months ago

Thanks, Humbug! I appreciate that. I have a pretty decent life, especially with Mija. Take care my friend!
Purrs,
