We learn from the past, to accept who we are- to make way for a better tomorrow. Memories only harm us if we do not gtow. You are growing.

Effie- prophetic words- as usual, thankyou.

Weav- what about we slag off the stupid b.stard a lot? You always wanted here.

I am very pleased to getting my own digs soon. All the fruit cakes are out- coping with the extreme heat around me- with copious amounts of booze and shouting. Oh the joys of living in the CBD.

That is awesome about getting your own place PJ, and I think your son reading your message is a step toward rebuilding the relationship.

I have been dealing with lots with my mom long distance, and had a full on panic attack Wednesday night. Pulled it together, and have been at work and doing things with kids, and what needs to be done for my mom, but it hasn't been easy.

Tomorrrow I will be taking my oldest daughter and seceralmof her HS friends to the Women's March, which will be a nice distraction.

Shout out to all of the amazing women on this site, as well as the men who are also amazing.

Check in again later.

Hello dearest Weev. How are you and that gorgeous dog? :) :hug: ♥

(Mr Inappropriate can text someone else....just saying.....and he will more than likely end up getting an earful from someone who is not so polite.....:))

WeaverBird 01-19-2018 02:49 PM

Good evening SuziSuze. The yeller feller is asleep on my lap. I reckon as I start to know myself, Mr Unsuitable and Mr Inappropriate will stop calling.
I love you honey, have a good evening with The Goat :hug:

I think you may need a laugh.....when I started caring for my parents, I was spending A LOT of time in the supermarket. I decided that it was a very good place to meet men....oh gosh, so many thoughts regarding what an idiot I was....I was still drinking at this point.....so one lovely bloke I swap numbers with, Anthony, who is really lovely it seems, showed me what Mr Inappropriate looked like big time.

One night, when I wouldn't answer his texts because he was driving me crazy he....wait for it.....looked up my parents' phone number and called my 90 year old dad at 10 o clock at night, drunk mind, and said some rubbish about how he was worried about me.....well, my dad KILLED me.....

What on earth are you doing and what kind of characters are you giving your phone number to? Are you insane?

Yes, I was.

:roflmao

Edit: My dad was a Londoner from the West End.....he took no prisoners. :)

Yes, thank God I got to care for him in his final years.....I would never have really known who he was otherwise.....a weird blessing......to see your parent/s at their most vulnerable, to be the one who advocates for them...makes sure they are safe.....gosh.....the emotions are so powerful....it still hurts, but I am so so so so grateful I got to do this. It helped me heal.

And yeah, my dad was freaking awesome.
