Please take care of yourself, @saltandpepper ...I think you will, because of your little boy....but @Anastasia 's concern who knows you well is a bit worrying...I hope your time away from the forums helps with whatever you're needing at the moment. Thanks for letting us know you're taking a break. Take care...

Hmmm, I went looking @saltandpepper and I see how incredibly low you felt last night...I see why @Anastasia might be concerned.
You definitely are worth a lot, @saltandpepper . Please don't belive what your ex says about you. I know, easy to say, isn't it... But I hope you wake up this morning feeling better and stronger and with some hope.
Sending hugs, just in case your email notifications are on...

Hello @saltandpepper
Taking a break from the forums for a short term can be a good thing.
Stepping back allowing yourself to recognise what is reality and what is virtuality.
Those of us who have been on the forums for a while can at times feel overwhelmed by what is happening between the two; reality and virtuality.
Time out for yourself will hopefully guide you in the direction of where you currently need to place more focus; to help yourself as well as your son and the important relationship that the two of you have together.
You will know within yourself when you feel able to come back.
You will always be welcomed with open arms @saltandpepper as I know that you have made quite an impact on the lives of many of your friends here.
I am an acquaintance yet can sense how hard you are working through issues.
Perhaps think of it as servicing your car before problems arise.
All the best
Sophia
