@tyme Home is a place you don’t want to escape.

The length of time doesn’t matter.

I was born in Sydney raised in Newcastle.

Had my children in Bundaberg - don’t judge me, it was a pretty little town 39 years ago.

Escaped QLD 1994 went to Perth ❤️

Now I’m trying to heal my trauma and escape QLD again :face_with_rolling_eyes:

@Glisten , @tyme

Parts of FNQ are back a little bit

My dad and I were born here and my mum moved here from Brisbane in 1934

Awww that is lovely @Shaz51 were your Daddy’s parents born there?

I admire your resilience. Since I have been in QLD, feel like the suburban wildlife is trying to eradicate me 🦎🐍🕷️🐡 birds like pterodactyls 😩

@Glisten

My dad's parents came here in 1918, newly married and grand dad built the house

@tyme I’m possibly not far from you, Im in Geelong.

I lived in Hoppers Crossing for about 10years to be closer to work.

after my mum died I decided to come home to Geelong.

I have a water phobia but love sitting looking out over the bay at the waves

@Former-Member That is fascinating - a water phobia. I have never met anyone with this.

I want ask you all about it. But that would be most inconsiderate of me.

Thank you for sharing.

No probs @Glisten I have a fear of drowning.

remember mum saying when I was very young and in baby bath she looked away for short period of time. When she looked back I was face down in the water. Swimming pools, streams, the beach etc I start to panic as soon as water gets approx halfway up my shin

@Former-Member

If you’re mother had never told you, would it still be a phobia?

Hypnosis?

I’ve had a fear of drowning for as long as I can remember, well before my mum told me about the baby bath incident

That is sad.
