Something’s not right

Re: Learning about Relationship Boundaries

Re: Learning about Relationship Boundaries

I get so tired of being strong and being positive and thinking of a new approach. I feel pull out positivity like a rabbit from a hat but that it can become false. I am now hypersentsitive and ambivalent about whether I should continue to post or withdraw.

I have had low self-talk and concentration poor.

My son has been the most loyal of all my family to me ..it worries me because he is vulnerable too.

Nobody else cares and I put a lot of effort into family events for decades.

I started swearing and calliing myself piece of dirt and other things like I am becoming a teenager.d .. but i dont want to have to be teenage boy all the time ..

I would like to have been useful

I have managed to get some help and am grateful, for what has worked.

@Former-Member It sounds like it was a bad situation if you needed to get your sister too at that age. I think I read on another discussion thread that you don't have contact with your mum anymore. I think it's sometimes necessary and respect that.

@Former-MemberIts nice that they care enough about the social fabric of the classroom to put on a smile for you... but do you keep it deadpan like Hannah and never smile til Easter like some teachers??

@Mazarita I have enjoyed your company ... and going to go to bed soon too.

Goodnight @PeppiPatty ... you always had nice messages .. I am the one who can be blunt at times.

Re: Learning about Relationship Boundaries

Lol no I can't do that whole strict till Easter thing, every child is different and need different 'rules' as well sometimes... Smiles are needed to really get to know your kids

Re: Learning about Relationship Boundaries

True confession @Mazarita... I was so scattered about my sleeping I could never have regularly taken night meds ... it was better to do it in the morning.... I told my GP in 2000 that I wanted the pill not for contraception but so that I knew which day it was when I took morning med ... she was surprised and Lo and Behold the anti-dep drug companies starting labelling the days too.
