Daily Check In Space

Well school pick up was a fail.

I slept through it. Darling didn't want to wake me. Today finished as a good day though.

Starting to wind up about a final work meeting tomorrow with leadership team but doing ok.

How is everyone today with the widespread wet weather. In our house the grey overcast and wet often brings challenges. It is not even safe to head out for a drive in our region to get out of the house due to flash flooding and road closures. May get out but get stuck and unable to come home due to roads being cut.

It has been an ok week here but feeling flat today due to the high energy nature of the week.

Feeling 5/10.

1) I'm feeling a little bruised after my daughter had another long angry episode early this morning. And a little fearful, for both her and her stepdad, about how their long car trip will go today.
2) I struggled to not spiral into a miserable state after they drove away. But I did well to manage myself and her when she had that angry episode, and to stop my own downward spiral.
3) I'm not going to clean and tidy the house this morning. Instead, I'm going to work on a creative project of my own.

@LondonCalling Blended families have extra loads. I know full well. Hope your daughter settles and can see some good in her step dad and you.

I am going through a lot in my caring role with my son.

3 questions for your daily check in:

1) How are you feeling?

Exhausted, confused, hurt, scared, defeated, empathic, angry

2) What is one thing you have struggled with, and one thing you have done well?

I managed to submit an essay that I thought was due next week after just 2 days! I have struggled with my partner's behaviours and attacks on me and my character. So much so that I've booked a hotel for 3 days because i need a break before i go down a dark pathway myself. He's saying things that dont add up, accusing, gaslighting, and I feel like this is an unsafe environment to be in. I keep trying really hard to think that this isnt him, just his illness but it feels too real and too frequent.

3) What is one nice thing you can do for yourself today? Aim for peace
