First, Croissant, I feel badly. I am sorry I did not acknowledge your posts but my brain has been a little foggy. I have read but not remembered much of the posts. I always find your posts helpful and insightful. I am never offended by your opinions. Stay just as you are.

Made it through the day. Thanks to all for the support.

All those with struggles are in my thoughts.

The meeting was quite a distance out of my way coming home from work, I did not want to go and then have the meeting not happen. I never received a response. I did register on their website this evening so I can at least attend online meetings.

Just had some huge hail here, hope my car is alright. If you could see my car you would realize just how funny that really is!

I could afford something newer if I liked, and I am sure I will need a car soon, but I just don't care about stuff like that, if that makes sense? I would rather spend my money on experiences than shiny, new vehicles.

I'm off to not sleep but I have to try. Thanks again for all of the support and sending healing thoughts to all who need them.

Thanks Dee!

My memory is not as good as it used to be (I blame the meds, prescribed!)

So I'll just say hi and love to everyone.

I've listened to her drunken phone calls the last 2 nights in a row. I usually don't answer when it's after 7 pm. She wants me to go up there and it's a DEFINITE no from me.

She said I support everyone else but her.

Sometimes I think when I get myself together that she wants to see me fall. I dunno... maybe not . I said ' I have to go now ' then she got belligerent... said ' whatever ' ... you just go then.

Now I feel guilty even though she probably won't remember in the morning.

Arghhhhhhh !!!!! Lol ....life

I was already feeling many things and felt what I said was overlooked, when a kind "good luck" would have meant a lot on the day when others were posting.

I already felt hesitant to share in case it was ignored when I was in a vulnerable state. Anyway. It's done and just explaining how it felt.
