Far and Away

An 8 year storm @Faith-and-Hope - oh darn

That is bleak - wow -

Yes - I understand that WH says things to make him look like the good parent and you look like you are part of the terrible load he is carrying -

Yes - you need to care for your kids and him and take all of this and keep out of it as if you were absent - but you are most certainly not - I have been here for nearly 18 months and I wonder how you do it -

It must be love -

I so admire you for what you do -

I so hope that happens soon @Faith-and-Hope

@Faith-and-Hope I know our situations are diiferent - as are everyone's here - but just like @Owlunar I so admire who you are and what you are doing for your family - against enormous obstacles. That is one of our biggest differences - you are 'keeping it together' for your family but I only have myself! It does get really hard when you are alone!

It is hard sometimes to get across when writing what one means - what I was trying to say is that I understand that sometimes we all need a 'break' from each other - a little distance even for a while - whether that be for our own personal needs or when someone else is becoming too over-reliant on someone - I just didn't want you to feel this was the case or there was any pressure on you - because that is the exact opposite to what I would want. I still don't think I am explaining myself well here - as I said - not in a good headspace to be thinking!!!

ps - if you left and returned under a new name and avatar I would DEFINITELY know it was you

Hahaha - I like that alot @Faith-and-Hope 'Cat and Toby' - you are the blissed out, just need the occasional cuddle and know she is loved Cat (who is also the oldest lol) and I am Toby - the little mop who won't leave mummy's side and is very reliant on that relationship to get through each day.

Btw - I gave Toby a bath yesterday and I now don't have to mop the floor either!!!! (but Toby might need another bath lol)

Ok - on a more positive note (because I have been in such a negative mindset) I managed to sit outside yesterday for about 20 minutes. The sun is out today and the temperature is about the same - cold but the sun is warm - so I may be able to do that again a bit later on (if I am not asleep).
