Hi all, it's my birthday today,i'm 53, and my family can't even remember it! except my son and mum! my brother has to be reminded, my 3 nieces,not even a "happy birthday auntie chris"! my sister in law not even a card! not even a phone call to say happy birthday, did you have a good day!!! i'm realy p***ed off. on top of that, i have'nt been to well over the last 8 months with a thyroid problem, i don't even get asked how i am!! and with this problem it makes you very weepy,so you can imagine how i've been today!! but i've been a bit down for the last few weeks and today brought it to a head!!!! oh well, wait till the birthdays and christmas come round! they'll be in for a shock!!!!!!!! and on top of all that, i think my son has got himself a girlfriend!! but he's not telling me anything about it!!! i'm really hurting. ever felt you're being pushed out? that's how i feel. FAMILYS!!!!! who'd have them eh!!! think the dead ones are better!!!!!!! feel better now i've got all that off my chest!! sorry for the moan! chris.

christine i have e-mailed you

MANY HAPPY RETURNS CHRISTINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Aw my heart goes out to you. I wish you a happy birthday and I'm sure many more of us do too. I'm not going to make excuses for your family, they are obviously too bound up in themselves to think about anyone else. That doesn't make YOU a bad person. I have an (ex) mother in law that doesn't remember her only two grandchildren's birthdays or christmas and she's a millionaire. Keep your chin up, remember you are special. Here's a hug \0/ xx Annie

Dear Christine I wish you a very Happy Birthday Lynda xx

hi bridget, thanks, i am waiting to see a specialist, my doctor thinks i'll have to have the iodine treatment, it started off over, then it went under, now it's over again, just can't get it right. chris.

Oh Christine, if only I had known , I would have started a thread for you. Many Happy returns of the day, I hope you have sweet dreams, Love June xx P.S. I've put your name in the book for next year.

Happy Birthday Christine, you will be getting support from this family at least, so keep your chin up. Regards David

Christine, Just like to add my best wishes to you also - don't let them get you down. Jean

Oh Christine wishing you a lovely birthday, take care and sweet dreams Jo

Don't be sad, all families are the same. They blow hot and cold all the time. I don't know how old your son is, but they do go away for a time and when they get older they come back. There is a saying:- If you love something, let it go and if it comes back to you, then it is yours. Just be patient. Jo.

happy birthday christine, I know exactly how you feel, I didnt get a card from my husband son or daughter on my birthday last month, only my sister and sister-in-law remembered. jenny x

Hi Christine Think I've just managed to squeeze in another happy birthday wish before it's too late! Did your day get better as it went on? I hope you soon get your thyroid under control; it can take some time but I'm sure you'll get there in the end. My mother also has the same problem but eventually the doctors have managed to bring it back into balance. I'm sure the next year will be a better one for you. Best regards Helen

thank you, all of you!! feeling a bit better now, it's so nice to have people to talk to on here. Patricia, i know what you mean, if they forgot mums(there nan) birthday she would have something to say!!!! cos it's me it's a different story!!!! if i say anything,i'm in the wrong!!!!!!! i think my son would forget only for me throwing little hints and reminders! and my mum reminds him. one of my nieces went on holiday recently with her 2 little boys,and i bought the boys T shirts, i did'nt get one word of thanks for them!!!!! i'll know better next time, i won't do it again! chris.
