alone where family should have been finds siblings known but never seen

this will be my last sunset from my room this summer and this is my last night where my lion demands my attention and through one look says you packed that bag again how long dont think i dont know.

i just want to say in one spot not over many threads im not afraid because of you all.

i am only able to take this journey because of you all and you need to know you really are valuable part of peoples lives even though not in person you are somehow more real than those with faces.

hell you even have faces in an aura presence kinda way i notice if you guys havent noticed every individual has various struggles every day and somehow know where the support is needed more from a post and that person is shown care, support comfort and given space to safely share what ever they do or dont want to while sharing laughs, positive picture things and genuine care for each other.

i could go on

iwont

need try sleep last night in my bed this summer too and its ok because you my forum family have been taking my rants and fears and insecurity,raw unfiltered over sharing and knowledge of my mistake with patience understandinfg and without them things id still be falling because no one else was reaching to slow me down and find a path back out.

on upside im no comms for at least 10days so i want to post this here for you guys so all know you are appreciated, you know who you are and @moderators all of you, peer guides and supports really for me ive felt such a sense of belonging i thought was lost by losing contact with family.

not one of you asked why i need to do this you know, think about where else so many people dont want to know such things as a whole, for someone thats struggled with addiction since 15 i noticed it and its a first you are truly non judgemental and have made a positive impact for me so please know your worth.

i also thought if this is here you and i know where to go see the pookinator if you want see him before i get to again.

im only going tag a few so it doesnt look like i missed a few out im going leave a shitload out and i think they will tag others and so on and if not maybe they stumble acyoss it, sorry for typos and grammar just smashing this out and lying down few hours with me mate before car gets here 7.50. deep exhale

@tyme @TAB @Glisten @ENKELI @Chasingsunsets @MissGremlin @heartathome @Mustang67 @rav3n @Appleblossom @AuntGlow @Shaz51 please let those not here know i meant nothing by leaving them out and all the support team are part of the family i speak of as they see more than others hehehee night guys will try get on before handing phone over

Re: alone where family should have been finds siblings known but never

@AlwaysMyself @ENKELI @heartathome Hello ladies

@Bunniekins

I am so sorry youhave endured all that. Uts been a load.

@REDLINEZ750

I am very sorry you experienced CSA. I visited a lawyer about it tiday for me. For me it wasn;t as bad as for my youngersiblings, but probably dad had the worst issue with clerical sex abuse. I am not impressed with Smelly Pell or how the church have dealt with it. The laity can be defensive and victim blamey. My family situation was complex and mixed. Yet I was grateful to the nuns, but also told off for stcking up for them, cos others had it harder. I only got the strap once.There are many aspects Catholiism I still love.

You room with bay window sounds wonderful... love the family of kookaburras in the tree.

I am slowly catching uo on notifications.

The writing is too small to read @REDLINEZ750 but the graphics are very emotional and show a deep love to me! Thanks for sharing! 💚

My morning passage is Collosians 3:16..

Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly

Perfect to follow Matthew 18:20

For where two or gather in my name there I am with them.

Even in anonymity I believe

Morning @REDLINEZ750 how is your day going?
sorry I haven’t been around much, love seeing your posts around the forum esp the highlights page too, I’m desperate to get back there 🤩, lots to read and reply to 😊.

I thought of you the other week, it’s a car story ☺️, I know you and TAB would like it 😆. So my blinker stick was a bit stiff over a month or so, didn’t think much of it, then one time indicating clunk- lost my indicator function 🤭. It still kind of worked just really loose and kept falling into high beam lol. Didn’t really think it was much for an issue as it was during the day that I was driving. I was working on trying to get it fixed then forgot I had a couple of nights coming up 😜, then inadvertently high-beamed quite a few cars 🤭🫣 accidently whilst driving lol. Everyone took it quite well, wasn’t high beamed back once Lol. It’s fixed now thank goodness 😂😂

🚗🚗, a story to add to my engine coils failing 😂🤭

Re: alone where family should have been finds siblings known but never

Heat @Chasingsunsets great to hear from you, I'm on my phone mostly now and it's hard to tag people that aren't in the pop up box sometimes or you would be tagged into everything I post, same as i can't minimize pics to fit on your highlights page I often think of you and Indi 😀

Re: alone where family should have been finds siblings known but never

Yesss @REDLINEZ750 challanging to tag when on your phone, that’s all I have used to get on the forum but definitely challenging. I find if I screen shot pics they work to be posted 😎.

hows your day going?

Re: alone where family should have been finds siblings known but never

Days well as I hope is yours @Chasingsunsets , I tried the screenshots thing too sometimes it works not all the time though, on my laptop I have the option to make anything downsize to 3000kb there's just no wifi in my room here (who. Needs it with a huge oak and family kookaburras outside their bay window) and hot spotting just makes me hot under collar 🫩

Re: alone where family should have been finds siblings known but never

Interesting @REDLINEZ750, don’t even know if I’d know how to reduce the sizes on a laptop so you are doing better than me! It’s ok I know it must be frustrating, don’t worry though it’s always good to connect even if you can’t post pics 😊

You paint a great pic of the oak tree and the kookaburra family!!

day is going ok thanks having a rather good day feeling wise which has been good since I haven’t had many of them lately. Just waiting for my washing to finish to hang it all out 😎
