I'm 99% sure that she's been talking about that one before my Dad died, and it's been 4 years for him.
Was it really 3 years ago?

She used to talk about how great her mum was as a person when she was alive
then she talked about her death.

It's one of my (many) pet hates, Gonz
My Dad's also dead, so are my grandparents. I'll be sympathetic when it happens, but if somebody's still harping on about it year after year later, they really need to man the fuck up.

I'm with you on this one sir
I'm sure it's a horrible thing to have to go through, but harping on about it on the internet isn't going to help, is it?

I think the trouble is, I had head-problems before he went, and some of them were related to him....
... but it's all to easy to blame all those head problems on them dying because it's something nobody can do anything about. Dont' get me wrong, it's pretty horrific, but it wasn't the start or end of my head problems.

After 20 years
I still get little triggers every now and again. Usually if I'm massively stressed about something.

Oh'aye', deffo, when you see some sweets they liked or a cirtain smell goes in the air or something like that.
It won't go away 100%, but I bet it's a damn site easier than the day/week/month/year after it happened.

Hell yeah.
The thing is it was so long ago now I can't even remember the exact date, or the exact nature of the cancer she had; only that it was fucking everywhere by the end. Is that awful?

Perfectly normal
Unless you're a maudlin, beakering attention-seeker who can't let go of any details because you can use it to get sympathy.

Thank Christ for that.
I mean, I can remember the date that the first episode of Doctor Who was broadcast, and when my wife's birthday is, but I was worried that not being able to remember the anniversary of my Mum's death made me some kind of monster.

Can you do an impression of a monster this weekend?

(Bazongaloid, Fri 27 May 2011, 10:42, Reply)

Sure thing.
I'll just sleep without my mask on. Or, you could just ask me when my Mum died and HEY PRESTO!

I really do think that is unfair, she's not beakering for sympathy
She is obviously completely messed up by it, I mean, she had a few issues before it happened, what with all the fishing and stuff, but she's completely lost it since her loss.

You're a horrible man.
Which must make me a complete arsebadger as I lolled heartily.

If you think that, Al
You might also want to think about being a bit kinder to her about it. Or just leaving her alone. Trolling someone for being a beakering prick I can understand, but not the other.

Unless I missed the point.

No I think you're spot on the money there
I will just leave it alone in future.

I would just add though, to try and show that I'm not a total monster,
that I have only previously mentioned the cats and punching of strangers, I wasn't expecting such an animated response regarding her mother which I why I pointed out that she appeared to have some serious issues and then left it.
