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.

Hi @Former-Member
Sorry i didnt answer last night, got distracted. I'm glad you're going ok at the moment. sometimes just focussing on sucessfully getting through each day is enough. oh yes, teachers... i think its sometimes kind of expected that teachers do 65hr weeks so that we 'deserve' school holidays (where lots of us spend at least several days doing school stuff anyway!). next week we have a special school evening and shared dinner for the upper year levels, plus teacher interviews working iwth an interpreter. i doubt we'll get home before 6/7 most nights. i'm already exhausted. doh!
today was white ribbon day which was a very difficult day for many of my kids. hearing their stories was difficult (im sure that sounds selfish i'm sure!)
My ex has not yet wanted to start all of the settlement process but i'm expecting that to change soon. its been a crappy few weeks with everything to do with him. sigh!
I hope that your sorting of stuff goes as smoothly as it possibly can... and fairly. 😞

I'm so sorry to hear that you've lost someone so close to you. I'm glad that you're feeling at peace with having been able to see her and let her know what you wanted to.
many hugs,

Thanks for checking in @Former-Member. I know we caught up last night but wanted to say good luck with all the family court stuff. I gather it hasn't been going so well. I hope the last few weeks of school gets better. Take Care

Hi @PeppiPatty
How are you going now? I hope things have settled for you a bit. I read you've had a difficult time of late too.
