Hi there a d welcome to the forum.

It is now a better place now that you are in it.

Don't be afraid to speak about yourself to the degree you are comfortable with.

There's no judgement only love(and the occasional hug if you need one)

Once again welcome 😁

Welcome to the forums @Cazantal .

You've come to the right place. I hear it feels so lonely at the moment. There are many here who many be feeling a similar way, so we'd love to connect with you.

You deserve to be supported at this time.

I take my hat off to any parent, let alone a single mum of 4. I read that things have been rocky in the past. I'm sorry to hear about the trauma you have experienced.

You deserve to feel safe and supported.

Please know that we care.

Hello lovely! I am going to a concert to worship my Italian heritage and see an artist who holds some very strong emotions for me.

Some beautiful, some exceptionally distressing.

I am taking my wife and two adult kids. The kids are complaining that they don't know the songs, so guess which artist has been on repeat all week.....

HAhahaha @BipolarRich ,

They don't have a choice nor a reason to say they don't know!

Sounds like a lovely event coming up for you.

I love musicals and theatre, but because I take my niblings, everything has to be kiddo friendly. The youngest is 5 years old.

Enjoy and tell us how it goes for you!

Luckily for all forum members, you can't hear my pathetic attempts to sing.

However, I know and understand all the lyrics, so I guess I am playing translation buddy.

I love embarrassing my adult kids...so satisfied when I see them cringe 😬

Re: Welcome! Introduce yourself here 🙂

LOL @BipolarRich , as long as it's from the heart, nothing else matters!

Did you go today? Or is it tomorrow?

In response to: Re: Welcome! Introduce yourself here 🙂

Re: Welcome! Introduce yourself here 🙂

I am here in the foyer now.

Just found out a great friend of mine has sung with the artist TWICE....Bastard never told me this!
