Perhaps she is encouraging you to do some in your own time, throughout the week and get feedback and support from her in the "check ins"? It depends on what your week involves, but, if you are anything like me, you have A LOT of stuff to process. If I waited for other's I wouldn't get anywhere...

That's alright. I did add the disclaimer to disregard if it doesn't make sense or seems irrelevant. I encourage you to just question the claim for yourself to see if it has merit. Maybe, I am overreaching in my claim? I am certainly open to being proven wrong or to be disagreed with. I guess...

Another thing to note, IMO, is that anger is not aggression and aggression is not violence. Anger can lead to aggression and aggression can lead to violence but they are not the same things, even though people smudge them together, frequently, just as people often confuse jealousy and envy...

I think that just comes from a primal survival drive; to be attractive to men has equated to survival for women, and genetic perpetuation success, since time immemorial. It doesn't help to rally against it, IMO, just to call out the reality of the situation. It helps more, to understand the...

We wouldn't have any problem with replying, here in Australia, for the most part. I would just say it means angry.

I have gone through a lot of this. Still going through it. Yes it's very hard and painful. I have someone who understands, by my side though. And I try to continue to be there for my children, although I have to walk a razor edge path with them. It is very difficult or non existant with...

Aren't as recovered as I thought I was. I have been doing pretty well, lately, until I heard my ex potentially being released from prison next week. Wooh ...didn't that nearly tip my ship? Day three of flashback debilitation frustration. My enmeshment with my adult children needs renewed...

Emotional flashback hung-over. Physically exhausted A little frustrated, had plans to do a lot, but, them's the breaks. Mostly emotionally content, tho, I have an awesome partner who has supported me through yesterday's horrid flashback and, well, for the last, nearly, eleven years; had awesome...

I went holidaying🙂

I like yoga with Adriene. On youtube and in her site. All of her's, that I've done (which is quite a few), I really like.

I got continuously blamed, abusively, from childhood, by my Ma, and then through into a very long term relationship that involved children for 20 years +.. It's not a relationship, it's a 'manipulationship", when it's like that. It's very corrosive and disempowering because it's manipulation.

Keep your chin up And "Stiff upper lip" Old English-isms. I told my second oldest to "Keep your chin up", today, on the phone as I was saying goodbye. He's pretty wobbled out by seeing his dad get arrested and carted off to jail. He is autistic, but, I'm pretty sure he understood what...

Watched The Ozarks. Quite insightful. Quite riveting. Could see the ploys and holes and stupid of it too. I want to go to the Ozarks now, and see how un-like the social culture is, to how it's being portrayed in the show. It does indicate some ways that politicians could be compromised by...

We are growing dwarf nectarines and peaches. My guy has also done some grafts with some weed roadside peach and plums to grow more.

I think it was brave of you to write what you did, especially in light of the fear @Oliverdarling. Welcome to the site. I'm glad you found this site and I empathise for what brought you here. There is an extra private journal forum you can use if you want.

"Carrying on like a pork chop". Wha!!!!???? I dunno why or when or how this came to be a saying. If anyone could enlighten me I'd be a little wiser perhaps. "None the wiser", another one.

Yes. I've used it for very good effect. I've told other's online about it too, and they've found it works. One woman wanted a baby and wanted a safe alternative to anti-d's and it worked really well and she fell pregnant soon after AND had her depression under control. It works for people...

Wow. The sense of freedom, and space to breath, for me and my kid's, with him not on the scene, at the moment, is a very palpable and tangible thing.

Hey @ms spock, I couldn't reply earlier, your compassion and understanding had me undone and as I've been coming apart at the seams anyway, I thought today was a good day to respond. @Deanna just replyed with a kind message on my journal and I'm crying my face off already. Compassion can do...

Numb Hurt A bit drugged up (valium and a small red wine on top of it) Stirred up Grief Frustration Withdrawn Betrayed Feel like hiding for a very long time

It is tough @ms spock, especially the way he's touted aa a local hero and service provider, being that this town is a "Cannabis Crusader" mecca, n general supa druggy town, 'n' all. I just want to clean their place up, at this point and help them learn to work together, in an equitable...

I sent effusively "sorry" for not being more comforting and "I hope your feeling a bit better" and "no matter what happens, we'll get through this as a family" and so on and so forth. She has calmed down towards me. She is being the pillar, the keep-it-all-together girl. Honestly? Her brother's...

Thanks guys @Friday and @Freida. I am taking both of your advices to heart. I think I will check in and see if she's up for tomorrow. I think the problem is, I have too much emotional baggage where he is concerned and how his actions impact on our children, so I'm kinda crippled, emotionally...
