Still full of a cough and cold and my sinuses hurt. Doing better though.

Oh Bloom thank you so much I think this will be really helpful to Steve and I. :hug: You are right about the 'bully by proxy' being rewarded by our emotions - they kind of feed off it. I guess this is a big learning curve for me. I will again copy your advice so hubby and I can read it...

Hi Junebug, Well this is a question I have asked myself many times and have struggled to understand. I have had help from wise one's on the Forum and think I have learned a few things. I struggle with the whole concept of family because I had unrealistic expectations. As a child I would look...

Thank you all so much for your replies, I am deeply grateful. @BloomInWinter Your words are absolutely spot on and if you don't mind I would like to print off the 'shut down' sentences and read them until they are lodged in my tired brain! I am so sorry you have had problems with your family...

I am full of a cold that has blocked my sinuses and ears and I have a sore throat and a cough. It started on Christmas Eve and has just got worse. I am taking decongestants but they are not doing much. Apart from feeling poorly I am feeling very misunderstood.

You are more than welcome Nicolette!:hug:

Happy Birthday Anthony! I was going to send you some special birthday bum wipes but I couldn't find any with your name on! :roflmao:

I have broken one of my back teeth. The broken part is rubbing against my tongue and the nerve is raw. I've booked one of my back teeth and am now in pain. Dentist tomorrow absolutely terrified, :eek::nailbiting::nailbiting:

He doesn't know what he wants Ghostlybear, he is so confused, upset and angry. He says it wouldn't bother him if he never saw them again but I think that is just a reaction to his hurt. He has said however that if they continue to treat me like I'm the bad guy in all this he will refuse to...

@Britt.f7 Thank you so much. :hug:

So sorry Amethist. :hug: I'm still feeling :poop: still triggered, still frightened, still barely hanging on.

Hi imogen. I am in the North West, I will send you a PC. Cath xx

I have a very close relationship with my husband and sons and although we have our difficulties (some of which make me want to leave at times) we do face up to them, discuss them and move on. His sisters husband has had many a dig at me and my husband over the years, always speaks gruffly with...

Overwhelmed.:cry:

Sick of being sick and sick of my husbands family treating us like :poop:. They have ignored us for years because I told my sister-in-law that her husband was picking on me and she lied to cover for him. He has now left her and gone off with a 27 year old (he's 51). Now they had decided to...

My glass nativity set lit up! Next...snow!

I'h had a dose of flu and now have Post Viral Fatigue. My muscles hurt and I am so tired all the time. I'm feeling stressed because I haven't done any preparation for Christmas and the days are just flying by. :eek: Yesterday I had to take my oven apart as It had stopped heating and it looks...

I love the darts, I didn't even know it was on. I have the dreaded flu so I'm lying on the sofa snuggled under a blanket waiting for it to pass.

I think I posted this elsewhere but here goes. All my cards are handmade. I didn't discover until I had posted them that one of them is missing a little Christmas tree, it must have come off when I was putting them in the envelope. My son found it stuck to my slipper later that evening...

@Froggie So sorry to hear that you have been hospitalised - I will miss you. :hug: @ISupportHer Glad your parcel arrived! I wonder if your parcel is a HUGE therapy ball! :roflmao: Now that would be interesting.:whistling: @Nicolette Thanks for all you have done, you are a wonder! :hug: I'm...

I seem to have some flu-like symptoms and digestive problems. I had milk on my cereal the past 2 days as I had no Almond milk so that might have caused it (also I had chocolate for my birthday which I shouldn't have had :rolleyes:). I had a lie-in today because I have been feeling very tired...

@Privateer The financial state in the UK is definitely getting worse. I heard on the news that the economy is up but our local news said it is in the south but the North is still suffering. where ever these financial geniuses get their facts it has hardly touched most people. On the news it...

It was a wonderful day! I had just had a birthday so I some lovely gifts from KP - a beautiful book and book mark and 2 white pottery doves with special messages on them. Also KP (and her H of course) bought my H and I a beautiful glass globe for our Silver Wedding and I love it! I'll post...

Yes, 'here we are in our hiding place and now everyone knows where we are!' I believe this also Albatross. In the UK we don't usually get the extremes of weather that you get but last winter was hard. We have no shops locally and it is 5 miles to the nearest one on foot (we can't always...

I can't remember that ClairBair as I haven't seen the film for ages and it is a long while now since I read the books, I hope someone has the answer for you. I'm looking forward to the next film and hope it lives up to the book (at least close to the book).
