Array ( [sid] => 68189 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => life's grimside [time] => 2004-10-20 10:33:04 [hometext] => she has threatened to take away my youngest son simply because she's richer and feels shes better than me. [bodytext] => i was getting happy, god forbid i be content
but i know where all the peace in my heart went,
taken by one greedy, malicious, horrible relative
we've different philosophies, im live and let live,
she is get what and all she can and make threats
intimidate people until they are blindly in her net,
then in for the kill when they are tired and low
because she was bored and had to put on a show,

this is my sister-in-law from hell on wheels
who does not care how she makes people feel,
i dared to mention things could be reversed
it could have been her husband in that hearse,
it could have been her kids missing their dad
the way she looks down on me and mine is so sad,
her upity rich nose in the air; she despises me
but mostly she is jealous in style and will i'm free,

my kids and i understand not, how she enjoys her sting
swearing compared to her and her family; i am nothing;
just a woman alone without a man trying to live each day
her words bring me to my knees what more can i say?
i am happy she has her man, kids, big house and life
and i am happy for anyone who is a contented wife,
but don't put me down saying i made myself a victim
whilst your life is wonderfully full and happy to the brim,

she's been given everything her whole life; never had to try
yet, under the quilt covers this woman has made us all cry,
in her mind to herself she's a selfmade winning success
i fail to see how anyone can be so continuously heartless,
it could've been her struggling with life's sleepless nights
alas, she is left without compassion and true inner sight,
that mean cruel tongue has gone too far this time
for how she hurt my kids is no nursery rhyme,

i do wish she could put this meaness of hers aside
it was not my plan to live alone knowing life's grimside.

It is hard to ignore someone who irritates you but she only has this power over you if you let her have this power.
Be strong and I pray all goes well for you and yours

A wonderful wrtie

Love Sweetangelukxxxx

I wish there was something I could do. If you wanna just talk..PM me..give you my phone #.. this is horrid. I'll just listen and make up hateful rhymes.. We could even plot revenge to get a laugh.. I hate that you have to go through this..even though it does nothing to put a damper on your artwork.. I wouldn't worry about having a man..you can have mine. (well he's just a guest now..but he's up for grabs.)

Nessa!!!!!!!!!!!
I know soooo much what you are going through, beleive me. I'm sorry you are hurting, my sister still hurts me nearly everyday. Just seeing her, thinking she's above me makes me so mad. Why is it that some people just never have to struggle to be happy and contented, it just falls on their lap? But just remember, we're the lucky ones, we've lived and come through the other side, made us stronger. I'd rather be friends with a million of YOU, than one of them, we're real!
Great poem, all the best, if you wanna swap nasty sister(in law) stories you only have to shout, I'm always ready lol.

Ali xxxxxxxx

Some people are only happy when making others sad. It fulfills something missing in them (i think it is a heart). I am here for you, Nessa, if you need to talk, always.

Much love,
Rita

Oh Hun....how terrible!! I can only imagine what you are going through. I know you are a strong woman and I'm sure she does also... so she must know that you re not defenseless against her.
Stay strong, Ness....
Hugs to You and George and Mara...

One of the most heartfelt, and heartwrenching pieces I have seen in some time. Wow, I can only say that you have captured your emotions with such clarity and style. A fabulous write.

Hey Nessa,

Sorry that your sister in law does this to you. But unlike most, I believe that she herself must not be to happy. If she were, she wouldn't have the urge to hurt you or anyone else. "Misery loves company." Remember to smile, that will rattle her cage...lol

J~

That... no good... bloody... squeaky raggety stupid catholic @$^%#$%!

*sitting here still fuming* Mom, don't let idiots like *her* bother you. We're much better within the fact that we're actually REAL; her entire life is filled with nothing but superficial things.

Anyway, it was a really great write. :D:D:D

I agree with tifrob. Really, there is no way she can be happy. Though, she can be jealous that now you are finding happiness without your husband.... And in her petty and cruel way have to get you back by asking for George. I would kick her, but I don't think the courts would give him to her anyway. Besides, he's at the age now where they would ask him where he wanted to live. If he said you then they'd take that into a major consideration. She'd probably be laughed out of court.

I love you and I stand for you and my sister and brother of heart.

You are the most loving, caring person I have met and by heart and soul, you are my mom. I love you for all you have done for me, for the sleepless nights you spent on the other side of the screen talking to me when I needed you.

I'm proud and pleased of every little mistake you have ever made, for they all add up to make you the person you are today, and anyone would find it hard to find another like you.

George is intelligent beyond his years, and Mara has a head full of logic (sometimes :p) They both know that you are the one who can give them everything they truly need.... A hug when they're sad, a kiss when they fall, you are the one to say 'I love you' at just the right times... This woman, this fool, could never measure up to you. Always remember that

Hugs 'n Love always

Woo grilfriend,
this is so sad. God will prevail.
She too shall bow her knees before God as the bilble says, Every knee shall bow before him.
Hang in there, my friend, when ypdc calls on God he listens.

Sorry to say this but she sounds like a real *****. Some people just need a dose of cruelty to wake up, crush them like they like to do to others so they can feel a little dose.

Hope she isn't bothering you anymore

BTW- good read.

Ben
