Far and Away

Need to tidy up a bit now before I get stuck into the next jobs @Faith-and-Hope - need a sleep first if I can ...so tired. How are you feeling this afternoon Hon?

Tired too @Zoe7 .... and just begging around today. I have booked a massage appointment this afternoon though ..... long overdue to work the knots back out of my neck and shoulders ....,

That will be really good for you @Faith-and-Hope - relieve a little of that stress. It might help you get a little more sleep tonight too. How is the news sitting with you today?

I'm probably annoyed more than anything @Zoe7.

Learning more about how WH appears to be functioning has allowed me a greater distancing from it .... a pragmatic (radical ?) acceptance that that is what we are dealing with, and to get my expectations and emotions well out of harm's way ..... to deal pragmatically, perhaps somewhat clinically, with the behaviours that will keep presenting, now that a pattern is clearly defining itself - a pattern that fits a model.

Thats well and good for me, but until my kids are on that same page - and I have to wait for their counsellors and support people to work that out with them - news like yesterday's is a bombshell for them.

I wish I could place a shield over us so stuff like that just bounces straight back to where it came from, but maybe that is going to happen too ..... when the results of all this B:pile_of_poo: find their way home.

You might find that that does happen with your kids (some of them anyway) @Faith-and-Hope as this all progresses. Knowing that they are also part of you gives me that belief. I also think you functioning/reacting clinically is a good way for you to get through this too. Of course your emotionsal side will be tested but it is by his actions that you are able to now not care or think about him in any other way but as the kids father ...they will find their own way through all this - as they need to - but secure also in the fact you are there for them. Once they realise just what kind of man he actually is then there it may be a freeing from the constraints he has placed upon them also. Your baby dragons will find their wings and in doing so most likely find their own strength also.

I need to rest Hon. Enjoy your massage this afternoon. I will check in again with you tonight @Faith-and-Hope Hugs and hugs and hugs 😘🌹💕

Couldn't sleep @Faith-and-Hope so went out and did the grocery shopping instead. I was going to do it tomorrow but it is out of the way now so I can have the next 2 days at home. Still have to put some of it away and do some housework but no rush. I can now spend tomorrow doing marking and planning which will leave Monday to relax.

How was your massage?

The massage was good @Zoe7.

D2 and I visited the other kids, then went walkabout in the city for a while - found an old British pub for some shared dinner 😏

Think we will try to get an earlyish night, but as you know, it's not until you try that you know whether your brain will settle to it or not.

Hi @Bimby2 👋💕
