Far and Away

I will no doubt be worrying about Clover the whole time I am at work too @Snowie but she really is settling in well ...just need her to eat and drink now.

Money is a great motivator

I'm sure you will be thinking about her the whole time at work @Zoe7

Hopefully she is ok during the day without you there.

Yes, money is a great motivator 😁 She seems to be going well with her part time job. Just hoping she can manage that, school and homework all at the same time.

I have more toys that a pet store in my room for her @Snowie and blankets and beds everywhere - so she should be okay. I will leave biscuits and water for her and keep the door closed during the day so it is just her space for that time. Tobes gets super excited when I come home and won't stop jumping until I give him a cuddle so I can do that, pat Cat and then let Clover out ...going to be a fulltime job in itself looking after all these fur babies lol

I am sure your D will cope - from everything you have said about her she is a smart and determined young lady - you have done really well there Hon

Thanks @Zoe7 All we can do is teach them right and hope that they turn out ok.

Haha, it will be a full time job. I can imagine Tobes jumping up and down when you get home! They get so excited to see us.

Hopefully Clover goes ok in your room. I am also sure that all 3 are spoilt rotten with toys and treats!

I found Clover earlier in her carry bag so I think she will be okay in the bedroom @Snowie

I know you have had many times that you have felt like you are failing your kids Hon but your D is an example of what your love and care has achieved - don't ever doubt that sweetheart

Hard to not feel like I have failed them at different times in this mental health battle @Zoe7

H has gone away for the weekend so trying to keep myself together in many different ways.

Glad that Clover has her carry bag, sounds like she likes Tobes bed too!

We all feel like we have failed in certain areas along our journeys @Snowie - it is not in any way specific to our mental health either. Your kids love you Hon and that is all that matters

Thanks @Zoe7

Just struggling a bit without H here. But he hasn't been away for ages so went on a boys weekend away. I just hope he enjoys himself.

Have you organised tea for yourself?

You got this @Snowie ...and we are here with you

Yes - tuna salad ...too tired to cook but needed something healthy as well that didn't take long to prepare.

Sounds yummy @Zoe7

Nice and easy too. I have some meals frozen that we cooked awhile ago so we are just heating them up for dinner.

Feed Izzy but she is more interested in S's dinner!

JUst trying to stay connected here for now hon, it is helping.
