An outcast

[Mr.Mysterious]

Ever feel like you have been outcasted by your family at all..??

Its a weird feeling...... I mean .. I just called my mom today to let he know how I have been doing.... and she sounded like she did not even want to talk to me ...... so I press a lottle more and ask her how my bros are doing..... she says she called them a few days ago.. and that they are doing good...... my twin just gets a permotion at work... my older bro may be comming in from NC in oct.... all good and stuff for them.... then she tells me she has to go cause shes reading her book.......boy ..makes me feel real good when a frickin book outweighs a son ...*sighs* .... I am at a loss on what I should do anymore...... seems she only has enough time for my bros and thier wives ... and not enough for her single son. ....anyway ..sorry about all the babbling just needed to vent some how with out getting myself in that big dark pit o depression....... not to say that im not halfway there.

anyway I will shut up now

till next time

Hmmmm, sounds a little bit familiar. My mother-in-law has my her grand daughters this week. She called and said something about a picnic at the beach. She lives in the Flint area we live in Grand Rapids. I was like "yea, that would be fun! Then the girls could see each other again."

Well, she meant they were going to Port Huron to picnic and all that. Because thats where her friend lives, who a a few years older me. We were like why is she making me drive accross the state to do this get together when WE are the family not her. So she would rather be with this non family before her real grand kids. *shakes head*

They always do stupid shit like this.

One Sunday a few years ago, I called to see if the kids could come over for a few hours while we went Christmas shopping. She said no because the football game was on!! So grandpa's ball game was more important than the grand kids.

That turned out to be a good thing though. Thats when we started leaving the kids home alone for an hour or two.

hugs to Mr.Mysterious. I hope things work out for you and you start to feel better.

Sometimes i feel as if my mother in law does this to my Oldest son and even my hubby and my self. She always seems to just have something negative to say no matter what and all in all when ever the story changes it always goes back to style of life or dress or something that really should not matter to a mom. Or some random bablings that no one understands.

I have told Mr. L to smother me if i ever get like that with our kids. Hell i try hard now as it is to recognize who needs what attention and when so i just hope it end up equaling out and i never change.

I feel for ya, although i have no advice as how to fix it.

My family has always looked at me like I'm crazy. My hair is ever-changing, and I get new ink once a month, it seems. I always felt like the outcast. Sometimes, I still do. Only one person in my family has actually confessed to wishing she could be like me. That would be my sister. Who knew?

[soothsayer]

I know how you feel and what you mean. Been there all my life and I know nothing else.

Sometimes I think life would be more easy if I just followed the crowd but the crowd dress like color blind dorks. That plus I prefer to think for myself so then I come back to my senses and continue to go against the grain.

Keep your chin up.

Sidenote: There's a reason why they call it the mainstream, it's shallow.

I actually tried that when I had my first child, under pressure from all sides to look and behave like their idea of what a mom should look like. Didn't matter. The outsider vibes still came through.

I figured if they were gonna treat me different I might as well look the part. I still communicate with those of my family who accept me, and minimize contact with those who want to get into my business and tell me how to live and how horrendous my neon hair is..

I don't really fit in anywhere, even among the freaks and geeks, but I do my own thing and feels so much better to be me.

I saw a tagline once that reads "Better to be the outcast than the ones casting out."

[Brenda Starrr]

OMG....

How I scare the soccer moms. You can literally hear a pin drop when I show up at a school function. Even funnier is when I can actually hear them whispering "Oh, that's just Sierra's mom. She always looks like that." Even when I tone it down.

My family has always treated me like an outsider. My father and one uncle are the only ones that have ever accepted me. Dad had his moments, when he would try to suggest I change my style of dress of haiur... but he was my Dad and he was allowed. If anyone else said something negative about me he was the first to jump up and tell them what a great kid I was/am. God I miss him. I go see my uncle whenever I can.. I could show up as a drag queen and he would prolly just hand me a joint and ask how work is going.

[Homicidalheathen]

Married with kids here and still an outcast so don't think its that.....

Your different or you probably wouldn't be on here....and different is good in our little family....right people?

We love ya just the way you are. :laughing

[Guest MsMaldoror]

I often feel like an outcast on DGN, but I guess I should start another thread for that. I've been looking at this board so much lately that I'm starting to think there's something wrong with me for not being an absolute freak. :fear

[float]

I think we all feel like outcast sometimes, in different places at different times

like right now

I wear a suit to work

I'm too "normal" for many 'freaks'

I'm too fucked up for most "normal" people

I never seem to fit in...except with my friends...they are the best

[fever blister]

my family doesnt talk to me, they havent all my life. im not close to not a one of them. i live with my sister and her two kids and months can go by without even a word being exchange. they dont know me and i dont wanna know them.

lol i too know that Hush and then hurry up and wisper something as i pass by.

Ya know what i find funny, with all my weird looks and hair, the staff at the school has made many many comments to me how wonderful my kids are and so on, so every time i here is snicker or wisper i just think how great my kids are and how theres are not.

On some levels i know i am better off then they are and it make me happy to know that no matter what i am living proof that the weird can raise very nautral and healthy well adjusted kids, sometimes better then those who are normal.

My mom tells me that I'm stupid for not believing in a god.. her god. And that my way is the wrong way and my kids are going to be fucked up when they get older because of this. Thanks mom.

I really don't understand people like her.

Tell her to piss off, and if she wants to see her grandchildren, she better accept the fact that your kids not hers.

Oh, I do more then tell her to piss off. I was talking to her a few minutes ago and she starts rambling on.. when that happens she gets the big FUCK YOU. End of discussion, I hang up!
