I probably spilled a bit too much, but it's something that's really been bothering me, and there are very few people in my family I can talk to about it because they've all drunk to Flavor-Aid, so-to-speak, so I figured I could mention it in the relative anonymity of the internet. I just feel so bad for my cousin. She…

I am so sorry. Are they taking care of his delerium tremens while he is in the hospital, or is he not at that point? Having a late stage alcoholic in the family is so hard, and my heart goes out to you more than you will ever know.

I finally cried over my Aunt Gerri. I was alone, listening to ELO's El Dorado album, and alcohol may or may not have been involved. It was a long good cry.

Thank you. She was having a very hard time breathing in the end and there is nothing scarier than that. So at least she is no longer suffering.

Thank you. It's an especially big loss because she was one of the first people I came out to, and she didn't care. Elderly Polish Catholic people with their wits about them who are accepting of their nieces/nephews despite their sexual orientation don't come around every day. I have relatives half and a quarter her…

I am kind of numb right now. As sad as I am, the gravity of the situation hasn't really hit me yet. I will probably be a blubbering mess at the wake and the funeral this week. Right now, I am just trying to think of the good times and find comfort in the fact that she is no longer suffering, and that if there is an…

Aww, thank you.

Thanks. I at least got to see her one last time. My Busia and mom were going to visit her in hospice on Wednesday and I was putting it off because of my surgery recovery, but I just popped and extra percocet and went. She was so happy to see me too- kissing my face, telling me how much she loved me. At least she's…

Thank you.

Leukemia finally took the life of my beloved Aunt Gerri on Friday, so I didn't get to keep up with much pop culture stuff. I watched the repeat of Newsreaders and stayed in bed all Saturday, feeling morose and listening to Rush. Thus is life.

Rex is a quality lay.

That's the only thing I know him from, and he was great in it.

My sincerest condolences. You did your best for Jessie, you loved him, and gave him one hell of a life. That's the best anyone, human or animal, could ever ask for.

Absolutely. I've done the same thing myself. You show yourself to not be an asshole by sending that message of sympathy, but also allow yourself to not be a doormat by bringing the person back into your life.

I'm on trileptal and latuda for bipolar 2, 1mg of ativan every six hours as needed for anxiety/PTSD, remeron and lunesta for sleep, and topamax for migraines. (That's for your brain too!)

Depression is horrible. It sucks the life out of you and it makes you miserable. If you aren't seeing a therapist/psychiatrist and you don't have insurance, there are likely free clinics in your area that could help you with attaining a therapist and/or psychiatrist. I've had to navigate those waters for a few family…

I'd say that's a pretty appropriate course of action. Touching base to send well wishes regarding the mother who you do/did care for, but not exactly opening up the floodgates for a relationship.

Have you prayed to St. Anthony for help? He's the patron saint of helping you find your missing stuff. I'm an atheist and I still do it, and shit manages to turn up. But losing rings like that really does suck. My mom gave me this beautiful ring that had star sapphire on it back when I was fifteen, and I lost it when…

Considering what he did to Madonna, it all makes so much sense! I just don't understand how Charlize Theron, whose mother killed her father (justifiably) for being an abusive monster, could be with him. She is a gorgeous woman, yet is falling into the same trap.

I felt that way before I knew that he had been in California, though. We only learned that in episode 5. I'd read interviews with Susan's friends from way back when and they said that they thought Bob was innocent and that she never would have said anything to implicate him anyway. And there was Sareb, who didn't…
