CONFESSIONAL thread (ANONYMOUS so tell us the juicy stuff!)

This thread has also caused me to unexpectedly connect with someone pleasant, so I thank you for your part in that, Holdfast!
 
Ask yourself: "What would Lucy and Ethel do?"
I was thinking: "What would Janet and Chrissy tell Jack to do?" :rommie:

That story about the grandfather was very sad and disturbing. I'm sorry that person had to remember that. :(
 
Confession: I wrote this on an application. The place I applied to had excerpt of funny applications posted on their wall and encouraged people to be funny when filling out their application, so:

What did you do about it? (in reference to a previous question about a problem at work)

"We all bitched & moaned on lunch break since the boss didn't seem to be bothered by it.
Standard employee proceedure."

:lol:

The important question is- did you get the job?
 
That grandfather story was very sad, my sympathies to whoever it happened to. :(

Once again I realise I was VERY lucky in my choice of parents.
 
^ In some Oriental philosophies they believe that unborn children (or better, the souls that are being born again - reincarnation concept) actually choose their parents, in order to fulfill whatever part of their experience/journey is missing.

That's how I remember it, it could be slightly different though. :shifty:

Happy endings are NOT the aim of the Confessional Thread. :mad:

:D

You time-travelled and are your own father, aren't you? :(


A couple more:

I once found myself in love with another member of the TrekBBS.

A year ago my girlfriend and I were on very shaky ground due to large amounts of stress my then job was putting on me and our relationship. A person who I thought was my friend used her fragile emotional state and invited her to a party to help her relieve some of that stress. He got her drunk and took advantage of her. Flash forward and I have quit that job and my career is on the right track. My girlfriend and I are engaged and we have gotten past that dark time in our life. We are both happier than we've ever been. That 'friend' has been chastised and exiled by almost everyone he was ever friends with and is completely out of our lives. There's just one thing that keeps haunting my mind. Because of the timing, there's a 50/50 chance that my now two-month old son is not mine. I love him so much, and I know that will never change, but I know for his sake we have to find out if I'm his biological father or not because I don't want to put him through that kind of trauma when he's older. I keep putting it off, though, and I'm having trouble finding the strength to face the truth whatever that might be.
 
For that last confession.

Whatever happens, whoever it turns out provided the sperm. Never, ever, forget you are your son's father.

Fatherhood is so much more than chromosones.

Fatherhood (and motherhood) is who gives him the hugs, who helps him through the night, who helps him roll over, helps him crawl, helps him walk, who changes his diapers, who gets vomited on, who gets mushed up carrot spat all over him (that's something to look forward to :) )

Enjoy this time, your baby is so precious. Don't waste it wondering who provided the sperm. Find out for medical reasons, and be done with it. YOU are his father.
 
I do hope it's sorted out for that poor baby's sake. It's not the baby's fault after all, he/she has done nothing wrong at all. It seems completely unfair the baby's treatment should lay in the hands of a soulless, cold, calculating, blood test. :(

Exactly. Blood-relations only go so far.
 
Yep. Blood relations really only do go so far. I haven't seen my biological father since I was eight. But my stepfather is my father. My stepbrother is my brother. We may not have genetics between us but we are more of a family than most biological ones are.

And my biological sister's kids actually think they are going to grow up to be tall like their grandfather, who is 6'6". None of us have thought to tell them that genetically they might have to settle with being 5'10". And yes, I just now realized that. :rommie: I guess that really does show that we forget that we only related by marriage.

(And the only reason why a genetic test would be necessary in this situation would be to determine parentage for health reasons. Doctors use family histories more and more these days to determine health risks and testing regimens.)
