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.
Feeling fragile
Needing Nurture

Hello @Glisten
yes, many of us really appreciate @tyme
thank you @outlander @and @PeppyPatti for acknowledging my vulnerability. This thread is called Fragile and for nearly 10 years, I have been very restrained and considered about overloading other people’s threads and general social chit chat with my serious or personal concerns.
My beloved son made genuine reconciliation with me last night involving shared watching a “Tele show “ and pizza ( my son has good taste and many ethics).
Again thanks to those who cared. It has meant the world to me. Kept me alive to see this day. It is a busy and unusually social weekend. I really am shy and introverted by nature.
Gently bently

@tyme it’s the yin-yang of your job. Don’t you think @Appleblossom?
Someone has to keep the Peanut 🥜 Gallery under control.
You do an outstanding job.
