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.

DEarest @Appleblossom
My friend, I hope it's you. From several years ago.
I think I remember you playing instruments?
How are you this morning ?
When your name came up I almost cried with relief. You and I know our little happiness bits. I remember how you would make people feel cared for like a blanket around me.

I've been to the physio and done their garden.
Thanks everyone. @tyme @PeppyPatti @Shaz51 @Dimity @EternalFlower
Just having to face my family is the way it is. My life is the way it has been.
Of course I have so much in common with Sinead. Institutions and Suicide Loss. Not a singer like her tho, would love to have her voice, but too shy to be a solo, and never vocalised until I was in 30s. I just love her personality and what she tried to achieve. Totally different genre.
Peppi I have mainly stuck around on here the whole time. I missed you, and keen to catch up on your news. I am going singing in big choir tonight.

Sinead was remarkable @Appleblossom .
You said "Just having to face my family is the way it is. My life is the way it has been." Yep same here but it still hurts.
Glad you're gardening for your physio - mutual benefit.
The other day I heard a list of desiderata for gardens for pollinators. Our common garden used to tick just about all the boxes.
Hope your choir practice tonight is restorative and the people are kind.
