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.

@WandererMoving into a new house is it whole own beast. Takes a while to feel at home. Sometimes having older things around helps, but also adapt to the new environment. Plenty of time later to socialise. Settle in with your daughter first.
Good Luck with the NDIS process.@Wanderer Engage with the visions as fully and positively as you can. It may not totally pan out, there are difficulties but also some wonderful opportunities.
Feeling I had to model dealing with the NDIS properly for my son, encouraged me to be more proactive in it for myself. As parents we have the repsonsibility to make whatever state or society we live in work the best way possible. If it were just me I might have checked out. So I am still here ... and giving myself permission to live .
There was little medical evidence and mention of my neck in my original NDIS plan, though it was in my DSP. I am hoping that the next plan will put it front and centre as my GP did.

Leaving toxic things of the past behind is best. @Wanderer Sometimes not easy, it is often an ongoing process, of facing it and letting it go. Took me a while ... ha ha ...20 years ... but worth it ...
Yes people have their opinions without knowing the full story.
You have the right to live the best version of you that you can.

@eth Thanks for tagging @Mazarita to this thread.
I hope you are both doibng alright.
I had a lovely day yesterday with some local ladies at a council do, and a lovely day today at a choir do. Tmrw should be good as we have an interesting training session and then I am invited to my son's for movie and a meal and to hear about his first week at uni.
Feeling very fortunate with these things in my life, but I am struggling a lot with my neck atm. Trigger yesterday was too cold air conditioning and my neck is still bad. Its getting very touchy again. Just have to deal with it. SO glad my son is doing better.
Hugs All who read along, are interested, or post on this thread.
