Parent/Family Stages of Grief

well, yeah, thats great i liked it

 

My mom blazed through the first three stages. She asked atleast one question from each in order. Now she's stuck on stage four and won't let go. She scared off this one guy I was dating telling him to "back the F**k off my boy!" I never heard from him again.

My step-dad has to be in stage one. He hasn't even talked to me about it.

If my dad knows (because my mom likes to run her mouth to the family even though she tells me she won't) He's in stage one too.

I think my mom will come around for fear of losing me in her life.


(wow that sounded angry)

 

Hmm I think I went through some but not all of those. I definitely did the bargaining one, but I wasn't angry at myself and never hated myself. I'm now at stage 5..pretty much..and slowly starting to come out to people.

 

I'm a number 5.

 

I was talking to my mom the other day about me...


She blazed through the first couple in the first couple minutes. I got that much right. But now it appears that she's talked herself back into stage one.

 

Heh, I read that and remembered back in 5th grade or so when I was going through the 'this can't be true...this can't be me' stage. And I remembered myself as I progressed. Dating 10 or so girls...only to end up gay, from the guild trips...and then the coming out. Some of the quotes on that list are pretty dang accurate too. Really beneficial for someoen to read...not just once too.

 

I sometimes alternate between 4 and 5. I had quite a bargaining stage though...

 

the fact that there is a grief stage is a problem in istelf

 

Why is this thread not stickied?

 

It's listed in the sticky Support and Advice Resources thread. We had nearly half a page of stickies and it was getting out of hand so went for one sticky list rather than lots of sticky threads.

We are looking at another option though...
