Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Hi All

There is a thread operating on the Lived Experience Forum under Night Shift where members who are having trouble sleeping for any reason give a bit of a shout-out, to see if there is anyone else sleepless and looking for company. It's been such a great thing, I thought I would start one over here too.

I have had the odd few nights where I have woken up on and off, and my kids have been having a bit of trouble some nights too, depending on what has happened during the day.

Being a carer can be lonely too, so if you are making an after-midnight cup of something hot, and wonder who else might be doing that too, maybe have a look-in here and see if anyone else is about.

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Whoooa .... reeling just now ....

There is a plan formulating very fast around us for S2 to move to Melbourne. We have a family property there, but the plan would be for him to move into his own living space, which is great .... and for us to relocate there in support of him .... that is what has just blind-sided me .....

It wouldn't happen straight away, but within the next year.

It would reverse our current situation of living in the west and holidaying in the east ..... and it is probably just what is needed to bring about S2's independence and healing, but in the wake of what the last 8 years have thrown up, and the fact that we are not fully sorted out in our household here, this is too big to wrap my brain around in this moment.

Think I am going to barrel out for a massage and forget the world for an hour or so ....

Think you might need more than a massage @Faith-and-Hope. Keep us updated - sounds like a pretty big plan.

Thanks @soul .....

Might pick up some Baileys or something on my way home. Anyone wanna glass ?

Sometimes solutions come from strange directions ...... maybe we need to be in Melb for WH's e.d. to be addressed without him having to go through the struggle in front of friends and family over here .... dunno .... will have to wait and see.

Whatever happens, it will be alright, I'm sure of that. Nothing about it could be more. complex and numbing than these last 8 years have been anyway ..... it's gotta start getting better, and maybe this is part of it.
