Night Shift

MazaritaSenior Contributor23 Sept 2015, 4:13 am AEST

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

good idea @Faith-and-Hope. Do you mind if I copy candles on cake? My husband's Birthday is next week....

49 candles...

Hello @Kurra

I read your message and thanks for writing it. You write;

So I've put those feelings aside and I'm grateful that I found a way to connect with her.

I get that this is your daughter? Yes, my oldest son cut contact with me last year. It was terrible.

t's just good that we both have this. I write a card to him occasionally as about 5 weeks ago, he actually gave me his address where he lives on the other side of Australia.

Re: Night Shift

I feel for you @PeppiPatty
It has certainly been an incredibly difficult time. There's not a day goes by when I don't think about my daughter. It troubles me greatly that she appears to be so very angry and bitter. She has never shown this type of behaviour previously. It seems as if her desire to hurt is calculated and deliberate.

Her husband sent me their address a few days ago so next pay I hope I can afford a card and the postage.

I've got a few unavoidable but big expenses coming up in the next few days and I'm well and truly scraping the bottom of the barrel. I'm hoping some sort of miracle hapoens.

Re: Night Shift

Hey @Faith-and-Hope
I really like your idea. Do you know where I can buy these multi coloured long candles?

Re: Night Shift

Sleep is winning the battle. I would ĺove to stay and chat but methinks sleep will take over shortly.
Sleep tight and wake up weĺl rested.

Re: Night Shift

@Kurra

I believe I used to buy them from Coles supermarkets (haven't for a while now) but somewhere like Matchbox might stock them too. I would try supermarkets or party supply shops first. They might be able to direct you to somewhere else if they don't have them, or order them in for you.

Sorry to hear your daughter is giving you a hard time ... 💜💐

Stay cool !
