All good sounds better @Former-Member. You are showing maturity by using these forums not trying to muddle through so alone.

Re: Anyone feel like chatting? Coffee/Tea ☕💕
LOL @BlueBells if only! No seriously it will be ok. I just have to have some discipline and be an adult. She is in her late 70s now and I decided a few years ago not to challenge her any more but just try to accept her and simply shut up instead of blurting my thoughts at times. But I lived a lot further away from her then! This will be her 2nd visit this year and the first time we've been alone for days since 2014. That time I went to her in Bris from Darwin and was so profoundly relieved when I got home again.

I sent a message, got the ais wrong, I put ias, so you wouldn't probably notice 🙂
I agree with eth, yes, you are showing maturity 😉 Also, I understand what you mean, I struggled all though school and into my 20's feeling more mature than my peers, not easy at all 😞
In five years time you'll wonder where the time went, seems to speed up once late teens/early 20's kick in 😉
Pleased you are on this site 🙂

I learnt to "suffer" my mum, and it was very hard, I denied myself a lot, but when she passed, I realised I felt no guilt in the way I had behaved, and I did wonder if I hadn't "held my peace" at times, if maybe I would have felt guilt.
I hope it goes well for you. The garden might need a bit extra care, too......what do you think? 😄

@BlueBells That's how (and why) I feel too, exactly, about Mum.
The garden is wonderful. About 30 different fruits and vegies. Zuchini and thyme and tat soy and beans and passionfruit and eggplant and some other herbs all producing at the moment as well as a huge avocado tree we are harvesting heaps from. Much more planted but not producing yet. And tons of basil.

Gardens can be so relaxing, I hope that helps you cope, getting out there when you need to. Just what the doctor ordered 😉
Hugs 🙂
