Rigby shares about Sandheaver and people make wild accusations

<< < (9/27) > >>

Rigby:
Sandheaver is my sister.  She broke up with her husband, quit her job, was throwing major fits at any man around, including me, and apparently a lot of you.

We both like arcades but I never thought to actually talk about it with others, until she showed me this site.  I was happy just talking about this stuff with her, but she said a few things during the chaos that will take a while to forget, so here I am, hoping to engage in constructive conversation about the hobby.

I won't comment on her behavior, but I am glad to see that there's some recognition of blame that isn't her own.  She dislikes many of you, and won't ever return here (so she says) but I can tell you right now that a lot of that is her doing, as it always is.

Yes, she is troubled.  She owns/owned a lot of neat machines and she's only truly at peace when she can focus on them.  At all other times she is.. one must learn to share space with her.  She never posted here unless she was drunk, if that explains anything.  Hopefully I can be less trouble to you.  :)

I denied relation to her a few posts ago, wishing to remain unconnected to any of her karma or reputation.  But, she's my sister, and denying the truth is folly.  I take the good with the bad, and I know that her attitude is due to a very abusive childhood at the hands of one of our mom's boyfriends.  Clawing at other people over the Internet is not even close to a workable solution, though.  She knows that, is embarrassed by her behavior, but won't be coming back.

I do share her verbosity and propensity for wild ideas, but I won't react like she did if you tell me I'm being stupid.

Cheers.  :cheers:

@Rigby
Sorry to hear about your sister. Stress sucks, abuse sucks more, and dealing with it through alcohol just makes it all that much worse.

Here's hoping she can slay her demons and get a chance to enjoy her hobby and her life.

 :stupid drventure is right, that stuff is bad news, and can be hard for anyone to deal with. I hope your sister can move on from her troubles at some point soon. It sounds like it has been difficult for you as well, but at the same time it sounds like you are there for her as family. :applaud:

I have a feeling she particularly disliked me, so I don't know if my words would ever hold bearing to her, but I say that she should totally come back if she ever feels ready to engage on a more stable level, attitude wise. Its a fun hobby, and I hate to feel like I was less than welcoming to a new member here, whether she had personal issues to deal with or not.
