15kg of clay is a LOT of clay, wow! It sounds fascinating, I’ve always been intrigued by sculpting and potting but I’ve not done any since school days. I’ve thought heaps of times about signing up for classes (for fun, I don’t think I have any talent in that area lol) but haven’t so far... I’d love to see pictures of it’s progress if you want to show us
Kevlar I wonder if your Mum is subconsciously trying to make up for neglecting you when you were younger... It sounds like she’s probably rewritten history in her mind to protect herself (my Dad did this) but I think she really cares about you even though she seems bossy now. I think that’s maybe just her way of showing her love for you. It’s really hard but so good (and I think necessary) for our soul to try to forgive past hurts, although I know it can be so very difficult. My Dad abandoned me when I was a little girl and it has messed me up sooo much for so many years, and really really messed with my relationships... I’m still dealing with forgiveness, although now Dad is dying and I’ve realised that not just for him, but for my OWN recovery and mental health I needed to forgive him. And I think I finally have realised that he only did what he had to do in order to survive. I’m sure in hindsight he had depression too. Very sadly he now has terminal cancer and he is finally on antidepressants himself ❤️ and I love him and I forgive him for everything. And I tell him this all the time now, and mean it. It took me a long, long time to deal with my issues and really know this in my heart ❤️ I’m glad your Mum came over and you talked, I think openness about what annoys us is important, along with compassion on how we deliver our criticism ❤️ My Mum drives me nuts sometimes too but she’s getting old and frail and is as tiny as a bird and I love her to pieces and try to be as compassionate, caring and loving as I can ❤️ Sorry, that turned into a big spied all about me! You will enjoy your me-time weekend Kev! ❤️
It’s 7.20am Sat morning in Australia. Just saying again that these sober Saturday mornings totally rock!!!!!
I just love ❤️❤️❤️ all you guys for helping me get here! Day 76 today Another 24 for me please, love and support to everyone ❤️ xxx
