Re: Taking the plunge
I really liked that @Maggie. It's been a day with a head like the person on the left. Lots of tricky parenting stuff all jumbled and twisted up. I met with a potential new psych for Middle and we spoke about history and what the impact on the kidsbhas been/is. It felt full of guilt, where I went wrong, how I should have done more... sinky sad 🙁 Conversations like that can also feel like I 'should know better' than to "should" myself over this stuff. Double blow of feeling something then feeling more feelings for feeling that way 😑 Surely I have like a feelings stop button somewhere. It could be helpful right now.
I don't know what to do about Middle and the psych. I'm not sure if it's my own big fear coming from past experiences that is worrying me or whether it's because I don't think they really need it right now and I worry about pushing something on them that might not be helpful. But what if it helps Middle to unmuddle a bit and it turns out to be like the picture above for them. It's one thing for me to take that chance myself, but for me to take that chance with my kid... I need a crystal ball.
I feel a bit scrambled. Silly daylight savings isn't helping me today either. I had some paints out to play with but I didn't feel up to it. Maybe later tonight I will try again.
I hope it's okay to have vented this here. I don't need a reply, just needed to reach out somewhere I think.
I hope today has been okay enough for you. Gut feeling tells me maybe it's not though ❤

@Gazza75 Hey Gazza75 I am going well thanks 🙂 just super pea tired today. The house is not air conditioned and faces west so is a hot house during the spring and summer months .... what can you do just suck it up :p. Went for a early morning walk with beautiful neighbour and came across this group of young men and guess what they were not drunk or on drugs either!!! was a nice surprise.

Re: Taking the plunge
@CheerBear I’ve been thinking about you and middle. How hard that would be, being a mum, wanting the best for her kid. It’s a tough decision to need to make. ( tried not using the ) have to make, Sounds a but softer to me.
I don’t think you went wrong @CheerBear your ex did, you needed to get out. I personally thing it would have been wrong to stay. Guilt is a yukkey feeling, and a sad one. Sinky feels 😕😕
Oh for the crystal ball @CheerBear . I think your gut ( ugly phrase ) tells you. That inside ,deep down, I know my kid better than anyone, and I know I would only ever do what’s best for them, feeling. Can that be wrong.?
I’ve tried stuff today and same, no go with anything.
I’m grumpy. I rarely get grumpy. But today I’m a grump.
Its daylight saving, a horrible start leaving confusion everywhere in me. I lose it easily, and it’s one thing I do well....lose it that is. Plus I have an ear infection and can’t afford to go to the dr for a few weeks. So a headache as well. I’m also venting and hope it’s ok. A listening understanding ear......Thankyou. I know you hear deep down.💕💕💕
