Hi all, I have been through another learning experience, so bare with
me as I feel a little fragmented and slightly battered.:)) being a
pilgrim on the journey of life has its ups and downs. We have been
blessed with the opportunity of having neighbors that hate our guts. I
believe that they are very unstable. They have had domestic violence at
their house. The husband has kicked our sprinkler. They have divorced
and remarried each other. They will get into cursing and shouting
matches with each other and then she will go out and swing on the kids
swing. Their son put a golf ball through our window and then they
refused to pay for several months--called us white trash etc. This is
just to set the stage for you. We had a German shepperd for almost 15
years. For any dog lovers out there, you will know that the average
life span is 10 to 12. He was ancient and older than most of my kids
by the way. He had been bothered by arthritis for the past 6 months and
finally on the fated weekend he could no longer get up without help.
It was Sunday and I called my vet and they said they weren't open except
for emergency's(putting a dog to sleep isn't considered an emergency).
I gave him medecine for the pain and would sit him up several times
during the day to feed him and give him drinks. We decided to let him
sleep outside that night as it would be his last time to see the stars
in this physical form. About 5:00 monday morning, we were awakened by
the police saying that the neighbors had filed a complaint against our
dog for making noises. Sampson was resting quite peacefully and the
police went away. We took Sampson to the vet at 9:00 and put him to
sleep and brought him home with us and buried him in our back yard. It
was one of the saddest things I had done. Afterwards., my body wouldn't
work and I had to call in sick.(Anxiety attack?)Grief? The kicker came
2 days later when I got a letter from the animal defence league saying
that they had been informed that we had a animal at our house that was
being mistreated. The only was that I was able to deal with the anger
and rage that I expereinced from that incident was to put up a shield
between my house and theirs. I put up a two mirror so that whatever
they sent toward us would reflect back at them. Sure enough, 2 days
later 2 cop cars were at their house for a domestic disturbance.
Well the latest experience with them has been even more intense. We
have had my father inlaw living with us since October. He suffers from
Alzheimers, dementia, delusions and paranoi. We was threatening to
leave the nursing home and begged us to take him in. My husband loves
his dad and could not say no. So he moved in and immediately started
accusing us of the same things he accused the nursing home of. His
daily mantra was God Damn, Son of a Bitch, I've got to get the Fuck out
of here. Well to make a very long story short, he went to the
neighbors(the only neighbors that would do this by the way!) and told
them that we were poisoning him and stealing his money. Being lthe good
Christian folk that they are, they immediately called the police and pop
was taken by the Gastapo Social Services system and we are currently
under investigation. His diagnosis and pattern of behavior is well
documented and his social worker in the nursing home knows him very well
so I feel pretty strongly that things will work out okay. After getting
through the intial anger and rage and going inside, I was struck with
the impression that this was the work of divine consciousness. God/dess
knows that we would never have forsaken pop no matter how stressed or
miserable he made our life, so this burden was removed without any
effort on our part. Syncronistics at its best--and to use someone who
only wanted to hurt us. :))) I don't know if this is what is meant by
surrendering or not.
And just as a final note. I also don't believe in the death penalty.
Lock them up and if possible reprogram them. But we do not have the
right to take someone elses life.
All blessing and positive energy welcome as always.
Love, Cheryl
