I'm so sick of hearing...

"God never gives you more than you can handle"

yadda yadda yadda... I'm sorry, God could have stopped a long time ago thank you, before I had the nervous breakdown leading me to medication so I can take care of my kids.

Sorry I'm just sick of hearing it. I've lost alot of faith in God lately.

Amen, sister...

I usually try to be the most positive person in the world, but lately, it's been rough. I don't know how I'm going to make it through the next few months.

My favorite version of that quote is... "God never gives us more than we can handle, but sometimes I wish he didn't trust me so much." -- I can relate to that one better. -- I have gone the opposite of you and found renewed strength in God the past month or so (After a long stretch of having ZERO faith). No matter how discouraged you may be, know that He has a plan...I, myself, am just starting to realize it. Sending thoughts and prayers your way. Smile

Agreed! Right now, there is more on my plate than there should ever be on anyone's plate.

I hate when people say that. It makes me want to scream and throw things.

I'm glad I'm not the only one. And its usually people who have never been in my situation and have NO clue what its like.

I'm sorry God, I've had enough... you can stop now please

This is why I believe that God doesn't really have anything to do with my situation. He can't make DB be a better person. It's all in his poor decisions and addiction problems. It's funny because his "faith" is so strong and he thinks "God will heal him" and yet he is in jail, still an addict. He needs to realize he needs to make the right choices and get his own willpower instead of expecting miracles from above.

I've been feeling like this ever since DS was born. NOT because he was born BUT because of his helath issues. My aunt is a pastor and i've grew up in church and I really did believe in miricles and praying. But my DS still has his Trach and G-Tube and I still don't know how long this could be for. Its hard i've been through a lot. And then his dad just glanced at him asked me why he was like that and walked away! Heartless a$$ BOY because he is no where near being a man. I am grateful my family helps me out a lot but it's very stressful. Sorry this was your vent but I so agree with you.

I get that one a lot too. My favorite is "Everything happens for a reason."

I just want to scream "Oh really? Please give me the reason my 4 year-old was raped, because I haven't figured it out yet." Angry

Grrr, I know people mean well, but man they can be dumb.

I find that people who say this never have had much adversity in their lives. It is frustrating to me to associate with people like this. I guess I should be more sensitive in that you can't know what it's like being a SP until you have gone through it, but many times these comments come off as callous.

I think sometimes others just don't know what to say. I appreciate people just lending an ear and giving a hug much more than offering canned advice like this. It seems insincere.

I'm not a particularly religious person, but...

amen!

As a previous poster said, those that quote this little gem are those that have never had much difficulty in their lives. Otherwise, they'd be bitter too!

I couldn't agree more! I had a mini blow up at my mom last week because she keeps saying crap like this to me and I finally couldn't take it anymore! I don't want to hear that everything happens for a reason, that this is all part of God's plan, that God wouldn't give me more than I could handle, and that eventually things will work out for me! This situation sucks....just recognize that and stop trying to blow sunshine up my a$$!

allyandpat2010 · October 2010

I'm sooo glad you ladies get it!

Mizzizzle · October 2010

I am on the agreeing side of this all.

I don't think God really wanted the DB that wasn't in my son's life for 9 months to suddenly be able to take him away from me a few times per week and I have no say in it whatsoever.

Yeah. Don't think so.
