Re: not coping

Any change can be terrifying @outlander

Your battler's spirit is a real inspiration.

No one knows what will happen in the future, yet you have shown what it is to embrace the future and to just keep going.

I'm so proud of you.

Please know we are here for you. I don't want you to think you have to do this alone. I recognise there's so much up in the air for you at the moment.

I hope you hear from NDIS soon.

Re: not coping

@outlander officially 2 months but he had a few months where he was visiting the supported living to get used to it.

Re: not coping

Thank you @tyme ❤️


How do you feel about him being there? @Bunniekins
I work in a few Sil houses in my local area, it always takes time for newbies to adjust but once it becomes more like home they’re ok.
Hopefully his fellow housemates are a good match too and they have some similar interests too

Re: not coping

@outlander i know he has to be there. i wont be around forever and he needs to be in a safe place and i cannot expect his siblings to be looking after him full time they need their own lives. i miss him though and when he says can he come home it breaks my heart to be honest. the sil is wonderful the workers are all lovely and he other client is great.

Re: not coping

Oh wow @outlander that is BIG news! With big news I imagine there's been much anticipation for big change, and big emotions to boot.

I hope that this transitional period goes as smoothly as possible, and that the NDIS comes through so you truly can just focus inward for a time. You deserve that chance hun 🤞💜
