Far and Away

@BlueBay

Its good to hear from you my sister.Hope the feeling passes for you soon. I amazed at all that you do for you and your family. Glad you were doing your knitting- what are you making? So happy you have your precious little A.

And I understand you not being here too much.I know you care always, its a struggle to keep up with everything happening on the forum. I have not been here much of late. Remember to be gentle on yourself.

Good afternoon @oceangirl @Faith-and-Hope @BlueBay @Zoe7 @Lee82 and anyone else around. Hoping your day is going ok. 💌💟💖

I hear you hun and I completely understand about how you are feeling. I go through the same things with my mum so I have also done the best I can to not tell her anything and try and keep most things to myself. It just makes things so much easier to handle. I feel your pain hun. I really do and I am so sorry you have to deal with it too but at the end of the day you have to do what makes you happy and no one else. It is your life and that's all that matters. This is something I tell myself all the time but I am yet to follow that advice. I know it to be true and right but I also understand how damn difficult it is to do.
holding your hand my friend sending you gentle hugs.
@Zoe7 ❤️

Not doing the best at the moment @oceangirl

what about you?

Sorry to hear you are not doing the best @Lee82 Am around for a bit if you need to chat or sit 💟

You are spot on @Lee82 and whilst I tell myself the same it does still hurt when those in our family are not as happy as we are for what we want to do. They tried to get me to go to see a movie with them this week that I was in no way interested in and when I suggested an alternative my mother commented that it wasn't something she thought I would be interested in - it was about an art heist so combining my love of art and criminolgy - further evidence she does not know me at all despite conversations we have had over a long time about shows I like to watch and what I would like to study further

@Snowie 💙💙💙

Thank you so very much @Snowie

Sitting with me would be great. How you doing?

@Lee82

So sorry to hear this. Unfortuantely I have to do the same with my family. It causes a mixture of feelings not sure how to move past it though. I never really understood why I did this but I think its a way to protect myself and because I don't feel emotionally safe. I'm not sure if you are similar in that regard. It can be with family but also with others, if I don't feel safe, I don't talk or very little and prefer to keep things to myself. Its not conscious thing I do, its quite automatic- I hope this makes sense.
