I've also been in a ton of pain and had a terrible stomach for weeks, which I think is contributing to all the badness.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Physical pain and illness amplify any emotional/mental issues by a factor of 10, in my experience.
Teppy, did you get that new IBS med? Is it helping?
Oh yeah, my favorite was when my mom left me at a gas station on a road trip. She did her usual glance in the back seat and counted 1,2,3, Where Is Laura!! My older sister calmly let her know that I was in the gas station rest room. After they turned around and drove back I was just standing there in the parking lot wondering where they had all gone.
Hah, we did that once at the pool when my sister was little. We were with family friends who had 5 kids, so I think we left the two youngest behind because we thought they were hiding in the back of the van? Something like that.
A family once left a kid at a garage sale that my family had. There were a few families going to a bunch of garage sales together, and apparently, when they left ours, everyone thought this kid was in someone else's car. She was just two or three years old, and only knew Spanish.
My parents' left me behind when they moved! I mean, they realized after a little while they forgot me, but still.
Yeah, my first DH came home from school and his mother had moved and never mentioned it to him. Now I had my issues with her, but I hope it was inadvertent.
According to family lore, my dad stabbed me with a diaper pin while changing me when I was just a few months old. He said I didn't cry, I just looked up at him like "Daddy, how could you?" which made HIM cry.
