Night Shift

Night Shift

Since I am awake at 4am I thought I'd start this thread for those of us who have trouble sleeping and might find it helpful to have a place to go to chat. Whatever gets you through the night is alright.

To get the ball rolling, I'll just say that I enjoyed being part of the Topic Tuesday discussion tonight. I wish it was possible for these events to be weekly rather than monthly. Either way, thanks SANE and all the people I've met on here over recent months.

Edited June 2016 and February 2017: Night Shift is now open 24 hours a day. To join in, just click through to the last page of the thread at the top right of this post to get to the latest message.

Edited April 2017 and June 2017: For the sake of better communications between members here, I am adding that this thread is meant to be a caring, kind and gentle place of sharing. Humour is welcome, as long as its not unkindly directed towards other members. Hope your time in this chat thread is rewarding.

Hi @Former-Member ..... 😊💕

Didnt really answer your question earlier ....

WH is "behaving himself" .... but is needing us to all support his regimen .... primarily me .... which is driving me nuts on top of all the wedding prep and walking D3 home to graduation ....

Had to come back from the shops today to cook The Lunch in the middle of the day .... then go back and pick up the threads of what I was trying to get done re wedding stuff ... just got landed with The Washing .... everything needs to be kept within The Regimen ... and there's a sense of entitlement about it .... it's part of the mi .... he said it the other week when he was demanding that I wake S2 up to load his cases in the car so he didn't miss 5mins of The Gym Workout .... even though we were supposed to have left for the airport already - "if he cares for his father at all ... !!"

The e.d. demands everyone in the household serve it .... and we have seen what happens when we refuse to ....

So yes .... "behaving himself" because we are all "behaving ourselves" by observing / serving The Regimen .... :face_with_rolling_eyes:😣😔

Still .... one blessing is that The Regimen takes him out of the house twice a day .... and the e.d. has re-attached his maternal umbilical cord along with the personality change ... so he's off to his mum's to watch the AFL game .... they can baby-sit each other there for a while ....

We might have adjusted to it, but there's no getting used to this .... it's still as weird as it was when it first started to come on .... can only hope he will be back one day ....

Anyway .... on with our Saturday night .... I've got lots of hand-work to do .... watching Jamie Oliver make amazing things on TV .... 😊

How are you feeling after your rest today ? Better, I hope ....❤️🌹
