My journey

There is no-one that could love your daughter as much as you Hon - and no-one she could love more than you because you are her mum and she needs you @Former-Member

I know how hard it is when you cannot see any way out of the turmoil inside of you - it destroys every single part of you but you are here and I am pleased about that because despite how you feel about yourself - I really enjoy chatting to you

Hating ourselves is giving the power to those that hurt us - and although I can say that I know how hard it is to like anything about ourselves when those 'outside' forces become internalised and we cannot see out of the darkness - I hear you Hon.

I am not going to say it will get better or it will get easier but you do find ways to deal with it - and your daughter is the number 1 reason that you can deal with all this - just as my fur babies have become for me

btw @Former-Member there are no judgements here Hon - just people who care and want to support you - and that does make a difference to me and I hope it does to you too

haha @Jojo2 - that'll teach him lol

I agree @Jojo2 - you need some time to yourself too - how old are your kids?

Yes that is a lot of money - and it certainly adds up quickly when you are shopping. Is hubby likely to get angry @Jojo2 - if so maybe keep a couple of things you could take back to make it more ok
