Anyone else cracking open a bottle at 3 in the afternoon? Feeling shitty. I don't even know why really, just been feeling shitty alot lately. I shouldn't have started drinking, just one I tell myself, just one because I have to function tonight when my boy comes over... i just want to go to drink and pass out. Anyone around?
In response to: Help. Please.

Really glad he's got a bit of clarity around it all and he's come back ok. Yeah, I hear ya. But I mean would his head not be all over the place anyway? Kids got a lot on his mind yeah? Clock some more dance time with him, it'll do him good.
Do you have to go to work though? I mean, yeah can imagine it'd create a shit storm there, but you're entitled to time off. Your allowed to say fu*k it and stay home with your son if you want/need to. Work isn't number 1, you and your boys are.
Always happy to listen @Anastasia though I am also a drinker. Currently drunk now. Not drunk drunk. Just drinking.

What you say makes sense. He's playing guitar might duck out for a jive 😉😜😂
I need to go and me staying here won't change anything for him tomorrow. Its my issues not his. I need to give him the space to grow, hope that makes sense.
Just soooooo hard. I need to dig deep. But I will and he'll be fine and so will I. He has an 1130 appointment so will ask himeti come for lunch, that'll be nice 🤗
Going to call it a night stay safe sweets and thank you for listening 🎧🙏💞

Yeah of course, makes complete sense. Would be incredibly hard for you, I couldn't imagine.
Yeah lunch would be good. Help to have a check in during the day.
Good kid, playing the guitar, would be therapeutic too I imagine.
Have a good day tomorrow @Anastasia and hope you get a good rest tonight

Blargen fargen it is so fu*king hard to try and get any work done. Getting dangerously close to shooting myself in the foot again and I can not afford to lose this account. But faaaark I'm struggling to get anything done here. Cause getting the actual work done isn't taxing enough, but I have to fight my brain just to get it done too. Just. Fu*k depression. Just fu*k it.
