My special place

My special place

Well yesterday certainly threw everything off track. But thanks to some very thoughtful and kind people I was able to get threw it and continue.

I cannot say a lot about what happened as I am sure you all understand but need this support in place.

Things WILL be ok, just a lot to work out.

Psych visit yesterday sorted out some of the things and more things will be happening early next week.

I am sorry if I put anyone through any despair, but unfortunately what happened yesterday morning had to be done.

Thank you all for your continued support.

Re: My special place

@Snowie Your mother has no idea of the impact of the past on you and probably never will. She has been in denial since the beginning and unfortunately only wants to see it from her own point of view or beliefs. We cannot change what others think nor can we make them understand the impact when they reject the truth. She can believe or not believe what she wants but what is important is the ongoing effect this has on you - you have every right to feel the pain at this time of year - especially under the circumstances ...but you also have a loving family that you want to protect and give the best day too. Sometimes that can be overshadowed by how you yourself feel but feeding off their enjoyment and excitement can be a good thing as well. Whilst the past cannot be changed - you can focus on your kid and their excitement and make it the best you can for all of you. It is not easy but having something to look forward to on these difficult days can help a little.

It really is hard you not being able to see your psych for so long but that too is not something you can control right now. Utilise the helplines in the meantime and of course us here for support - we got you Hon

Re: My special place

Oh my dearest @Snowie

Sometimes when others feel guilt for failing to see what was under their nose, or failing to protect you, their guilt and shame is misplaced and redirected. This is possiblly what your mother is doing. It doesn't make it right at all. And asking you to get over SA?! That's harsh. My SA was 44 & almost 40 years ago, and although I deal with mine differently, I know I'm still affected to this day.

You're in such a difficult situation, and it's so very hard for you. But you are very brave, and are also trying to do the best you can. For everyone. Except perhaps you.

Don't go through this difficult time alone hun. Lean on the helplines and us. You don't have to be brave and strong with us. We love you so much. 💖💖💖💖💖
