Thanks for updating @Teej, and I am so sorry it’s been so hard ..... but hopeful it has been like a pulled tooth that will enable you to keep moving forward .....
You have said that you have another hard week coming up .... and I am presuming you are being supported through it, if not in hospital, then at least with ready access to other support.
I have had very little to do with S2’s counsellors, for which I am very grateful.at the moment .... and family therapy has stalled for now too ..... think that’s a combo of trips east, and S2 being asked to organise them ...... the planned inclusion of D3 is not going to be very palatable for him either, I suspect. Things in his arena appear somewhat settled, but the more of our kidults that appear in f.c. the more disrupted that arena will become, methinks ..... and methinks he knows that. Not only more disrupted, but far more difficult to control ..... and I don’t think wh is the only one trying to control outcomes here.
Of course I have wanted to expose our situation, which has appeared to some as me trying to control the outcomes. My perspective, of course, is that the exposure will do all the talking, and bring about its own outcomes, regardless of whatever else is said or done.
If I hadn’t come through so many years of hit-and-miss with that, and thinking I would be heard then finding a roadblock in place, I think I would be far more wrecked at the moment than I am. It’s given me something of a shield, not 100% effective, but a helluva lot better than nothing.
At the moment I am feeling supported in the cc arena, but if that doesn’t hold up for any reason ..... I just can’t think about it. Crossing bridges as I come to them as much as I can.
