Well, I Finally Did It!
First of all, let me just say hi! I’m still here and kicking; I’m just very busy with school and work right now and it’s leaving me no time for stitching, blogging or any other extra-curricular activities. I will try to do better than to blog once a month, though. I just can’t guarantee that I’ll have anything to say.
Anyway, on to my topic for the day. I’ve been thinking of writing to Dr. Phil for years about my relationship (or complete lack thereof) with my brother, asking for help. Well, I finally scrolled through their list of upcoming show ideas and I submitted my information. I really, really hope that someone will contact me because my family sure could use some serious help. I don’t think I’ve ever talked about it here because I don’t like to air our dirty laundry, but I will say that I haven’t seen my brother in over a decade and I have never met my sister-in-law, my niece or my nephew. I would have to look up the birthdates of my niece and nephew, but I think that they are about 10 and 8 years old now. My brother refuses to speak to me, our mother or our father. We’re not even 100% positive where he lives. It’s just a pretty sad situation for our family, as we all three miss him a lot.
BTW, for those of you who live outside of the U.S., Dr. Phil is a psychologist who is on t.v. everyday and helps people across the country with their issues. He has a lot of resources at his disposal to be able to find and reach people that no one else can, so I really think he might be able to help.
We could really use this kind of help, so if you feel so inclined, I would appreciate your positive energy and good thoughts towards getting the Dr. Phil show involved so that we can resolve this mess.
