Re: Taking the plunge
Haha thanks for thinking that's maybe not so messed up @Maggie 😊🙂
I like that you and I have our helpful helping people on Fridays (though mines ever second week). I really like that your counsellor is so helpful and each week. And that there's sometimes chocolate involved 😊 Writing and sharing is so powerful and being able to reflect and see things differently sometimes is great. I see progress often Maggie and am glad you can see it too.
Big's awake and on a mission. I should probably get moving. I'll start by tackling the giant amount of washing I think.
Hope there's good in your day ❤

Hi @CheerBear @Maggie @outlander @Former-Member
@CheerBear I just want to say that what you are going through atm is as valid here as anyone's challenges. This is not the place for people to invalidate each other's experiences. I feel strongly that if people are going to judge and criticise they are best off simply not joining the thread. It's important that you feel able to express no matter what's going on. Take care xx

Re: Taking the plunge
Thanks for your support @eth ❤
There's huge amount of stigma around what I'm engaging in. I see some of that as coming from a place of hurt and have empathy for that, and I see a lot of it as coming from social factors and harmful gender-based double standards (stuff I passionately want to and do fight) but it still hurts me to feel it. Hurt sucks and I don't want to cause or feel it.
Dangerous ground now I worry eth. I have other people I can talk with about this (who are paid to get it and be supportive even if they think that what I am doing is wrong 😉😆).
Hope today's looking OK for you.

Re: Taking the plunge
Does that make a kid free day today @CheerBear ? Woo hoo.
Yesterday was productive in lots of ways. Trying to work through whatever is coming up. I steamed my bathroom (again) and kitchen (again. Then found colour in paint.
How was you yesterday? 💚💚

Re: Taking the plunge
Just Big and I home today @Maggie. She wants to go shopping for some stuff we can't really get easily with the littler two around so it will be nice to head out with only her. Kid-free from tomorrow 🎉
Good to hear yesterday was productive and even better to hear there was some colour in paint. What were you working on?
Yesterday was productive here too. Groceries, house work, lunchbox labeling, uniforms etc. I had unexpected company last night when a friend called around for a couple of hours after footy training.
How's today looking for you?
