Catch Up
The past few months where I have been absent have been a real roller coaster ride around here in Transformation Land O'Scott. Looking back over my posts I see that I stopped posting right around the time that my sister arrived here from Boston. Naturally. This was a tough spot for me, I ended up putting up her, her son and the Boyfriend/Father of Child. It was two solid weeks of pure T-Hell then got worse. I gave them my bedroom for the time and ended up feeling a stranger in my own home for a number of reasons. They fought like cats and dogs,,, wait a minute, my cats and dogs get along very well,,,, like...... ........ people unable to settle their issues as adults,,, how is that.??
I have always prided myself as living a life that is based on Change and transformation,, but as the saying goes you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink.... Nor can you make someone transform their personal situations faster than they can handle. Some just do not want to admit failure, my sister is one of them,, the relationship was doomed and no one but me was admiting it. So,,, who turns out to be the BAD GUY-------------Scott.
So, to make a long sad story short, my sister who has returned to Christianity, blamed my home, me and my lifestyle on destroying the chance for her and SpermDonor to kiss and make up. The quote that reverberates through my soul so horribly is : "FUCK YOUR RELIGION" straight out of my sisters mouth. I was honestly trying to set an atmosphere of transformation and change to good and it turned into a 'Scott is a demonic trying to 'cast magick' around to break up her and SpermDonor' that was the furtherest thing from the truth as I really did like SpermDonor,,, but could see he was just a bullshiter and someone more interested in smokin' and drinkin' than childrearing.... Sorry I pointed that out Sis. So needless to say, it ended badly and the psychic holes in my home where large enough to swallow a person whole,,, and I had to climb out as best as I could.
This all came on the heels of my mothers boyfriend of 10+ years dying and other assorted traumas. Some heavy baggage from the past slipped out in regards to issues my sister has not healed and trying to point her into a positive path of renewal didn't actually work the way I intended. I learned alot,, the main thing is YOU CAN'T HELP THOSE NOT READY TO BE HELPED. and Family is a bond that can sink you quicker than anything else, and sadly I had to release alot to be able to survive myself. My sister moved out to live with a group of Christians she hooked up with, the SpermDonor went back to Boston. The Child, well that is the part I am most hurt over as I love Tyler and really was enjoying being around him,,, but now am not allowed around him. I do think that the time I had with him will remain in his memory as one of the best times of his childhood---- minus the Mother/SpermDonor fights in my house. He loved my yard, the dogs and cats and all the objects that I have everywhere. He would 'help' me working in the yard..... I will miss the chance to be a part of his life,,, but time will tell. My sister and I talk rarely now,,, and she was the closest to me of all my family so that does hurt alot. Hopefully the day will come where things go back to a 'normal' relationship between us. I am open to that, not sure she ever will be again since my lifestyle is so demonized by her own religion. Sad, but a true story. Transformations sometimes hurt.

Oh, Scott! This is so sad! When you stopped posting I thought it might have something to do with the sibling relationship. My heart breaks for you, and for your nephew. Trust me, he will seek you out some day.
My own experience with tight-knit Christian groups is that eventually they turn upon their own and nasty fights erupt. So if your sister is feisty, it won't be too long until her little support group stops supporting and starts tying and binding. The fact that she could say "F**** your religion!" tells me she'll have trouble holding her tongue amongst the One Godders as well.
In the meantime, lay low and pray for your nephew, ask Queen Brighid to smooth a path between you and him. Blood is thicker than water. My sister and I have agreed to disagree, and we are now friends again. It took time.
I might not agree or understand someone belief but I would never say "fuck your relgion" How narrow minded.
Sorry to hear that you haf family trouble my hubby and I have an issue with his one brother.
Sure hope time will heal all wounds.
Some words of wisdom you've written here Scott. "YOU CAN'T HELP THOSE NOT READY TO BE HELPED. and Family is a bond that can sink you quicker than anything else" So true. I learned that the hard way too.
I agree with Anne, your Sis will prob get sick of this and even if she doesn't, Tyler will look for you again when he's older.
Sorry you had a rough patch there. People fighting in your house is bound to be stressful and disruptive enough, when they don't turn their hostilities on you!
Also, her behavior doesn't sound all that Christian. LOL. But, that's typical too.
Poor Jesus. He's such a cool guy and he gets assigned this weird role by so many people.
I'm sorry to hear about all the problems with your sister. It sounds to me like she is feeling a lot of anger and took it out on you. Your nephew is a cute little guy. Don't give up, as he grows older he will come to understand more and more. Juat keep the door open between you and him.
Thanks everyone for the supportive comments, I would have never thought my sister and I would ever come to this but things like this are meant to make us grow. So, I look at it and try to understand my own fault in the matter. Tyler is a cutie, and I am sure that we will have a relationship again one day. As I will with my sister, she needs to heal and that is what I want for her. Thanks again everyone!!!
Desr Scott... I am so sorry to read of all the troubles that you've experieced of late. I know it hurts so much, as I remember you used to write of how close you and your sister were.
I hope that time will heal you both and that you two can forgive and begin again.
Keep the doors open for Tyler so that he knows that no matter how things are between you and his mom, that he is always welcome and embraced in your life.
No one ever did say that Transformation is easy, but I'm sorry that you had to experience all of this. I always wish that lessons and change didn't have to hurt so much.
I'm sending you all my positive thoughts, light and prayers.
Nova
You have such a good soul, Scott.
Good to see you back blogging.
Sometimes, when we think our lives are falling apart, they are in fact falling together!
Hey Nova and Barbara glad to hear from you and everyone else,, I still am edging back into blogging.. so am still just dipping toes at the moment. I promise to visit everyone's blogs very soon. I am reading some,, not commenting alot yet. But that will change soon. Right now I am still collecting my thoughts on the past few months. Thanks to you all as it has really lifted my spirits to hear from all my old blogging family. and yes Barbara,,, they are falling together!!!!!
Hello Dear One!
Grrr......... its amazing how anyone will purchase a religion, use someone else's. borrow someone elses's and be quite happy when its easy and apaptently working to their benefit... and then turn on it as soon as its not working how they WANT it to work.
Sounds like a good thing, the sperm donor wasn't supposed to be part of her process.... now he is gone...THAT IS GOOD!!!!
I am a little cut and dry as of late it seems..... eye opening changes .... all is evolution.
Peace and Blessings.
Lil Sparrow
Lil Sparrow,,, I like cut and dry,,,,, and yes Evolution can not be denied. People may not believe in it but physically and spiritually Evolution is the Process of the Universe. Grow or Die. Transform with, because if you fight Change, it will change you regardless.
Love hearing from you,, hope you are well.
*hug*
seems like you needed one - even if it is virtual.
your sister will come to her senses again. And Tyler will always idolize you for being such a cool uncle, and as long as your door is always open for him he will come to you eventually.
My sister had a period as a Jehovas witness, and doomed both me and my mom to hell. Boy that hurt! Not for me - but I felt so incredibly sad for her, that she actually believed she would go to heaven and all her family would go to hell just because we were not JWs. She got out, and is now a happy pagan. She is accepting and loving, and much more whole as a person. Pray that your sister might go through a transition too. Not necessarily become a pagan, but at least that she can embrace whats important also in Christianity: love for all living beings - and in particular for your family!!
oh - and btw - do you have any suggestions for great driving music?? visit my blog and share your wisdom..
Hi Scott! Thanks for dropping by my blog! :)
Sad. I don't know why people act like this. We've experienced something similar. After moving to Belgium, my in-laws threw us and their three year old granddaughter out onto the street. Why? My (pagan) husband has a couple of (concealed) tattoos (which they found about about from one of my BILs). That started the fight and we haven't spoken since. I believe that some people are very insecure in themselves and try to force others to believe what they believe to validate themselves.
I feel badly for your nephew. Poor kid. What an example from his "Christian" mother.
