Hey @Sunnyside226 ,
I hope you don't mind me making this thread for you.
I just wanted you to know that the whole forums community is here to support you through this challenging time.
Please look after yourself. I recognise it's hard to look after three small children on your own.

Hey @Sunnyside226 ,
Let me answer you as well as I can @Sunnyside226
1) Check-In emails:
Peer Workers write the check-in emails depending on what the need is. Moderators may sort of use a template we have. It really depends on the situation. We send them so that we know members are safe. If we don't send them, then we are not doing our job properly!
2) Talking about the forums:
Workers may talk about the forums, but they can't share confidential information. I never share anything from the forums with family or friends. They don't even know what I'm doing.
Also, remember, forums are public-facing which means anyone can read them.
3) Am I hurt?
No. You can laugh. I laugh about it now, but the kid annoyed me. "Please don't stand on my heels!!!"

Yeah, with the check-ins, unless we can guarantee your safety from your post, we need to email you a check-in. If we don't hear that you are safe, we have to call 000 @Sunnyside226 These are laws we are bound by as part of duty of care.
If we don't, we are breaking the law.

I need a break from life (tw)

Wanting a break from life is a feeling many of us can relate to. @Sunnyside226
People find this break in all sorts of ways - some helpful and some unhelpful.
Maybe chatting to people is a way for you to have this break? Or, being at work, being with the kids, going for a swim. These are all ways to get a break.
What do you think your parents would want for your life?
Grief means yes, we do miss them. It's important to talk about it.
