Default Nobody remembered my Birthday

Sigh... so I don't really have anyone to celebrate with anyway. My kids are too young and my husband left me a little over a year ago while I was pregnant. My mom didn't even tell me Happy Birthday until after she criticized me about buying something that I bought for myself as a present. I don't even think she remembered. Heck, she didn't even tell me happy birthday, she said they were out of cake at the store.

Of course nobody from church has called or stopped by. I have no friends. I feel so alone in this world. Most of the time I sit around thinking that I really don't care if I die. I would never kill myself, but I just don't like living my pathetic life.

Not really looking for advice. I just don't know where else to post this.

Default Birthday

Angela,

Well, many women stay 29 for years....look at it that way. No birthday, no aging.

Not to make light of your situation. But sometimes we have to laugh so we don't spend all our time crying.

I don't think that people intentionally hurt us or neglect us, I think it just happens. But I bet there are many people who love and care about you, that you don't even know about. There are people in our lives, that admire us, love us, and think about us- and we don't know it. You may not know, but there was someone somewhere that thought about you on your birthday. Someone else who considered calling you or sending you a card, but something happened so they couldn't.

I know from experience that telling you be happy because you have your children, or be happy for this or that that is in your life, is not going to help. I have found myself iritated by such comments, when I am so sad that I don't want to continue, telling me that I have children who need me, or that I have a good job or a great education, doesn't help. We are always told to count our blessings. But sometimes we need to acknowledge our pain. Too often we discount ourself, saying we have no right to be sad. But you have every right to be sad, Angela. It was a sad thing that happened.

It seems ironic that I would even give any advice to someone with what has recently happened and is happening to me. But I find I can offer advice, but I cannot figure what to do for myself. "Doctor heal thyself" never works.

Take care. And a belated "happy birthday".

You are loved.

Hey Angela! Happy Birthday. I like what Angel and AELK had to say. My birthday is next tuesday (three shopping days people!) and I know that I have to make this my best birthday yet since, like you, my marital situation has recently changed, etc etc. Have I been reminding people here on .net and at home that my birthday is coming up?! Boy Howdy have I!!! lol! I'm such a birthday...ummm...well, I love my birthday! lol! Anyway, enough about me, sorry yours was so poopy! But now you're here and we can all help to make it better!!

You actually used it!!!!

Happy Birthday Angela

I would be sad too if nobody remembered my b-day. From my husband and kids I only expect a "happy birthday", but from my mother I do look forward to something special. I would be terribly sad if she didn't even remember to say anything. I try to make her b-day special, and that of my kids and hubby. I just think it is important.

Still, having said that, I agree with AELK...you are not alone. You may not know us, but we wish a good b-day.

Love,
TG
