Living with Ourselves

hello @eudemonism @eth @outlander @Bunniekins @Mazarita @Silenus @NameUnknown @Grasshopper3 @patientpatient @soul @Former-Member @Determined @Shaz51 @Former-Member @Friendconnect @Teej @utopia @Queenie @Appleblossom @Zam @perseverer @Janna @Owlunar @Former-Member @Former-Member

First of all I wanted to let you know that I have conversed with all of you at some stage on both sides of the forum..

It was my intention to close two of my threads and change my name in the kindest way for all of you...

I commenced this process on the 12th March and today is the first day that I have access to actually post or respond to anyone....I was in the last couple of days able to register a new name and like some posts...

I am so sorry that my profile ended so abruptly that was definitely not my intention....

In fact if I had done it my way.. instead of thinking would be better to be guided through the process....I would have just written on one of my threads my reason for closing my account tagging you all in....then requested account to be closed and username put to bed so to speak

I have chosen to take this path in order to protect my family's sense of safety .. privacy...health..

Please let me reassure you that this has nothing to do with any members on here...

I have tagged each and everyone of you because you have given me support and invited me into a little of your worlds...priceless experiences...I have felt heard and valued on here....Thank you all so much..

Moving forward ...this is who I am now and hope to be able to converse on the forum living in the now not the past...therefore no mention of my previous username necessary...

If you do not know who I am...that is fine also...perhaps all of the above is not relevant for you..

take care

Re: Living with Ourselves

@Adge

I wanted to let you know that I lead every single word that you wrote..

I sensed that you were releasing ..venting feelings that have been held inside...putting others first..

I believe that your doctor is correct in stating that you are the most functional person in your family..

You definitely show support and compassion on here..

I was trembling myself after my phone call where I stood up to my sister..

I am off to try to get some sleep..settle my feelings..

I just want to let you know that you were very brave in writing what you did..it might or might not feel like it yet..

I am proud of you.

have a restful night...everyone and thank you all for support :

Re: Living with Ourselves

Thank you so much @Sophia1 I really appreciate what you said, & your understanding.

Yes it was rather scary to write what I did, to try to express what I did.

That's because I've seen some very harsh replies - & because I've always found it very hard to stand up for myself, or to speak out (especially with family members).

I appreciate how hard it can be to stand up to someone close (your sister). That was brave of you.

Yes, sleep time, so tired...

Have a good night.

Re: Living with Ourselves

waving goodbye to you all and others whom I have missed...have not spoken to in a while...too difficult for me to be on too many threads now...

@eudemonism @eth @Mazarita @outlander @Bunniekins @Silenus@Former-Member @Adge @Former-Member @Owlunar @Teej @NameUnknown @Smc @Former-Member @Determined @Shaz51 @Faith-and-Hope @Appleblossom @Zoe7 @Phoenix_Rising @CheerBear @Friendconnect @Former-Member @Grasshopper3

not sure when will be back...sending each and everyone of you a balloon filled with hope..peace...tranquility..calm...strength for your journeys...

you can let the balloon go and think of me just for a split second...then think of all of the things that you have achieved...all of the help that you have given others and congratulate yourselves...forgive yourselves ...most of all love yourselves for who you truly are....

this is what I will think of along with my husband and sons...yes even my family who are not being very nice to me ....as I begin this next journey....

Sorry to see you go @Sophia1 ..... but you have to do what is best for you .....

If you change your mind at any time, you can reduce the notifications you receive through your profile settings (mods can help) or turn them off completely.
