I thought I'd start a discussion where we can check in with members and use this space to keep in contact. It's a space to be able to say how you really feel and it's a space for the good, the bad and the ugly moments in our lives.

@Former-Member hi buddy 
What's happening for you today? Why do you need a laugh?

Hi @Zoe7
Thanks for your concern. Things came to head between my daughter and husband the other day and did get nasty. Daughter has pulled her socks up a little - but it's my husband, he isnt himself and I feel very alone at the moment. I am not feeling the love. I have been extraordinarily strong and loving and feel I don't deserve all this. I am wondering why I bother. Sorry to be such a downer at present. Tomorrow is another day and improvement may come.

Sorry to hear that @Former-Member
You don't deserve any of that. But I do love your attitude - tomorrow is another day - just get through today
It is so difficult when you get caught in the middle of two people you care about that aren't getting along. You can only do what you can do and the rest ultimately has to be for them to work out.
Even though you may not be 'feeling the love' at home - there is a lot of love for you here
Have you read the latest two posts on our awww NUTS thread - might give you a laugh - even if it is just for a little while.
Thinking of you and hoping that things improve for you at home - you deserve some peace and happiness
