Hello Dear Friends!
Hope and pray that you are having wonderful time in your lives inspite of all
obstacles in the way. Hope weather is being less hard now and life is about to
settle back on it's normal trek .( Hopefully)
Hope Fires are getting slow down and environment of effected areas got some relief
.My heartiest best wishes for all who
suffered and lost meanwhile .Nature has it's own expressions to describe her moods
and behaviors and although man has developed great command over many things by
inventions and technology but there are still somethings which stay out of control and
make men panic once in a while .All we can do is caution to protect ourselves and
keep praying for safety and well being before God .
Today i am sharing about one of my friend and cousin (from back my native village).
She is little weird in her attitude .I kind of grew along with her though she is ten
years elder than me . She belongs to a well established ( Financially) family and since
childhood got everything what she wanted .She was eldest of her two siblings but
always so impatient ,demanding and stubborn .She never liked her own toys .Played for
while and snatched from little siblings .Her attitude raised with her and she chose
man to get married whom loved her best friend . She did not care about the
feelings of her cousin and childhood friend who w as left heart broken .
Usually people grow emotionally and mentally along with physical growth but shockingly
her behavior did not change with the age and time. She had man whom she wanted
and six children 3 boys and 3 girls along with all worldly luxury yet she was
unhappy ,unsatisfied and complainer .
I never saw such another weird example .I had mixture of feelings for her ,anger
,sympathy ,concern and most above PITY .How bad that she was ruthlessly ruining her
life and lives of people around her including her children who were bearing sick
abnormal environment just their mother was not a NORMAL person .
Whenever i met her i never heard from her any good about her life ,husband or
children .She always keep complaining about everyone .For her husband she always
say he doesn't care for me ,He is flert and unfaithful . If she was true in her
comments it was most probably her own behavior who forced him to be like this as
according to my village friends she always keep home in "fighting " mode and remind
him that she was the one who chose him otherwise he was in love with her friend.
even about her kids she said "they all are bad and selfish just like their father etc.
Due to her such behaviors relatives hesitate to be close to her or to make new
relationships with her grown up kids . One of her daughter who was so precious and
pretty girl committed suicide because her cruel mother did not care for her feelings
and forced her to marry with boy who seemed impressive to her due to his strong
economic status .Her daughter was in love with her cousin who was her fiance for two
years. She (weird one) tied and broke engagements of her all six kids apparently .His oldest son
had fiance for more than 5 years .All preparations were done for wedding but
suddenly she announced that she will not bring that girl as daughter in law who did
not greet appropriately when encountered in some ceremony. Son was same as mother
and later revealed that he developed his affair with a girl whom he met in
hospital ( he is male nurse)
that girl was only child of rich family and this mother and son expected
LOT from this wedding ( dowry system ). The poor girl who was left behind died within two years with
unknown disease .Her father had heart attack already .
My weird cousin lives with her husband who sleeps in separate room since years.
Unlike tradition of here her three boys live separate and don't talk to their mother
even on special days . One of her daughter is married to a boy who is in army
.Other the eldest girl is still unmarried and teaching in school .
I always feel sorry for her family who paid for her sins . She never appreciated the
blessings that God gave her or the good that people did to her . She is
complicated case to solve .I wasted lots of my time and words on her when met
but what about who lock themselves into a DARK ROOM of IGNORANCE and
don't let any ray in to enlighten their world.
Whatever we have is not our a DEBT on God from us so he has to give it
back to us anyway , it is only the GIFT of LOVE from our
CREATOR for which THANK YOU is due not complaint.
Stay positive and never let your faith shaken by tests that come to reinvent you my friends,love you all.
God Bless You All!!! Take care please!
What a sad lady you cousin seems, Baili.
ReplyDeleteHow weird that all sadness is produced by herself only
DeleteSome people are like a hurricane.
ReplyDeleteObrigada pelo carinho.
ReplyDeleteabraço
Lola
you are well come my friend!!!
DeleteEvery family seems to have a weird cousin. You must be very proud of your life and your faithfulness to God.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you my friend.
DeleteIt is hard to understand some of our family members sometimes!
ReplyDeleteSo true dear Marie!
DeleteBut sometimes we understand them and feel stuck because every effort for pulling them out of misery drag them more into it sadly
Baili, it is very sad about your cousin. Most everyone probably has at least one family member (if they are honest) that loves "drama" which they have to make continually. It's like they feed on it. I knew a woman like that once and when everyone stopped feeding into her drama, she died. Honestly, what a sad life she must have had. I myself have a sister who hasn't spoken to me in 3 years now but she thinks it is I who haven't spoken to her. She has to make it about me hurting her when in fact she hurt herself by her actions. I was very sick one weekend and she just happened to be at a golf tournament nearby and called to come visit but I told her I was too sick to have company and she got angry and hung up on my husband when he took the phone from me to explain to her that I was really sick. Now she makes nasty comments on facebook about me "still not talking to her". Well, in fact, we never did talk like sisters should. The only contact we had was once a year when she came to visit on her vacation. So, in essence, I was used for her free vacations but I didn't mind. So there you have it, we all have crosses to bear, as they say. She is mine I guess...because she will never understand that she is the one who has the problem, not me. I am happy without her drama for a week every year.
ReplyDeleteWell, I hope I haven't overstepped with my lengthy comment. You did say this was the "complaint department." Enjoy your day dear friend.
Oh my dear Carol that is really really horrible about your sister 's behaviour. I feel sorry for people who create drama to satisfy their some kind of sick instinct.
DeleteYou said that almost every family has one member whuch suffer such mental disorder (that is it what i think) so do i my friend. And trust me it is not pleasant experience when such people are around.
I am at peace to hear that you are wise enough to stay away from such mess and understand totally that it is she who lost a precious "you"
I am honoured by your honest sharing my dear friend and you are always well come to share your heart as to me this is true meaning of blogging
This is a terribly sad story. There are people in this world who are destructive to themselves and to people who are around them. Such people exist i n every country and have been around since the beginning of time. It seems that words will not change them.
ReplyDeleteAs you said, it is most sad that this person's attitude has caused her whole family to suffer. Why can people not see what they are doing? It must be hard to watch and not be able to help. And you're right, we need to have a thankful heart for all we are given. Have a good week, baili!
ReplyDeleteMy village is consist of hardly 100 houses in which people live who belong to few families basically Jenny and in whole village her family is kind of badly damaged due to her miserable attitude.
DeleteYou are right my friend it is painful to see someone in family destroying herself and feel unable to help.
That is a sad story Baili, but probably more common than we think. Lots of people have too much self-entitlement...like the world owes them everything. I knew someone like that and she was very difficult to like and eventually I dropped her as a friend. It's hard to constantly hear someone complain and be negative and not show gratitude for what they have. If that weird woman was suddenly put into the situation of many people who are poverty-stricken and living in danger...I wonder if her attitude would change?
ReplyDeleteDear Rain this is great that you tried your best to lift your friend up from this panic level and at the end realized that she does't accepting your generosity and broke up with her ,what else one can do more then this.
DeleteHow sad that your cousin felt so bad about herself and felt the need to try to make everyone around her feel just as bad. It shows that my mood has a profound effect on those I care about. A good mood makes a better life for our loved ones.
ReplyDeleteDear Emma you are perfectly correct that the mood of a mother effects the whole family and relationships and that is why i try to stay positive and happy and i experienced and observed that by doing so things get better and better between husband and wife and children and parents
DeleteSad true story here, so sorry.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry to hear this, Baili. Sending you much love and warm hugs.
ReplyDeleteThat is a story I have often heard one person can cause peace or havoc in a family sad but happens often.
ReplyDeleteMerle........
Thank you for relaying this unfortunate story. Isn't it wonder it happens here too?
ReplyDeleteBless you.
Faith, if it's strong, resists all tests.
ReplyDeleteNo matter how hard they may be.
Have a wonderfull week.
Totally agree pedro
DeleteIt makes me so sad to hear that you have such a troubling relative in your life. She seems to have made chaos out of her life with her husband and children. I've had that just recently in my family. I have to look away-all of my attempts at making the anger heal so that we can be family again have been shunned by this person. I can't do any more so I, too, the other way and thank God for the good people I have in my life.
ReplyDeleteI hope all works out for you Baili. You are a smart, warm and a lovely person. Look the other way and find the light in all the good you have!!!
Jane
Thank you so much for this concern and affection dear blondie!!!
DeleteHow bad that you too had such miserable person around you my friend!
but glad that you did what you could and do not bother yourself with her distraction anymore.
that is what i have done ,keep distance after all my attempts to calm her down and to lighten up her attitude towards life but unfortunately she is one of those who put on certain glass to look at the world and never ever let anyone to make them clean their mess.
i am honoured with your loving warm words for me my friend ,i must say you are so kind and generous in your expressions .God Bless You More Dear!
Hugs, Baili. Wherever you go in life. there's always this one relative who isn't content.
ReplyDeleteThank you my friend!
Deletenow i am learning that such people exist almost everywhere
Há pessoas assim em cada famÃlia. Descontentes com tudo porque não estão bem com elas mesmas...
ReplyDeleteUma excelente semana e tudo de bom para si.
Beijos.
What a sad story. Some people go through life never being happy and bringing unhappiness to others. I feel sorry for them and everyone in their path.
ReplyDeleteSo true dear Martha!
Deletethey make their families suffer through their sick attitude and worse behaviors
How very sad but something we see more often than not. Some are never satisfied and sadly, it's best to give up trying to make them happy. They don't realize we all have a 'God-shaped hole' inside of us that only HE can fill. Thank you for sharing your story!
ReplyDeleteThank you my friend!
Deletei too believe that we all have given desires but are test to our patience and dignity
Thank you for sharing your story about your cousin, Baili. It's sad to hear, and sometimes all we can do for loved ones is pray, which is the most powerful of all. And always remain kind and have compassion because we never really know the whole story of the ones we love.
ReplyDeleteI heard one time that grateful people are the happiest people, and I think this is true. Thank you for being a grateful person, Baili, and I want to thank you for your prayers for Nel. I haven't heard from her yet, but hopefully the storm coming her way will have lessened some and not be too bad.
~Sheri
Thank you dear Sherie!
Deletehow beautiful words you said here about "pray" that "pray is most powerful of all" this is what i too believe my dear friend that true deep connection with our God gives our pray more power to be answered .
I am praying for your dear daughter that May you hear soon about her well being amen.
You have been so forthright in sharing this story of your cousin, Baili, and how her actions have affected her family and others. I agree with previous comments that it is such a sad situation and within my own family, we also had a separation for many years and, in part, some of it was due to some actions of my late mother. While I loved her and miss her greatly, I can see now that some matters could have either been handled differently or perhaps because of my own mother's outlook and upbringing she had her opinions. Thankfully, my family has seemed to come together more in the past 2 years and it makes me sad to think that it's due to my mother's death.
ReplyDeleteI hope that your cousin will one day come to her senses and realize that life is far too short to cause such division in a family.
Thank you dear Beatrice for sharing your touching experience ,i truly appreciate and feel blessed that you shared your heart with me!
DeleteEven i have a huge example in my life here after marriage .after marriage i lived with her for 16 years which are totally unforgettable due to the mental pain and terror she caused to me and my only fault was to stand against her negative preachings she used to do front of her grown up kids,poisn them against each other and teasing them to hate each other rather than loving .
It was shocking and frightening for me and i was horrified by her attitude because the value of a Mother in the life of children is most important and she is source of character building for her kids .Later i knew that she used to live with her uncle ans aunt as she was an orphan and beard lots of miseries which turn her into kind of monster but still i believe that if a person has seeds of GOODNESS inside and connection to God no worse can turn him into evil
It is sad when people don't appreciate the lovely gifts they are given in life. I think we all know people like this, unfortunately. They hold up a mirror in life for all of us to look at.....a good reminder to count our blessings. I feel sad for her family and the sorrows they must overcome. I have lived through a life with someone like this as a child, but I learned first-hand to appreciate life's blessings through that adversity. Sometimes God presents us with these obstacles in life for learning......Bless her children - thank you for sharing. Hugs xo Karen
ReplyDeleteI agree Dear Karen!
DeleteSuch impatient and weird people are mirror to us as wise learn more from fool than another wise
Some people do not count their blessings. Some never feel satisfied with what God bestowed on them. It is unfortunate.
ReplyDeleteBe well.
I try to appreciate whatever I can.
ReplyDeletethat is best what we can do in return of all that Lord has bestowed on us John!
Delete" it is only the GIFT of LOVE from our
ReplyDeleteCREATOR for which THANK YOU is due not complaint."
so so true!
sending much love to you, baili!
Thank you dear Ashley!
Deletesame here
Happiness truly come from within. All the luxuries in this world cannot buy happiness. Your story about your cousin is proof of that.
ReplyDeleteThank you dear Carola!
DeleteI wish people can understand that "happiness is a sense that belongs to their attitude towards life"
If they put conditions for being happy then there is no end for this
and if they decide to be happy, they can be happy with even nothing in hand because they still have hands to pay gratitude
Sorry to read of such an unhappy situation, sometimes we can't help and it is hard to stand by and see things unfold but you have shown kindness and tried your best.
ReplyDeleteThank you my friend!
Deletei put lots of effort in each meeting we had but what if one shutter down his senses for sensibility
You have shared a very very sad story Baili, and the sadness of it is, that it doesn't have to be! If only she would understand how blessed she is, what a difference could be made in her life, but like you said, words don't touch her heart, nothing does. All one can do is pray that the Lord would change her, if He can. There is some in every family, I do believe. My husband had an aunt who treated her children and husband much like your cousin and she lived a very unhappy life, and it caused great scars in the lives of her children. I will pray that the Lord will give you grace, wisdom and knowledge in how to deal with this cousin, and for her poor children. I always appreciate and enjoy your writings, dear friend!
ReplyDeleteThank you dear Marilyn!
DeleteI am sorry that you too have seen such miserable person in the family of your husband .
Actually God can do change her but God has put condition front of us for this through his message that
" He will Listen You When You Will Call Him" some people though apparently obey God in their worldly obligations to show the wold that they are so religious but i observed that many of them do not even think if there is any God (God Forgive me to say this) deep inside they have no faith and faith less soul shallow and torn with no peace my friend .How can they call God for showing them path if they have no faith in him
You cousin is living a miserable life and actually feeling sorry for her. There is no fun to be around people like your cousin.
ReplyDeleteWow....your cousin, though you love her picked the life she wanted to live, and left others behind. You could suck it up and be there for her in which she will bring her worries to your life. Or you could except that she is a negative force in your life and it is best to live your life without her worries. Sorry for all of that.
ReplyDeleteI did both dear pam .
DeleteI left her with her weirdness alone after trying my best to get out of this darkness
misery loves company - sadness does as well!! i always keep a light relationship with sad people and try to surround myself with happy people!!
ReplyDeletehappiness is a choice, i know that first hand!!
Wonderful way of thinking dear Debbie!
DeleteOhhh this is such a sad, sad story! I could well understand also feeling sorry for the instigator as well in a way. She doesn't realise life could be so much better and more pleasant.
ReplyDeletewell said my friend that life can be so peaceful and beautiful if they get rid of their negativity and complexes
DeleteA very sad story! True happiness comes from your soul!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Baili, for your prayer for Nel. I appreciate that very much. I'm so glad she's ok, as those storms can get fierce with much damage to the areas. Once it hit her area, the rain and winds started to lessen.
ReplyDelete~Sheri
Dear sheri it is great news that storm is getting slower by the time and i hope it will be ended soon by the grace of God .
DeleteI am so happy that your precious daughter and her husband are safe .May they be blessed with more peace my friend,amen
A very sad situation with your cousin Baili. She sounds such a bitter person. I have often heard that these individuals feel so bad about themselves, they strive to make others feel worse than they do. Such a toxic attitude is ruinous to anyone's peace of mind who comes into contact with her, and I feel very sorry for her husband and children. She will go through life with everyone avoiding her, so sad.
ReplyDeleteDear Denise you are so right about the psychology of such people .They suffer with weird complex of inferiority and self pity which they want to pour in each mind they meet.
DeleteBiggest problem of them that they always seek atten of others and can go far worse to get it
Such personalities are there to spoil the lives of people around.They are blind towards positives which they are blessed with and eye only the darker shades.Well explained her mood.
ReplyDeleteThank you my friend,
DeleteI totally agree with what you have said about such disastrous people
I'm sorry to hear about your cousin. A good reminder to be thankful and happy with our blessings.
ReplyDeleteSuch sad story, Baili. It's unfortunate how much havoc one unhappy person can cause. Especially sad is her daughter's suicide. Take care my friend!
ReplyDeleteOh dear, what a sad story. I do think many here may have experienced people who go through life never being happy and bringing unhappiness to others.
ReplyDeleteIt is important for us to keep smiling and bring as much happiness as we can to our family and friends.
Take Care
All the best Jan
People with no faith cannot be able to have peace in their heart and their restlessness and complexes be the disaster for who around them
