O.k. so check this out. I bought a house next door my now ex-girlfriends moms house (this was on Wed.). She was up here from Portland and was the first time I'd seen her since May. Was all teary eyed eventually and we talked a little. Was supposed go my supervisors house for Thanksgiving and was still sad go his house on Thursday so just stayed home. I ghosted her after we split and we did share some texts today and I still cried a lot but at least I got to vent and hopefully heal some more. Still I would've been better off not seeing her possibly. My fault for buying next door to her mom and putting to much faith in a relationship I suppose. At least I had the dog to hang out with.

There was a turkey meal here at my complex a few days ago. I put some turkey on a plate and sat down by a person who has made me feel comfortable to be with. I took the turkey home and enjoyed it as a sandwich. Thanksgiving by myself though. This morning I called a daughter to find out their plans for christmas to see if and how I might fit within those plans. She (once again) told me that I am a bad mother. I have what I call "shell shock" for being brutalized and left for death..PTS. So all I can say back is: "oh, okay". Because to save my sanity I no longer react - pretty damn numb now. My only joy is playing with my grandkids. To eliminate my daughter means eliminating those wonderful children of hers.
There is only one person who will miss me, my first born grandchild adores me. My daughter is choosing to keep me from the grandkids as she has done also to the other grandmother. I pity me for my introversion.. I see that I should stop living .

It seems family acts like family only now and then. Friends are often better than family. My immediate family (mostly dysfunctional) has all passed on. I don't get along with my wife's (dysfunctional) family. A suggestion, look up these terms in Google: dysfunctional family survivors, adult abuse survivors, etc. Lot of good info out there to help you learn and move on.
The person worth salvaging is YOU! You are attractive, aware and alert - that means everything! The slight one may suffer at the hands of bitter acquaintances is offset by the joy one experiences at each new bend in the road! Love to you, my friend!
@john-henry my other daughter helped alot by reminding me that her sister is a bitch.
my other issue is that i don't like humans. I don't like hearing that : We have been put on this earth for a reason. I think that is an absurd thing to say, because the only reason we are here is due to a male animal depositing sperm in a female animal. And to "salvage" me inferes that I am to be brought back or recycled. However, while we humans are here, we have the capability (the brains) to protect earth from humans. Only humans mess the earth up. For being raised in a society of supply and demand, I have learned to have more than I need. I work to be humble: having and wanting little. What I mean when I state how I am feeling is that: I am happy to exist only if I am of value. This being alone gig is not good. Safe, but not natural.
@Plant1010J We are all of value. Whether we recognize it or not is a different question. Sometimes it's a question of timing. Everything you've learned and gone thru adds to your value. Focus on the positive aspects of your life, not the negative. Even if all you do is smile at someone you don't know, or help someone you do, they see the value, the positive in you, even if you don't.
Dinner wasn't too bad. Only about 15 people there. I'm just glad we were able to get the Black Friday item we wanted a few days ago so I didn't have to fight the crowds. I used to work retail and I got lucky most of the time and got a noon shift instead of the early morning crap. I did have to go out shopping a couple years ago. Never again.

I made it through the gospel music in the car ride, the table grace, and being around people who think i'm going to hell.....

My ex girlfriend is a rabid catholic and says the same about me (hell), so I'll save you a seat.
I’ll rent a bus, in case any of you motherfuckers needs a ride???.
I no longer have to deal with all that: most of my immediate family have been so toxic over the past few months(again), that I’ve gone No Contact with them, finally. Should have done this sooner!
I do not visit family. Too many of them believe I am going to hell. Too stressful.
