Sunday Coffee and Chat -- 21st September 2025

@avant-garde it is a heavy weight and yes it hurts to know that we're not the only ones running. It's not something anyone should have to do.

I hear you, I'm so careful of what I share. Like when I was asked about if I had any animals on here and I panicked cos its not something I'm comfortable sharing for fear of being identified. Trying to find that balance is challenging, that wanting to share the load and get support but the fear of saying too much and being found. It's a juggling act.

I'm yet to find the audiobook for Harry potter, it's only come up with e-books so far. The hunt continues 🤣

@RebelliousAngel

I searched by author

Then went into filters

Filtered by format and language

The upside of having been running for so long is that a lot in my life has changed, I didn't have my cat when I escaped, they have no idea I have an animal so I can share photos of her on here. I have no one connected to my past in my life now.

It gets better.

@avant-garde i found the audiobook for the philosophers stone but it's out until mid October so I've placed it on hold for when it's available. Might have to listen to Matilda in the meantime 🙂.

I'm glad you don't have anyone connected to your past in your life now, I wish I could say the same. I've made every effort to cut contact with people and moved so many times to get away but somehow I've been found. I keep trying and I keep hoping that one day I can escape completely, to not have to live in constant fear.

@RebelliousAngel

It's not fair is it?

Do you like jigsaw puzzles?

@avant-garde no it's not fair at all.

I do love jigsaw puzzles although it's been a while since I've done one.

@RebelliousAngel

Have you heard of 3D jigsaw puzzles?

@avant-garde yes I have heard of them, I love the idea of them but don't have any of them myself. Do you have them?

@RebelliousAngel

I have multiple, both functional and decorative ones

@avant-garde that's fantastic 🙂. I remember doing a Simpsons puzzle ball many years ago, that was a bit of fun. No idea where it ever went though 🤣

@avant-garde are you the user that had ones that were like 3d vases and stuff?

I forget who posted those photos, but they were amazing!
