Re: catching up
No I am in my aunts house, sitting on the verandah, I can hear willy wag tails, a dog next door, and chickens clucking in the garden.
I am taking deep slow breaths, I just want to be with you.
Please don't let me take time away from your children Karen, they need you, I will manage
Hugs and kisses my angel, you are my world.

Re: catching up
Oh no @Jacques what a terrible atmosphere! I'm glad you are taking some time to distract and look after yourself. Remember they are both adults and all adults near each other tend to argue sometimes I think and they are sisters lol. I hope that things settle down soon, does your aunt have mental health issues? Was wondering when you said she has paranoid thoughts. Lj
