Raging Mad!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mood
Wednesday, July 16, 2008 | A Call For Help story

I need extreme insight.

Friends I am lost and I am just beyond words really.

I need every bit of counsel you can muster so here it is...

 

My father promised me a car at 16..............never got it.

My father promised my oldest daughter if she graduated highschool, became a christian, kept her virginity he would buy her one when she graduated.

Well not only did she graduate...she graduated early......She is still a virgin as she is afarid to even use tampons for fear of it "making her unpure'.....

She became a Christian years ago.

Now then here is the worst.........My parents favor one of the 7 grankids vary openly.He gets everything, and is openly loved on,bought things for,given things, allowed things, and has special privelages the others are not.

He is not the oldest.My Brittany is by 2 years.

Nw then here is what has taken place.

My dad purchased him a car!!!

And went to take Brittany 'looking' at cars while we where in Dallas with Lily at the doctor.

Yet he made the deal and landed the car for the favored grandson right in front of Brittany.

Brittany has a secure job,and favored grandson only mows yards.

Favored grandson is only 15 has no permit and my father lied to the state and is using my sisters dissability top help favored grandson get a hardship faster!!!

Favored grandson lives with my parents as my sister moved back in with her abusive husband she had left about 6 months ago...anyway..........Brittany is so sad......plus hurt.......plus on bed rest as she has bronchitis and sinus infection and inflammed chest wall she is on 6 meds and very sick and well this just makes it worse.

I am so angry.

I just do not know what to do friends.

Help me

Please

    I am sorry that this is happening. Maybe you could metion to him that Brittany made a comment that she doesn't feel treated the same (even if she didn't). It will just put the idea in his head. It may make him realize that he doesn't. No grandfather wants his grandchild feeling un-loved. BIG HUGS to you. I will keep her in my prayers that she feels better soon.

    This, sadly, happens in a lot of families. And as there is a pattern going back to his own children of promises given and not carried through I don't feel that anything that you can say or do will help here. It is very wrong of him, extremely hurtful to Brittany and while you could try talking to him I feel that in the end you will have to sit down with Brittany and try and explain it to her. That life sometimes gives you heaps of lemons and then try to help her see how she can make the lemonade. I know that she will appreciated the car that she will end up buying a lot more than the one her cousin has given to him as it will mean so much more. It will hurt her, and you . But only can decide if it is worth making an issue of this or not. Just one question, is this the oldest grandSON? If so maybe that is a part of it. But the worst thing was for him to take her shopping for the kids car. That would really hurt. Hope that she feels better soon and gets over this infection.

    Oh...am so sorry you feel badly let down. And Brittany, too. Why do families behave in this way? Can't he see how unreasonable he's being? Did he forget the promise he made? Hope Brittany feels better soon. x
