Sinead O ' Connor's facebook post

This is Sinead O ' Connor 's facebook post which got a lot of people scrambling to locate her soon after . 

Am reading into it without taking into regard that she is bipolar . Reading it as a mom and wife . Reading into it while considering her contribution to the music scene . Reading it to remind myself of what matters most .

There is only so much any woman can be expected to bear. What was done to me this week was appalling cruelty. By my husband, my family, by St Pats and by An Gardai Siochana, by my son, Jake and by Donal Lunny and Angela singleton, by my son's girlfriend, his friends... after everything I've been put through and been forced to go through alone .. And punished for having to go through since I had the surgery on August 26th. Or since Shane became unwell in March, This week has broken me. The withholding of my babies from me without any sound reason by their fathers, Frank and Donal, and by Jake and the rest of my family, is a horrific set of betrayals. And has been going on since I had my surgery. The last two nights finished me off. I have taken an overdose. There is no other way to get respect. I am not at home, I'm at a hotel, somewhere in ireland, under another name
If I wasn't posting this, my kids and family wouldn't even find out. Was dead for another fortnight since none of them bother their hole with me for a minute. I could have been dead here for weeks already and they'd never have known. Because apparently I'm scum and deserve to be abandoned and treated like shit just when I've had my womb and ovaries chopped out and my child is frighteningly sick. I'm such a rotten horrible mother and Person, that I've been alone. Howling crying for weeks. And been told by them all t go fuck myself. I'm invisible. I don't matter a shred to anyone. No one has come near me. I've died a million times already with the pain of it. So yeah.. Strangers like me.. But my family don't value me at all. They wouldn't know if I was dead until weeks from now if I wasn't fucking informing them now.
well done guys, you've finally got rid of me. Sorry the penny didn't drop sooner. I'm an idiot. When you planned to get me away from my babies did you plan for me losing my mind over it? It being the final straw? For how you're gonna explain why I died? Make sure you tell the truth. BARRY.. THEY WONT. YOURE THE ONLY ONE WHO KNOWS ME OR THE TRUTH. PLEASE STAND FOR ME AND TELL IT. i can't play twister. My children don't care if I live r die anyway. Neither do their dads. Everyone is better off. Never ever do this to a woman again. Let this be your lesson. I survived it when John waters did it.. I can't survive Jake doing it.

What I can see , is that her kids mean the world to her and that she's truly hurting and empty inside . 

While we cannot prevent sickness , we do have the power to be a better person to our loved ones . Wealth is immaterial .

Love your partner , treasure him , you can look but please do not play . Men treasure that .

Most of all make sure your kids know you will always be there for them no matter what .

Hope we take a leaf from this page of her life and I sincerely hope she gets well soon .

That being said , I remember the lonely illustrious figure who used to patronise a roaster in Pulau Tikus . You would never imagine how wealthy he was but he led a lonely empty life with 'kids' in their 50s that came home drunk every night . So the hawker , a Chinese man who looked like one who didn't care a damn but takes another Chinese to know how caring the heart is , he became his confidante , his shoulder to cry on . 
In the last months , he still attended charity events where ' friends' were aplenty ....those people so eager to name drop . He passed away all alone in the end but you would not have guessed it when you saw the guest list .
