My birthday was the Feb 20. I am now 69.I got a card from my family with a check.So I called to thank them. What I [View all]

say in a previous post about the funeral was putting a heart card in my dads coffin with "I love you Dad" on it . after my mother and sister laughed at me and said I was hallucinating. about my and my dads physical features to a captured audience of relatives ; I told them they were both in rage . My sister answered the phone. My mother didn;t want to get on the phone to wish me a Happy Birthday. I told my sister that I have a lump on my spine. .The phone was on speaker so my mother heard. On March 8th I have to get the three MRI done ,plus another. My sister's comment was "I guess I will have to get a taxis to take me the Magee Women's Hospital" I didn't answer. I guess she will. My back and l legs started hurting in May of last year I spent 6 hours during one procedure and 16 hours for the operation. I sent her flowers and cards Our summer was carting them in and out of the county. and to be there at a minutes notice. I have now reread the post of mother's and sister's attention seeking at the funeral. For my own health I need to step away from the cruelty and .toxicity that has always surrounded me. I was broken when my own mother would not give her first born child a wish of a happy birthday.
