Re: Caring for the carer

Thank you for allowing me to express my anxiety and support on forum and email @tyme @FloatingFeather @Shaz51 Yesterday I was so anxious and si was flying.

I ended up having a lovely evening and my son went out had a good night too. Issues around acceptance and belonging are huge for me. Working on standing up for myself with humour and directness is slowly having good effects in my relationships and I am not simply in submission mode but a full player.

Re: Caring for the carer

@Appleblossom sorry for the late reply. Glad things were a bit better. Yes, I had struggled with boundaries/ submitting to the point of losing myself. Hearing you there. Glad to hear full player mode is being engaged.
