Hi,
You’ll have noticed I haven’t added any news updates or posts since October the 1st. I have continued to slowly add and update the site though.
For people who come by PausedLife for the Subeta updates, the following is perhaps a bit too personal for what you’re comfortable with. This explanation is mainly targeted at those who follow my site for it’s more personal aspect. 🙂
This is why I haven’t had the energy to write nice posts and neatly organised bullet lists of updates:
My father is really sick right now and these past few months have been unsettling and upsetting. He’s in England at the moment so that some friends can look after him now that we no longer have the health to do so ourselves. But the plan is falling through; the person he’s staying with at the moment is not helping him, it’s actually getting worse. He’s so influencable (not sure that’s the right word, or correct spelling) right now that he just does what ever people tell him to and accepts their opinions to be the truth without question.
These are some of the ideas that have been said to him. Please take note that he’s only been at this particular person’s house for a day…
“Oh I’m really pro herbs, you should definitely make the most of staying here and being away from your family to stop your meds.”
Wow. Genius, that’s just genius… Perfect. Why don’t you just kill him now instead of inflicting pain on us all as we watch him sink deeper and deeper!
“Your sickness is all in your head, only cognitive behavioural therapy will save you. You should start helping others and you will be helping yourself.”
You have got to be kidding me! A bacterial infection is “all in your head”? HOW DARE YOU EVEN SUGGEST THAT! Do you have the slightest idea how many years of hard work your words are destroying? As if he wasn’t already mixed up and lost as it is!
Lyme Disease (sometimes known as CFS-Chronic Fatigue Syndrome or ME-Myalgic Encephalopathy) and Bi-Polar Syndrome are real illnesses. So how about you just make sure he eats and goes to bed at proper times; anything else:
My gosh it feels good to let out some steam. I’m so angry and frustrated and afraid and confused, I feel like I could literally explode from the inside. I wish I could just take my coat, march right out of the front door, and go for a walk. Instead I’m stuck with two other fuming house-bound ladies, mother and sister. It’s going to be tricky but it’s best that we try to avoid each other for a day or two. Ha, OK that’s kinda impossible considering we have to be within mere metres of each other 24/7.
Let’s just hope we can avoid the subject at least. ._.
And it’s in these moments that you thank God for Teahouse MB and Subeta, my escapes, my “other” homes, my safe places to run to.
And you thank God for the special friends you make too. ^_^
Of course!
I haven’t had a chance to put it up yet, but I’ll tell you when I do.
Thanks! 🙂
Hello there, I’ve switched hosts! Please click on my name to get my new link!
Oh dear, that sounds terrible! I hope you and your family are better now. As Kat said, God bless your family! If you need someone to talk to, feel free to email me. 🙂
:O Oh that’s horrible! 🙁 I’m terribly sorry to hear that! Verbal abuse can sometimes be a lot worse than physical abuse… 🙁 *hugs* God bless your family, and I hope things settle soon! 🙂
Oh dear… I’m so sorry! I need to reupdate that list right now. 🙁 *hurries off*
Hope you had an AWESOME Christmas, and hope New Years goes by nicely for you too! 🙂
Apologies again for the inactivity!
I’m so sorry to hear about your dad and the influences he’s under. I can’t believe the person he’s staying with would say those destructive things. The tongue truly is a fire. I hope solutions can be found and that things will get better. I’ll pray for him. I hope you had a nice Christmas. 🙂
Here’s a little gift: http://img683.imageshack.us/i/joanna.gif/
Hi Joanna!
Is so nice to read your comments 🙂
That tablecloth was a never ending project, it took me a couple of months. I don’t remember when did I started, I think it was at the beginning of August and finished in November XD (college took away working time :S). Oh, don’t let the yarn fool you, haha, there are just two different yarns: multicolor green and red 😛
That basket is part of the plant decorations of my mom XD if you look at the border of the wall on the upper left corner you will see some plants too!
The little snow globe was a gift from my dad, it has the nativity and it plays Holy Night 🙂
And yes, you did learn something new! Pascua = poinsettia, and if you saw the other one Mantel = tablecloth.
And one last thing: I had my wisdom teeth removed! all four of the and I look like a hamster with seeds on its mouth hahaha 😛
I hope you’re doing good and that everything over there is ok. By the way I have a little package for you, but I haven’t send it yet >.< I'm kinda waiting for my dad to take me to the post office because I don't know how to send stuff by mail v_v

My mom has bi-polarity, it’s so bad. I feel so bad for your dad and I know how real this illness is. I hope he’s going to be better soon! God bless us all.
Hi Jo! How are you? I freaking miss you a lot!! Thanks for reading my other blog 😛 I’m glad that I have at least one visitor.
By the way, hows your family??
XOXO
Fug off! How could that person be so unfeeling. Bacterial infection is simply in your head!? Tch.. that was incredibly stupid. Anyone with no medical background can tell you it’s not an imagination.
Cognitive behavioural therapy, eh? What an idiot.
I hope things will be better soon for you and your family. Have faith. *hugs*
OMG how can someone talk to him like that D: I just hope you guys can talk to your dad and let him know that he should be careful with the advises that person gives him. I’m still shocked…
I don’t know how I missed this post (considering that it has already a week old >.<), I guess that maybe you guys at home are feeling a little better, hopefully?
Now take care and leave every thing in God's hands, you know that he never fails us so I'm sure that he will protect your dad and your family too.
