May not be around much for a while.
« on: July 20, 2010, 10:07:57 AM »
Yo guys, this isn't a thread to troll me for, I just thought I'd let you know I might not be around much for a while.

My girlfriend left me on Sunday, to sort out the problems in her life, including her Mum, who was seriously ill. We are best friends, but it hurts.
Next day, my girlfriend's mother committed suicide, so I'm also now grieving, while getting over any hurt and supporting the family.
And next week I'm away on a kayaking coaching course.
A week after this I'm in the north of France for 2 weeks.

I thought that blob of info warranted an update. I'll still be around, just maybe a bit quiet.
This is all authentic, ask martymidget if you really need to.

Cheers (:

Sorry, Craaig.  I can empathize.

Please also tell your girlfriend 'Sorry.' for us at GTM.

Input is appreciated. :)

No need to be a dick, Stagfish.

I hope getting away for a while gives you time straighten things out in your life and to get you in a good place mentally. A lot of bad sh** happens, but remember, the best has yet to come.

I have empathy for the gal. She doesn't need my pity, nor does she need anybody else's.

I know this doesen't mean much from an "Ow! You shot me you a-hole" Kind of guy, but I DO know what life is like without a mother. She left when I was a baby, but I still knew her good after that... Now we lost touch. I ABSOLUBTLY KNOW that it is nothing compared to knowing your mother all of your life, but I'm just trying to help. If there's ANYTHING you or your girlfreind need to talk/vent about, my Email is Krashdaykid@gmail.com. I'll listen. Just send her my best regards and I know it will get better, it can't get worse.

Cheers,

I really really hoped I wouldn't have to bring this thread back up again, but it feels necessary.
Again, I may not be around much, and this may mean a few delays to RIMP and RIP AI.

The first 2 problems from the original post are still issues, especially the one about me and her. Our relationship has been thrown around (a lot) and again, I'm in a lot of emotional pain. Throw in the fact that there's another girl coming into the equation and, well, sh** is ****ed up.

She, obviously, is still in worse having found her mum in a shed, and has recently tried doing some very silly things. I just hope she isn't going the way her mum did.
Also, my mum and dad have decided to spring it on me that they're breaking up. It's by no means a clean break, with my dad trying to kill himself a few days ago, and my mum threatening to. So that's 3 cases of attempted suicide/threats of it in just the last 3 days.
Evidently, this is very very detrimental to me, especially with a huge workload at the moment. Cider is my friend.

Sorry if I'm seeming all depressive here but, you know, things aren't great, and I apologize for any delays with anything while I get myself back on the rails. I don't want people to get all troll-y, I just thought it'd be better if I gave you reasons. Martymidget can confirm whatever I'm saying.
Cheers :L

Wow...that really sounds tough for you, having all that sh** happening around you. I haven't had to deal with threats of suicide personally, but if your parents do end up having a divorce, then obviously you're gonna be a bit shaken up for a few months or so, but it'll start to feel kinda normal over time. My parents split up seven years ago, and I've managed to keep myself going. I'm pretty sure you can do the same. =]
