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.

It made me smile this morning reading through here
@Appleblossom Hoping you and son are working out the best way forward and you get to see your grandson soon. I love that this is a cooperative thing with you and he working through it. Kudos to you both for that. I have a thought of you singing your grandson to sleep with a beautiful lullaby. 💜🤗
