Morning @outlander

I really hope you have a better day today. I can hear how hard it is for you right now. I wish I could take some of your pain away.

Im so sorry that your pop is making things even harder for you. Especially as his dementia gets more difficult.

Re: not coping

No doubt you are tired hon @outlander Work plus your psych would take a lot out of you. I find I come out of my psych appointments mentally exhausted sometimes.

How did you get on with your psych?

Re: not coping

My psych gives me homework too @outlander!! Sometimes I feel like I am back at school.

Might be nice to have a pop free night, even though most of it will probably be spent sleeping. Least you don' have to take him to work tomorrow.

Re: not coping

it will be nice to have a pop free night and day @Snowie he will be with me on sunday though.

i am going to have to be careful how much hes with me after the incident the other night. the less hes with me there the better but i still need to try and work.
