So grateful to you all. I just kept reading over what I wrote last night. I cried last night after writing it out and then again a few times.
Reading the responses, it's changing things. I still feel overwhelmed and full of grief but some relief. The shame is dissipating.
Thank you all for being here, reading, responding, helping me with the shame and grief of it all.
Thank you @somerandomguy . You are a kind, thoughtful, honest, empathetic man and please don't ever feel ashamed or less than or inadequate as a man again. You are a good guy and I want you to know, I know you have integrity and that is priceless and more precious than anything in a man, or a woman, for that matter. It counts more than anything.
@ladee sweet ladee, what a heart. You are amazing and full of grace and wisdom and I'm so privileged to know you, even though it's just a little. Thank you so much for your kindness, reassurance and understanding. Love you lots.:hug:
@Swift , no way are you a weak person, no way. You are making a good and caring call to care for yourself and I totally support your decision to do so. The stuff I mentioned is hard to deal with and I don't want anyone to hurt over anything I do, so thank you for looking after yourself. Love ya my Aussie Sis.:hug:
@littleoc Ya know, I got a call from my kid this morning, ok, he's not a kid anymore but in a way he'll most likely always be like a little boy. He told me about Anzac day and "black ops, Call of Duty" and world war 2, Afghanistan and listed many of our family members and pets, past and present. He's doing ok.
He has a pretty good life, a great day program, support workers, all sorts of services. He's pretty happy and secure now. What more could a mum ask for?
He's also nearly 26 but will probably always be my (kinda little) boy and I love him loads, I'm really glad he made it. He's had a really tough time of it but is doing well at the moment and I'm overjoyed about that. I've battled long and hard for this outcome and I couldn't be happier about it. The worst seems to be past us.:)
@AngelkeeperJ/AKJ You've been here for me from the start. I know you've been struggling and although I missed you and had my own struggles too, I sent fond thoughts and have you in my heart, firmly and affectionately. We've shared deep and painful stuff and I am eternally grateful for your kind, loving, wise and understanding presence. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart.:hug:
it's true, my darlings are coming back to.me and it means the world to me.:inlove:
