So I'm home

[Elphaba]

Posted: 7/13/08 at 10:19pm

I flew home today, after almost three weeks up in Washington.
My sister, who is staying up there indefinately until my Dad is not as crazy and we figure out what to do with him, looks at me before I leave and says "Don't leave me here forever."

But apparently he finally left the house today to go have Chinese, first time he's been out of the house in a week.

I am so happy to be home. At the same time, I don't think it has really hit me yet.

Ah well, life goes on I suppose.

You've been in my thoughts, Scott.

I'm glad your home. Hang in there.

Welcome Home Scott.

As Stephen said, you have been in my thoughts.

We are here for support, venting, or even bad jokes.

Much love.

Take it slow. Now that you're home and with Steve, allow yourself to feel and express whatever you need to. Keeping you in my heart and sending you all my love.

God, you are so effing annoying.

There are a million blog sites out there.

Make one and STFU.

Elphaba, as Penny said, take it slow and one day at a time. I am sorry for your loss.

Oh, Austin, you are just jealous because Elphaba actually HAS a home. I mean one where someone actually CARES about him unconditionally and does not have to be worried his lazy ass will get kicked out when his "husband" finds him cheating and stealing. How is your dog?

Everyone deals with grief and sorrow in their own way. People on this board also love Elphaba unconditionally, so it is only natural for him to share this with us.

Keep your negativity to yourself. It's very unbecoming.

I'm jealous? What am I jealous about? San Francisco is my home.

Shia's fantastic.

You're still a bitch.

F*CK off and die.

Nitsua, I respectfully ask you to please stop. Your posting is really insensitive and inappropriate. This is doing no one any good...especially not you.

Elphaba isn't the first person to have a tragedy and she should stop acting as such.

Boo hoo.

Get a blog.

I'll refrain from posting on this thread from now on. I'm sorry I've upset you, miss p.

I would wager a guess that everyone on this board has dealt with sadness and tragedy in their lives. I know I have. Even though my way of dealing with such things differs from Elphaba's or anyone else who chooses to post about their grief, I can respect their need to do so. I can also choose to support them publicly or privately--or not support them at all, but I don't need to make a statement about it.

Everyone suffers; no one is immune to pain. Please try to feel a little empathy. It'll make you a better person, too.

Elph, once again, my family and I send you our most heartfelt wishes for healing and peace.

I can only echo what Miss P has said.

Scott has friends on this Board, and we support him, and want to help him get through a very trying time as best as he can.

nitsua, I don't know a lot of people here personally, but I respect when they post things dealing with their personal lives, whether happy or sad. People just need to vent sometimes, and this site is as good a place as any to do so. Honestly, if you find the posts so irritating, just don't post on them. There is no need to be an insensitive jerk.

Elphaba, best wishes to you and your family.

Elphaba--I hope you will allow yourself the time and space to mourn. The loss of a parent, at any age, forces us to face who it is we now have to be without them. My mother was the person in my life with whom I shared all my greatest joys and sorrows. My father was the person with whom I shared my successes and failures. Without them, all those joys, sorrows, successes and failures seem a little less real, a little less meaningful. I have to find those meanings myself, and sometimes it breaks my heart all over again to have to do that, even though it's 14 years after her death and 6 years after his.

Austin--your unresolved feelings about your own mother's death keep causing you to act sociopathically each time another person posts about losing a parent. I hope you will get some counseling or therapy, because, without it, that sociopathic behavior will ultimately cause you to make others dislike you, and you will go on trashing your friendships, your relationships, your job situations and your social networks. You will lose Ivan and you will lose everything.

Her death was wrenching, I understand, but it does not entitle you to act abusively toward other people's losses.

You MUST understand that. Or you will self-destruct.

PJ, I wish I was as articulate as you.

Well said.

He already lost Ivan, and everything that came with him except the money he stole from Ivan's account.

Welcome home - I thought it felt more balanced around these parts.

I'll reiterate - if you need anything, let me know. It's a relatively short drive to the desert

XOXOXO to you and Steve.

Scott, I am glad to hear that you are home. Everyone has beaten me to the offers of support and a shoulder, but the offer still stands. If you need anything know that I am here. Please ignore Austin and his bile. He isn't worth acknowledging.

Much love and support sweetie!

Kel

Elphaba, my condolences on your loss. Words never do seem adequate.

What a mixed feeling you must have to be back in the comfort and familiarity of your own home while still dealing with your emotions and concern for your father.


PalJoey, you are far too kind and understanding to someone who has repeatedly demonstrated that he's happy in the path he's chosen. Perhaps next time he starts posting about his next prey he'll be reminded to start a blog.
