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'm good @Shaz51
Both have been to the vet this week- kira needed stitches put back in one of her incisions.
And Milo went to have his vaccines yesterday and he may need surgery later in the year on his patella. I hope not.
I am at the sanctuary tomorrow and I will probably head off to bed soon too.
Have a great day tomorrow and I look forward to hearing about it xxx

Feeling very triggered by conversations online atm. Though not cos anyone has done the wrong thing by me. Just too much trauma brought up my vulnerability. Will need to take a break from forum.
People do not believe me when I say that animals get a better deal than my family, but it is true. It is why I volunteered at the zoo for years ... to arrive at that understanding.
gently Bently Apple

I'm sorry you find your self triggered by some online conversations atm @Appleblossom 😔💕
Take the break you need and come back when you're able.
I suspect you are very right about some animals being treated better than some humans.
I only wish all living things were treated kindly, respectfully, lovingly, equally and with the greatest of care.
Do as you suggest to the rest of us .... go gently Bently ... hugs Apple.
