Am I wrong in being pissed off all the time?

[Fullmetal Anarchist]

Ok so am I wrong as stated before and at length I have a brain tumour, my family are for the most part scary conservative christian fundies and I'm broke. So why is it that people seem to get angry at me when by right I should be pissed at them?

There are Chrisitan fundamentalists in Slough?!

[Ele'ill]

Because they love you and it hurts them to see you unhappy.

True but at the end of the day it seems like no one gives a rat's arse. Apart from NoXion (who lets me hide out at his) and Jazzratt.

Ah, okay. See, my mum's family originate from a similar area and are weird working class Tories.

I'm orginally from the lower middle which may explain a lot.

I'm confused as to what your complaint is.

That they can't connect politically?

Mostly that at the moment it all seems to be going tits up all around and apart from a couple of people things in all areas are outta control.

In regards to what

[Fullmetal Anarchist]

In regards to my brain tumour. Basically I'm not being helped at all. All I'm getting for the most part is "We'll pray for you." or my pesonal fave "It's God's will." No-one family wise seems to give a shit about the fact I'm ill and all they seem to do is go off to their stupid fucking church meetings. All I want is a little bit of sense to prevail here instead of asking their stupid fucking sky pixie for help why the fuck don't they just talk to me and spend time with me. I just feel ignored and marginalised because I don't believe in said sky pixie. They won't talk to me properly they think I'm just rebelling and to make matters worse they're helping the church out more than me and I really need the help finacially as well as emotionally because at the mo I can't work and I'm in a really dark place.

Is it an operable tumor?

Are you at terms with your personal situation yourself?

Find a group that meets frequently- I know they're hard to find depending on location but it sounds like you could use some words of encouragement in person face to face.

Yeah they are (I have 3 but only 1 is really nasty) the op's are being done in stages due to the posistioning. I'll be in hospital quite a while.


Are you at terms with your personal situation yourself?

Honestly? No...Not really in the past 3 months I've lost my job, savings and health and in all honesty I'm at rock bottom. I'm stressed, tired and I've had enough I just want it all over with.

Tried that one as it's not cancer I'm outta luck I don't know what to do anymore it'd be nice if I had someone nearby that understands my situation and can talk over a cup of coffee with me. NoXion has been great but it would be nice if I could talk to someone who's had or having the same experience as me. Sorry I'm moping as usual I'm channelling my anger and fustration over the net these days it seems like my only coping mechanism.

You're not wrong at all. We all have a "right" to be pissed, but to what extent is debatable.

Dude, they're probably terrified for you. Religion can act as a way to deal with problems you don't want to face. Its probably that they are hiding behind the religious façade with blind faith, without knowing what else to do.

People deal with things in weird ways, and religion probably makes seeing one of your loved ones going through a terrible illness seem a lot more bearable; you can set aside crushing emotional difficulty and fear with prayer and the like, creating a distance between you and the problem at hand.

I feel for you, and I've seen things like this happen to friends, but its probably not their fault that they can't face the problem head on. Religion is still the opium of the masses and wraps people in cotton wool, rendering rationality and genuine emotions useless. It is their way of sitting down and talking things out with you; they talk to 'god' instead, as it is a way out of facing the reality of the situation.

I may have it wrong, just giving advice based on what I've seen with friends in religious families. When things go bad, compassion and rationality are channelled through prayer.

I wish you all the best, too.

Dude if I could thank here I would thanks for the support.

You don't need to thank me, I'm glad you could see it from another perspective.

Its hard to do when you're angry and you're right to be angry, but your loved ones mean well in their own way! People just deal with things in different ways.

Best wishes for the surgery.

[Ele'ill]

I am glad to hear that your health is being taken care of and that you're going to be alright (if even in a relative sense). I hope the best for you- keep posting when you can.

As for advice I simply do not have any as I have not been around super religious people very often. Take what good you can from them and leave the rest.

[Fullmetal Anarchist]

I'm just going on day to day but it's just getting me down that I can't control myself anymore.
