For a while I have tried to find a thread I had started when I joined the forum that could be a "home" thread for me.
Being busy about the forum has been a coping style, where I can acknowledge all my different life experiences that had been silenced. Possibly do some good and prevent things from getting worse. Like the little boy with the finger in the dyke.

I hope you hear something soon.
Farewells are never easy. I hope the empty spare isn’t unbelievable. Sending 💜💜💜

Thanks @Appleblossom
I appreciate your message. I don't quite know where I fit in, no ones fault just my own insecurities so grateful for your offer.
I hope you hear from your boy soon. The latest with mine is he wants to get his own place. I would love that too but it is just not possible now for so many reasons.
I guess it's just not a good headspace day, *sigh. Tomorrow is another day.
Will be thinking of you my friend x

Ha ha @Maggie Glad you clarified. I did furrow my brow .... lol Need the simple laughs atm.
@Anastasia
Aaaah fitting in .. is a biggie. Very weary sigh ... but you have a lot of sensitivity as well, maybe in the insecurity.
I have tried to work hard at separating out my anxiety and fears from my feelings for and about my son. Ever evolving Work in Progress.
We cant live their lives.
Thanks for your warmth.
