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.

Re: Night Shift

Hi @PeppiPatty I'm so sorry that happened to your son and that your ex husband abused so much trust. I'm sending hugs your way. You and your son can get through this. I'm glad your son was brave enough to tell you and that he will b getting some help. Do you think an appointment with your wonderful counsellor would help you as well?

Hey @PeppiPatty

So glad your son did the groceries ... they need to find ways to contribute .. gives them cred and a back bone .. and its usually best if they dream up a way to do it themselves ... rather than it be a nag.

This might be the beginning of positive direction for him after the all the trauma he has endured.

Fingers crossed for you both.

Re: Night Shift

Yes they do @Shaz51

It's a real reality check when you see sons and daughters look at us for guidance.

I feel very overwhelmed in that my fears are all wiped away when I see my youngest son working out his own way.

Hw wants to stay the night here once a week for a long time and he is working out his own way with me in it.

For the past 6 years, it's been horrible because my Mother and Father tried very hard to take my son away from me or more like..........they were forgetful on my influence on him and went ahead without thinking about me.

I think of you and @Former-Member and @Mazarita and esp. @Appleblossom @Jacques @hiddenite and more and more during the day and think...would they think this is the right way?

Would they do this?

What would they think if I did .......?

You dont have to bring up my name, no one does I am very secure in that you are all thinking lovingly of me. It gets me through the day.
