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

@REDLINEZ750 Thank you very much for remembering and respecting my life challenges. It makes me feel seen and matters a heap. Its not a competition, but I am often dismissed and you have never done that. So, I am happy when I see your namw come up.

I really felt for you in your writing. Your soul or spirit is valuable, just as it is. Yes. the working hard, year in year out, but work is only one aspect of life, and lets be honest paid employment is not that easy to get these days, if we are not on a convenient career track. Older folks are often passed over etc etc etc ... but also young people are finding it tough these days. People can be dreadfully judgie budgie and snooty tooty.

Find ways to honour yourself. Whether it is embracing the inner child or the wild man.

I have been pretty wits addled. So much going on. I need to keep my fear and doubt at bay, and keep taking those next steps.

Cooee to you all ...

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

@Appleblossom @REDLINEZ750 @heartathome @Chasingsunsets @Bellaley and all my mental health nurse said something interesting to me yesterday. i mentioned my father after talking to her about psychopaths saying that i think he was one and she agreed saying it would explain alot about my mental health issues. we are going to discuss him next week. i remember him once calling me over as a young girl. my parents were sitting at the bbq table with friends and he was smoking one of his cigars he told me to take a puff and when i did he burst out laughing as i coughed and spluttered but what i remember most was the reaction of the friends and my mum they all just sat their stunned while he smiled and laughed. i hated that man.

I'm sorry you had to grow up with a psycopath as your father @Bunniekins I can imagine how humilitating that experience would have been! Living with him everyday must have been hell.

My dad was nothing like a psycopath but I remember him making a comment about my breasts, that he thought was funny, in front of my friends, when I was about 13. I've never forgotten that comment! Hating them ever since.
