Not Coping

Will have to look into that @Birdofparadise8 Never heard of it before.

I like things that are more light, I don't do well with Drama's.

All the xmas movies are starting to come onto tv too. Do you watch many of them?

Yes but my mum wants me to wait for when I go back to Hobart to watch some of them.

It's so good that it only goes for about 25 minutes. Very much well worth it. @Snowie

When do you go back to Hobart @Birdofparadise8 Are you home for long?

So I fly down on the 20th, and I'm staying until the 5th. My mum and dad are coming back over to help me move into my new 3-bed apartment on the 6th. I'll also have my uncle, aunt, cousin, and her husband helping. So it won't take too long.

Then Dad is staying until the 8th as he doesn't like being around Melbourne with crowds, and Mum is staying until the 12th. They are both on annual leave. @Snowie

I just hope it won't be too stressful as my Dad can get a bit much with all the complaining he does and a lot of other annoying things.

I also hope they respect my bouncers and Mum doesn't touch my breasts again like she did recently.

You have kids. Do you have a daughter?

Glad to hear you have got christmas with your family @Birdofparadise8

It's good that they can come back and help you move, but also understand the need to have your own space too.

Yes I have 2 kids. A son who is 16 and a daughter who is 18.

Can I ask about boundaries?

Would you ever go into their room or bathroom while they were on the toilet, in the shower or getting dressed?

My mum would and I've had to learn how to create boundaries with her. It has been difficult. @Snowie

I think it is important to have boundaries with people @Birdofparadise8 especially if you feel uncomfortable with them invading your personal space.

No doubt it has been difficult to create those boundaries with your mum but hopefully it helps. It is also really good if you have been able to express what boundaries you need in place.

It is something I struggle with as I lack the voice to speak up for myself.

It's a trick one, that's for sure. I just hope it will be okay when I come down @Snowie

It sounds like to me that you have a voice with speaking up @Birdofparadise8

I do hope your mum respects your boundaries without you having to say anything.

I hope so, and I hope my Dad as well. He leaves the bathroom door open while in there. It's so gross. I tell him to shut it, and he says I'm being too sensitive. @Snowie
