Need prayers & love

Post by FlorenceM » Wed Dec 10, 2025 12:21 pm

Hi gals
I know I've been MIA for a while. But DDIL pitched a fur because I used a box of royal frosting mix she left here a yr ago. She freaked, DS called me cursing me out. Then DS called Joe who was working on kids van and yelled at him. Joe screamed at me. Joe realizes he mistook situation when I threw up for 2 days. I have boxed EVERYTHING she has here for "us" to use. If I didn't buy it, I won't touch it. I may have Gone too far when I destroyed the photo album of cakes I made over the years.
Please pray I find peace. The hurtful words won't stop ringing in my ears.
Flo

Hi flo
Sorry about your family squabble it's the time of year when tempers flair up they have to figure things out so when you get a chance go and buy her another box of royal frosting.
Prayers go out to you and your family.

FLO - so sorry about the family crisis. They say no one can hurt you like your children. To pitch a fit like this over a box of frosting probably means it really isn't about the frosting. I hope as time passes you all will be able to sit down and talk it out.

Hugs! And for the record - you are not alone! It seems nearly every family we know has a similar situation going on and it's usually at the holidays. God bless!

Flo--after you have dealt medically with over the last few years. You need problems over a box of icing like you need another UTI. I hope your DS has time to re-think his hurtful words to you. You have always been there for your family for whatever was needed, and this is not fair to you. I hope all calms down soon.

Flo, families can be frustrating. I hope this doesn't fester and instead both of you can forgive each other and go back to being a caring family.

Flo, Sending you hugs ๐Ÿ’ž ๐Ÿ’ž It sounds like DIL has something else going on and used the frosting as an excuse to blow up. As for you throwing up for 2 days, was it stress or is your body telling you to see a Dr? Buy a new box of frosting and tell her you did her a favor by using the old stuff.
Sending prayers that this will all work out.

Sending you hugs as well. I hope that Joe has gotten his head out of his you-know-what and decided to defend his wife against an unprovoked attack. I get why DS would stick up for his wife, but..... over a box of frosting that can be easily replaced? After all you've done for them? DS yells at Joe, while Joe is out fixing THEIR vehicle?

And I hope that DDIL will come an apologize.

I know its late but just getting to read posts, I am sending hugs and love. Families all have moments that no one ever finds out what the trigger was. I believe something else is going on and the frosting just lit the
fireworks. YES words are hurtful. You and us all you meant no harm, you are so special, helpful beyond words even at a moments notice. You are a giving person. I am sorry DH also yelled at you. Pick yourself up, take a deep breath, feel all of our hugs, and go on forward. Put some time and distance between DS and DIL and hopefully DH will come around but show them all you are resilliant, strong and moving on will show you are forgiving (even though we all know you are badly hurting) and take little steps forward and feel our hugs and move forward. Time will heal things. They are dependent on you helping so much ( I thought) so they will come to realize they goofed up. Try to move forward as only dwelling on it hurts you more.
We love you and send hugs.
Stay in touch,
TinaB

Flo I didnt see this till this morning but my heart goes out to you. i will ask God to comfort you. Maybe a new box of frosting will solve the problem but I think there are other things causing the outburst,,,How did she find out you used it? Maybe just replace the box of frosting and put it with the other stuff she has left there,,,Dont send it oveer to her but let her know you are willing for her to come and get it and maybe have a conversation,,,xxxooo
