Re: Taking the plunge
On the contrary @Former-Member ..... the mh team are there for S2, and where I thought that meant they were there for us too, for one member at least, I couldn’t have been more wrong. He invalidated me, and has chosen what form of truth he is willing to believe, which left me worse than unsupported. I have been devastated by that.
When the actual truth emerges, which it eventually has to, more of this team may step up in my corner, but all of that is way too messy to be able to comprehend at the moment, and I just don’t have any more strength to try to engage with it. Effectively that therapist has shut me down ..... with every good intention it would seem ..... but that’s not enough. I hope one day he realises what he did, but it really doesn’t matter now. This decision has made his behaviour irrelevant to me.

Re: Taking the plunge
That’s awful to hear, that mh team aren’t a support for you. I sincerely hope they are helping S2. I hope you have someone in real life that listens and is there for you. Big hugs to you 🌸🌷❤️

Re: Taking the plunge
I have friends and family @Former-Member .... but no medical person who I can seek support from for these issues, as they are not formally diagnosed re hubby ,.... and I still don’t have any way of getting that diagnosis to happen.
We will be dealing with a new mh team around our son over east, so I can maybe try again there.

Re: Taking the plunge
I am sorry to hear things aren’t good between you and D’s father either @Former-Member ....
I have a course of behaviour I take with people who are hard to get along with, and that is to remain very polite and courteous with them. It’s not a “real”relationship, but it is a superficiality that keeps things calm and gets things done ..... not everybody can be your best friend. Ian finding myself pulling back onto this platform with mr. f&h already, even though it has only been 24 hours, because if there is no real connectivity, and there hasn’t been around the mi issues when he has taken the bit in his teeth and is just living life the way he wants, then there is no real relationship. It’s not a two-way street, and what I have just done it’s given up trying to reinstate one. We had it before. We don’t have it now.
Effectively we are housemates, so on that basis I will be a polite and courteous one. I hope in telling you this, it might work for you to do the same.
💜🌷

It is difficult when they grow up and we have to let go
Part of life, but not so easy

Re: Taking the plunge
I've been in the community garden this morning. I love to wander around there. Anyway, I came across this pic there and just had to bring it here for us all. I hope it means as much to you all as it does to me. @Former-Member@Faith-and-Hope@Former-Member@utopia@Former-Member@Bunniekins and anyone else reading.
