Re: not coping

Thank you Li'l One ... for all the beautiful flowers you have been delivering all around the forums. You are such a thoughtful young lady @outlander 💕🤗

So here are some for you .... some of your Nan's favourites I believe. Hope you also like pink roses.

Re: not coping

Thanks @Snowie
My extras insurance will cover my glasses if i need to upgrade. I have owned the same frames for 12 years! But the lenses get changed/adjusted every 2 or 3 years.

I dont really need help, its already half done just have to wait for it to fully cook.

Yep i cant really sleep that much. I kind just drift in and out. I keep having more nightmares lately too.

Re: not coping

Thats good that your extras will cover your glasses if you need them. S has to go to the optomertrist next week. He alreeady wears glasses but broke one of his pairs, so back to get another pair.

Sorry to hear you are having nightmares @outlander They really are a pain. You want to sleep because you are tired but don't want to sleep because of the nightmares. Really is hard.

Re: not coping

Oops typical kids to break things hey @Snowie
I wont need new frames unless i want them thankfully but ive grown on these ones.

Yes exactly. So many factors affecting sleep. I know you know what its like

Re: not coping

Thats why he normally has 2 pairs of glasses. An extra pair in case he breaks or loses them!!

He needs to wear them all the time at school too so needs that extra pair. 😒

There are so many factors affecting sleep hon. It is so much easier when you have someone that understands it without going into too much detail @outlander Even though I wish that you didn't have to go through it.

I try and do the same routine before I go to sleep everynight. I figure that it might help. Some nights it helps, other nights it doesn't do anything. Really a hit and miss.

Better go organise tea, will be back on later hon if you are still around.

Re: not coping

@Snowie @Emelia8 @Sans911 im dreading what pops going to say to my aunt 😔 he wants to drive down there whicj is 15 minutes with him driving (only max 10 ks away from home) he has been abit weird with me today so i dont know what he might say

Re: not coping

That sounds difficult hun @outlander

Does he normally talk to your aunt?

Why are you worried about it?

In response to: Re: not coping

outlanderSenior Contributor

Re: not coping

He sometimes does @Snowie she usually comes up for a tea or something once a week.
Im worried because when he starts he cant help himself he just goes and goes and usually whatever it is he blames it on me. Sadly sometimes they dont see his dementia that much or well chooses not to so whatever he says shapes their perspective of me and its already not that good.
