SO good to see you here!!!??? I certainly will be praying for you.. I have been doing that anyway??

Good to see you back Mums, though sorry to hear about the miscarriage. That’s can’t have been an easy thing to go through.

But I love the idea of taking up ceramics. Does the clean house mean that partner’s hoarding issues are under control? Hope that’s helping things feel more stable.

You know that none of this would have been possible if they didn't have you---right? Because someone had to teach them belief in themselves, love towards others, and just plain old confidence in themselves. And from the sounds of it those skills were no where in their dads make up. So that leaves you -- the person who taught them the skills they needed to survive and thrive.
Yep.
YOU

just sayin... :hug:

I'm sorry it's taken so long for me to reply @Freida. I guess the miscarriage has taken a lot out of me.

It's mixed with the kids. My oldest daughter is going to America next week. My youngest son just turned 14, we had 4 of his sibs up here that day, that was a first. It was a pretty special day. My 21 year old and his boyfriend instigated the gathering and cooked a lovely Moroccan Lamb dish and my oldest daughter came over, with her disabled older brother. My daugher and I and the two young men all created a delicious group-effort dinner together, it was a truly special event.

I found out some upsetting news that day though, concerning my oldest daughter and next son down. The worst kind of news about what had happened to them as young children.

We are all going to do "victim services" councelling, when they can get in.
Mine starts next week.
My Dad is also coming up next week.
Thanks @Freida and I'm sorry it's taken me this long to get back to you.

Hi @NatBird :-) Sorry to take so long in answering you. I've been doing a lot of yoga, it's really getting me through.

How are you?

Hi @Sideways :-) Sorry for taking so long in replying. In answer of your question, my guy still has some stuff outside, but it's heaps better than it used to be. He's working a lot these days. He's stopped bringing stuff home, which is a relief.
I couldn't do the ceramics course, they cancelled it 'til next year. I might do a visual arts course next years, now, though, coz I'm interested in learning to paint and draw better too and this diploma at tafe covers everything I wanna learn, in terms of pottery, sculpture, painting, drawing ...
We'll see. :-)

There aren't words. I'm so sorry. I can't express how sorry I am.

So sorry to hear about the very upsetting news. Like Sideways said, there aren't any words.
I hope you're healing from the miscarriage and that your children will be able to heal too. Sending the best of wishes and lots of love to you?
