Fragile

Fragile

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.

Re: Fragile

Thanks @Shaz51 The trip was good. A few ups and downs ... a possible case of covid that keeps being negative on the RAT ... eye roll ... but not severe. Had company most of the way, One bus replacement which I hate. Gained a lot of inspiration from it and figured out who my friends were, and who were not worth it. I tend to keep trying at relationships even when they are not really working. Feel a lot of clarity about future directions for me personally. PLanning to be busy this year, so will not be on forum as much, but not leaving....

Re: Fragile

@tonys thanks for caring for my vulnerable side. It is pretty huge. Yes I made a dive down the rabbit hole of reconnecting with my daughter. I was not sure if it would help but I kinda had to do due diligence regarding her. For her, my son and myself. Anyway I got agitated and discombobulated for 3-4 days. It was a turn over every last stone type of instinct. It is so unjust how the family has split but I have no doubt it would have been worse if I stayed. The Catholic Church even annu

@Oaktree thank for sisterhood and being up at same weird hour.

I am back on my usual path… sorer and wiser.

I don’t want to burden Eternal’s thread by my issues. So I tagged you both over here.

It would have been worse if I stayed. The Catholic Church even annulled my marriage. It was incredibly complex over 3 generations. I am lucky I got out alive. I did my best for harm minimisation and putting her on the right path… but somehow things SPLIT and she became Uber successful and scapegoats me. Still I love her. She is driven and works hard and she is like me and must suffer with it all. But am totally blocked.

Anyway it means a lot you both care.

Am back on the horse…. but tell you what… that old grey mare she ain’t what she used to be.

Generally got lots physical pain too.

Step after step… breathe…

Bedankt

Thanks muchly.

Re: Fragile

Tag me anywhere, any time, @Appleblossom ... But have to say, very thoughtful of you regards

E / flowers.. OK well your gluing the chandeliers back together. Catholic church again hey.. Buggers..

You buy the quick lime, I'll start digging graves. Well I think it's commendable just how hard

and how many times you have tried to resolve things, in your mind and with your sibling's.

I just pulled up on a desert highway and ripped all the mirrors of my wagon to stop the temptation

of looking back. Simple, effective, . . . but your way is definitely the best and right way...

Your a Mum born to care, and that's the burden mums share.

I have no advice for one as wise as you. I'll just say. I actually have an old Mare. Back on the other place. She's been retired n chomping free toffee apples and fingers for years now. Don't even think

about throwing a saddle on her. she is retired, the usual aches and pains. I asked her, Why are you such a lazy old free loader. She whispered back. These are meant to be the best years of

my life, go ride a broom . . .

Every last day must be about you now Apple . . . Respectfully yours.. tonys..

@Oaktree , I'll take this opportunity to say, howdie Sis . Don't go thinking OL tonys will forget.

You made me your brother remember.. Now your stuck with me.. LoL

Stay safe Sis.. tones.

@Appleblossom

I am glad to hear that you are continuing to breathe and starting to feel a little better. So sorry regarding your daughter. I know how that feels, my daughter is not talking to me right now. Apparently I upset her. Anyway…kids hey? You love them more than life itself but they don’t seem to know.

@tonys glad that you haven’t forgotten your little sister. Is there any fairy floss to go with those toffee apples? I love some fairy floss! My favourite is pink.

Hi @Emelia8 good to see you here
