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 came looking for you the other day when I posted wherever and my misbehaving; doing my head in, brain was distracted yet again.
I am doing so many things at once and achieving nothing really.
Frustration..
As I seem to be writing to most; I have little idea of where things are for you now even though I tried to read up on some on carer side.
Know that I think of you as a true friend. You mentioned somewhere our years of exchange.
I have read so many wise responses from you all over the forums.
You have the ability to say so much in such few words.
That is a true gift.
You do not ramble like I do.
I thank you for your compliments and appreciation of me over our time.
I wish that I could meet you in real life along with a few others on the forum.
I know that you and I would enjoy endless conversations. Though you might tire of my storytelling style.
Your wit is outstanding and something that is a huge drawcard for me.
Most miss my very dry humour and this I contend with.
I do one thing well and that is laugh at myself.
Bless you for being in my life in such a unique way. Your authentic vibes have still reached me.
I can honestly say hand on heart. You are one person I trust.
There are few in real life even, apart from my sons and husband. A couple of friends.
Wherever you are at in this present time please take this message of
you have achieved so much; been a wonderful mum and family member along as for me a supportive friend.
No arguing now.
Take care precious one 💜

@Sophia1 That was really beautiful. Thank you Sophia. Your wisdom is in your style. Things seem to have settled at home and I am busy in the community. Getting to know more people and feeling I might even belong eventually. There is HOPE ....
The feeling is very mutual.
Cant say more but it means a lot.

Hhhhmmm
Known about the Ellis Defence for 10 years now.
Should I take the church to court for what it did to me ... and I was on their side.

Thanks @Sophia1 Think as a first step, it best I just start a new exercise book and journal about my possible legal battles. That I keep it contained in one place, and do not waste too much of my energy on it, until I am sure it will be worth the fight. That old saying you gotta "pick your battles."
