Sup y'all happy FRIDAY. I kinda wanted to use this thread to talk about anger/rage generally, but I think it'd be more important for me to get some other family things off my chest. I'm in a good place mentally at this time just feeling a little emotional/tired.

Anyway, when I called my biological mother (not who I consider my mother truly) Sunday, she informed me she had just gotten a cancerous polyp removed during colonoscopy. She added that she has felt terribly bloated and suspects a tumor, which is what killed her mother. My sister(same mom) lives near her and told me before this that she looked terrible last she seen.

Sadly, I've never had much of a relationship with her. By the time I was cognizant I just lived with my Father. I only ever talked to my maternal grandfather once when I was 18. Dad was still married to his first wife when I was born. She is who raised me after my father passed. to be continued on the backstory thooo

Bottom line my biomom is fuckin "simple" for lack of a better word and most likely going to pass sometime soon, she's 40 years older than I am and has been smoking fucking rolled cigs for 50 years of some shit. Not sure if it's the years of drugs or a mental illness thing. We still try to talk but it's never felt real. She does try though, but I can't help relishing in something I've been waiting years for.

So it can just be done. I won't have to call her or think of her. But it's my mom so of course I love her, she's fuckin harmless and the real loss is the relationship we could have had.

My father also managed to marry a million fucking women and I have a stepdad who raised me since 12. It's like I have a font of dead parents in my yard and I have to go through this eternally.

That's pretty much it. I just know this will be very difficult for me and I need to reach out. Everyone's going through shit as well and we all have too many dead friends and wasted years, community is pretty crucial if we're gonna get through whatever other whack shit we'll see this century.

Cancer runs in my family as well. My mom is the youngest of 7 so all my aunts and uncles were more like grandparents to me when I was little. There was a span of a few years that it just seemed like it was one death right after another. Brain cancer, lung cancer, breast cancer, take your pick. Then my dads dad had a stroke and died, which was probably his second or third one (he never went to the doctor). To top it off, my best friend died not long after.

I'm really not that cheerful of a person, but there is some part of me that is still thankful to be alive every morning when I wake up. As unpleasant as it can be sometimes, it's still an experience worth having. And there's always the possibility it can change or surprise you in a beautiful way.
 
Thank you. Had kind of a rough couple days, been difficult to find a reason to wake up this morning (7pm). But you are right. Things can change.
 
My mom was my entire world. She had cancer & lupus and heart failure the list goes on. I stayed with her in hospital floors just bc I never wanted to leave her side. Things I saw along it haunts me to this day. I lost her back in 2016. I'm only 25 now, losing her I lost my life & will to do good. Out of my family she was the only one that never judged me for anything and I fuck up a lot. I was never that close to my dad. We are now kinda honestly the drug part about me would probably bring us closer. But I keep it all hidden. I was mad at the world when I lost her. I feel you on the reason to wake up. 80% of my day is hoping I do not wake up the next day. 15% is thinking how everyone around me would be better off without me around. 5% is thinking it'll be better
 
I was mildly disappointed to wake up this morning. I feel like 25 was when I really started making any progress towards growing up and accepting some of my shit, so you might be due for a pleasant surprise, who knows. I feel you on this, but I'm definitely glad you're around.

5% is still something. You have to keep that glimmer alive.

I hope you stick around, I think you will like Bluelight. People won't judge you here, you can be yourself and vent whenever you need to.
 
I love being able to have a place to turn to without judgement forsure. It truly helped me a lot. Keeping everything hidden was getting to me pretty bad. @shroomyboom you was the first person that helped me on here, & I was terrified of what would be said to me when I posted on here the first time. I'll always appreciate everyone that has helped &
 
It's tough to tell the truth about shit we do. But this is def the place to do it. Glad I could help and I hope you stick around. Good timing cause I just hopped back on here after years. Someone else woulda been there though. Even not really knowing any BLers personally, I care more about them than many people irl.
