APPROACHING SURE?
I had a drive into the country yesterday to attend a christmas lunch with people that I did not really know. I am needing to process what happened. If anyone would like to respond.

I am too busy (and vulnerable) for unecessary clashes.Thanks @Owlunar
Still havent gone to the police, nor decided as feet are just touching the ground as I run at a frantic pace with all our (son & I) curent commitments.
I tend to focus on the productive forward moving things .. and the tidy up drags behind.
I am curious as there seems to be a dynamic at play in my life .. mysterious.. so i want to see how things unfold a little .. before rushing into the fray.
Thanks for wise words .. still to read sis corner report.
Maybe after organised oven replacement & piano tuning.

I do not choose conflict if other options are available.
@Owlunar I see you as having earned the rest of peaceful old age .. maybe like an respected sage, whom we can approach in time of need. Keeping up to date from the polite distance of the internet gives you ample time to weigh experience & current issues.
@Former-Member Funny ha ha .. not really cheeky tho.
I had no clue how things would turn out. Even early January I was still calling the CATT team .. but putting foot forward for next step and following through on previously made plans.
Thanks for walking with me on this. my sion was a bit scared cos though he knew I may have struggling emotionally, I dont think he realised how much.

😘 @Appleblossom. I hope things keep going forward with positive steps building on the last. Sorry I'm probably not going to make sense as I'm really tired but wanted to say your making your new path and it's bringing you some joy and new found success. Perhaps old plans are changed altered to keep you moving in a positive way forward. You don't always need to be the one who makes the stand if it isn't helpful for you. If it makes you stronger to fight for your happiness/personal success and then enables you to take a stand in a much better place that seems positive too, win- win. I hope I'm not off the mark. I may be. I really shouldn't be posting as my brain is frazzled. Really just wanted to add my support. Sending hugs 💜🤗

Hi @AppleblossomAppleblossom How are you today. Only just caught up on all your likes, thank you )only get them once a day in a daily digest email listing, because we its too overwhelming for me if they come here there and everywhere popups all day). Thanks for your help and spot on insight re my son, its so hard not to worry about them. How was your sons Matine? Is this the best thread to catch you. Anyway, eyes are packing in soon, just wanted to say hi. Oh, still trying to work out what your new profile pic is (on my tinyvphone screen), certainly different. Maybe next time I'm at the library. Bug hugz sista xox

I needed that bear hug sista
Son show was fabulous.
The day was a little marred by crabby 80 year old know it all and high flyer, but I am learning to treat her like an annoying mosquito. She has been the best option in my local area for my son. Gotta be practical even she directly insults him and I quietly in my ear and tries to play mind games. At least I called her out on being an ego-maniac last night. She knows she is. So I cant be called two-faced.
Flowers to cheer me up too.

I've been on a rollercoaster this week, got your post on STM thread (mine, there's two now), catch up soon. Chin up xox

Lovely to hear from you and read those life lessons. @Former-Member
I am a bit triggered atm so need to be careful. Not being helpful and out & about on forums, as I need to be contracted and small. I had a reasonable day at the Lions doing my new vollie role at th zoo.
I came online late tonight as I was in a lot of turmoil because of my brother & sister.
Then first thing I read 10 ins ago was that a younger girl cousin had died 10 mins ago. Her health had been vulnerable and she had the hardest life 6 kids. RIP cuz
I told bro that I would phone hospital if they were going to send him home, as I did not think he was well enough. Today he said they were going to send him to hospice rather than home, which I think is a wise move.
lol ... Funny that about sleeping and there needing to be threads about it. Today I learned that adult male lions sleep around 20 hours per day ...
