First of all, if you read this entire thing, I will be more than surprised... I do tend to get naggy when I let it all out. But you guys told me I should come here for letting it all out, right? D:

Well, mainly, the reason I've been gone is that I haven't been feeling well. No, not sickness, but more like depression's rearing it's ugly head again. Blah blah, teeange angst right? Not really. My life is going good, minding the fact my father's dying right before my eyes.

Every day he tells me he's going to die soon. Every day he tells me that he might not be around forever. Every day he tells me that I never loved him.

Excuse me, what? I love the man half to death. Ungh. Mom says he's just trying to make it so I miss him less, but that will never work. I love him, always.

Although, there will be some things I don't miss. Like, him calling me names, making fun of weigth, and making fun at my looks.

I know I'm not the skinniest lil' b***h around, but I'm just a little chubby. I admit that. Anyways, my dad likes to have the habit of calling me Dumbo, because he says I look like an elephant. 'A big walrus'. Ha, funny funny man you are, a*****e.

Besides that, just recently I was snuggling against him at the table, stretching my arms out, when he noticed my arms. 'Showing your Italian side?' 'Huh?' 'Your hairy gorilla arms.' Now, I'm not one to care about my arms, since they only look hairy because I'm pale, and my hair color is a dark brown, so eh, my bad for being pale. But when my own father says something like that to me? Ouch. It stung, really bad. I literally cried... Well, hid it, because my parents were there.

So, yesterday I shaved my arms and legs and showed him, and he laughed at me, then calling me a freak girl. I wanted to cry. I shaved my arms for nothing.


*Sigh* Sometimes I wish we could back to my childhood memories... Oh, that brings up another reason. Lately, more than ever, I've been having horrible flashbacks whenever I look at people I knew.

Take for instance, this man named Ron. Now, Ron was a two timing son of a b***h, and he helped cause my family to break apart when I was seven. My dad was in debt to him, and they kept it a little secret. Until he told mom. Mom was angry. She took all of dad's CDs (some of my favorites growing up) and sold them. Got his tools, and sold them.

Where's my dad in all of this? In San Fransisco for medical reasons. He'll stay there another few weeks because mommy's mad.

When I looked at that b*****d Ron, it all came back to me. Memories I had gotten rid of, memories that should have stayed gone. But they triggered more.

Our friend Jose yelled at my mom about my father. He was screaming at her outside. I was inside, crying, holding my blankie tight, and wanting him to go away. I always looked up to him, until that point. I wanted my dog to rip him in half.

More memories. About my liking for pain and blood and all that. But we'll save that for another time.

Basically, the worst parts of my childhood.

That was only because of me looking at one man.

At High School, there are some kids I haven't seen for years. Mostly all the ones that tortured me through highschool, and the guy I was foolish enough to like... And have my heart ripped out from me.

No, looking at each bully's face, I remember how they treated me back then. I remember all the punches, the kicks, and most of all the names. Those horrible names...

There are a few girls I remember that treated me like I was nothing, and all the guys loved them. They still do.

How I hate memories.

Anyways, I haven't been online because of all that, and I've been playing RagnarokOnline to help calm me down half the time. Killing stuff rules.

But, I haven't forgotten about you all. I've sent out gifts, gifted people outside of the guild telling them to come here, and mentioned it to my friends on Gaia.

I'll make you guys a promise. As long as I have you guys to help me through these struggles, I'll visit every day, alright?

I love you guys, Thanks for putting up with me.

Oh, Nvr! Yes, yes, yes! Do NOT hesitate to come here and talk--about anything. Now I don't know how much help I would be--but DO know that you have my support and...dang....I wish to goodness that I could give you a hug right now! *HUGS*
Urghhhhh....mean people make me so MAD! I just don't understand meaness--but you'll be sure that won't happen here....Nooooo sir! There are no conditions whatsoever on you being here, luv--just make sure that when you are here, you can enjoy yourself, play some silly games, and know that we understand--thank you for trusting us enough to share. heart



Hey Nvr, Veranuem here (my comp's screwy right now, so I'm borrowing retro's for a minute). I think it's awesome that you feel you can tell us in the guild what you're going through, and know you won't be persecuted for it. Like retro said, that kind of trust is really hard to build up (I'm still working on it, believe me). It looks like you have had a very tough time in life, and it's very admirable that you posted here. We love helping as much as being helped, and we of the GGoA will be here if you ever need someone to talk to. smile heart
Sincerely,
~Veranuem

Oh darn it!! I sent you a gift earlier, but I wanted it to be anonymous, but I dont know if it went through so now I have to ask you!!! crying

Oh girl....reading your post brought back some memories for me. Honey please-please-please believe me when I say that things do tend to get better.
I know what it is like to have your father tease ridicule and belittle you. It is a very hurtful thing to happen. I now live 3 hrs away from mine and see him maybe 1 time a year and when I do...he still has to say something stupid. I honestly believe that now when he says stuff it is because he feels guilty about things, and he doesnt know what to say to me. I feel that ANYONE who treats people that way has problems of insecurity and maybe even more mental stuff going on so they dont know how else to act. I just dont listen to it any more. I know it is easier said than done, but you just have to block it out.
Dont let him bring you down. You hold your head up high and ignore what he says like he is a retarded person that cant control his words. And as far as other people who cares about them...they are nothing to you. I am not sure how old you are....but it seems like you really need to talk to someone. I think you are incredibly brave to write what you did in your post. Is there anyone you can talk to in person? Any one you can trust? A school counselor or someone? It does help to talk. I wish I could help. All I can do is say if you want to vent more you can message me any time. I will listen.
BIG HUGS heart

I have a family member that did that to me too. my oldest brother. but he not only put me down with words if I did something he didn't like he would hit me as well. When I was 9 he put my head into an inch think solid marble window sill. cracked the marble but only gave me a slight headache. then he started calling me thickheaded as well as fat and stupid.
I completely understand about a family member putting you down, but the only way to deal with it is grow a think skin and make concise choices not to be like them. it is so easy to be like the people around you. I haven't fallen into that trap so please you don't either. xp
as for kids at school I understand that too, but I think I was a little better in that department because we moved every three years or so. therefor I was almost always the new kid.


If you ever need someone who has been there you can always talk to me.
and yeah sometimes typing it out is even better then saying it out loud.
once spoken its out in the cosmos if typed it is in cyberspace forever.

My older sister and both my parents did that to me when I was growing up. (*sigh* I'm not exactly skinny so I know the wieght 'jokes' all to well).

I also know how depression feels...so I totally understand why you haven't been active.

Take as much time as you need, just remember. You always have a online 'home' to turn to if you need a sholder to cry on or a smile to cheer you up. *huggles*

here is something that might cheer you up
try having a last name like Turley around a bunch of little kids that don't much like you.
some of my favorites were: Turley Turd Bomb, Turdly, Turkey, Turley the turtle.

I am so glad I can laugh at those now

Aww sweetie I am glad you posted! We are here to listen and give cyber hugs as often as needed. I can understand the belittling by someone we love wholeheartedly. In my case it was my mom rather than my dad though. But that is long past now. Hang in there, things will get better. We love you!

Oh, Nvr!
Hon, you can in no way allow yourself to fall for your father's comments.
I know you love him, and you want to please him, but subjecting yourself to this is just going to hurt you more.
Do not in any way feel guilty, ever.
You have been a wonderful daughter all your life, and you have to stick to the knowledge that you do love your father, and underneath all the snide comments and jeers, he loves you too.
About the memories, you're doing a good thing by typing them all up like this.
Maybe you should start an online journal.
You could use your Gaia journal, and make it so nobody else could read it, or you could use a post in this Guild to post your daily feelings where we could comment and help you in anyway.
Don't forget that we are here for you, and we love you <3

Man, I am really starting to get superstitious about this guild.
All of us seems to have some sort of problem we need to help eachother with, don't we? x3
I'm so glad I know all of you o 3o

Awww, sweetie. sad Mean people suck.

I'll pass on a funny story, that I hope will help you at some point (if only to make you smile).

I was always the fat girl growing up, so I totally understand. Thankfully Dad never mentioned it. Mom, on the other hand.... *sigh* Won't go there.

Anyway, this past October was my 20th high school reunion. I opted not to go, because I really didn't like a lot of the people that I thought would show up. (I wish I had gone now, because a lot of people that I did like actually went this time too). Well, one of my friends sent me pictures of the guys that I crushed on....that crushed me time and time again...... I find it amusing that they are all now fat and bald to the last one. Just remember what goes around comes around, not always right away, but eventually.

Yeah, mean people suck, but paybacks are a b*tch.

In the meantime, as part of the fat girl brigade, BBW (Big Beautiful Women as my mother-in-law calls us), I'm here for you and remember, fat girls have bigger shoulders to cry on.

*HUGS*
