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.

Hi y’all,
@Tilz @Appleblossom @tyme @Bunniekins @tyme @Jacques @Glisten @Tilz @TAB @saturnzoon @Zoe7
Thankyou for your very lovely messages, you are all important to me. I’m just working out, how to live y best life while my Mother does her normal but regular ‘rip me apart,’ to friends family and her Gp.
Probably doesn’t help that I still called her this morning.
It might take a week because I need to be gentle with myself.

.. @PeppyPatti my mother died like 7 years ago now; she used to be good for a chat mostly before then.
Father went 2 years ago. he turned on me and badly then was like all sugar in front of siblings til he couldnt hold it together anymore.
best thing I did was avoid him before death prob didnt see him last 4 years. He didnt leave me much choice , but I was not going to be a victim for him.
We are all different. yet the same. someone has pre empted what most people think of..
not sure why you need to see her, I have patchy info . will leave it at that. just saying 'disengage' is an option .... Good Luck.

Yes @TAB Actually I had a great deal of empathy for you.
But not for me ??
@TAB
How did you not contact ?
She's started up a new thread of lies about me. And she lives down the street. I thought I could see her once a week for dinner but I'm not going to anymore.
I cannot believe that I called her. What was wrong with me…..

Nothing wrong with love and empathy @PeppyPatti, but strong boundaries are needed with some people who don’t respond well to either. Take care of you Hon ❣️🌷
