Anyhow! Much love to all today!❤️

Hang in there Minion ❤️ i’ve been reading about PAWS too, knowledge is power as they say. My moods have been really up and down, the last couple of days mostly down. I think knowing that PAWS is a real thing helps me deal with it. Seriously considered drinking yesterday, no one particular reason, just everything is really challenging at times like now , and sadness over my Mum being frail and unwell and my Dad too, managing my uni workload is hard and feeling like squashed sh.t and second guessing every decision I’ve made and thinking about oblivion but I know it’s a really really bad idea. One day at a time, we can do this ❤️ Keep posting Minion, together we’re stronger

sending you love and support, together we can all get through this x

I wasn’t around over the weekend, but I’ve been reading back today and I am very sorry things took such a wrong turn. That is just appalling . I can’t imagine how tough that is for you. So I am really happy to hear that something is going better, and that you can probably stay. Sending hugs and love, and hope for many, many more good things for you each and every day.

You need to try and let go dear friend....he is closing the door. I have no idea how some people can be so cruel.....but your guy is exemplifying some fairly insensitive traits at this juncture.....this is not the man you loved.....this is the mean one you don't want or need anymore.

I love you. So much. I FEEL your pain. ♥♥♥♥♥

♥♥♥♥♥

Thanks Venus, I love you too!

I know you, you know how it feels... I go back and forth between being so angry at the way he treats me, just shocked at how he could turn that way. And then I question what I have done wrong, how I upset him so much, if I was too pushy or asking for too much. If I should've kept the miscarriage thing to myself because if I'm honest, I knew he wouldn't take it well. But I was selfish and had to tell him, just because I thought it would help me a little bit. I always knew that it could happen he'd react badly and I'd fall even harder. And it happened. Like it happened every time in this relationship I tried to make him take responsibility for his actions or problems. I always end up feeling worse and wish I had kept suffering in silence, letting him have things his way. That can't be a good base for a relationship, can it?

I just never expected him to want to avoid me so much that he doesn't even want to see me when I collect my belongings. This was all new development since I told him about the miscarriage and I am so shocked. He was always the first calling other men out on their sexist behaviour or on not taking responsibility. I just never thought he'd do this. Not to that extreme.

I feel so burned out. I just don't know how to process all of this.

You can't process it kev....if we could understand, truly understand how or why these guys did this, well we wouldn't be the kind caring women we are.....do you know what I mean?

EDIT: If anyone is looking for me I am going out for a while....yes, that's right, I am dressed and looking gorgeous and I am rejoining the world.

Enjoy your time in the outside world! And I think you are probably right about the above. It's just so hard to accept that.

Love you

Great news Suze! Have fun

Kev, I have been where you are. So frustrating. I know. I can tell you it does get better. But people that act like him will rarely give answers.

I don't know what happened. One day last month I just started drinking. Nothing really led up to it. I was feeling really good. It just happened.

I was over 4 months sober then and everything was going great.

That first time I drank wasn't too disastrous, and I suppose since then I drank maybe 6 times. And each time I went all out.

So, I did it, I wish I hadn't, but I'm back on the horse. It's back to square one. but I still have those 4+ months, it's still sober time and sober muscles. That's the way I'm looking at it anyway.

So again - I'm sorry for the way I bailed without a word, it was really inconsiderate. But I'm pleased to be back, and I'm looking forward to catch up with you all x

Like a thief in the night that old AV gains control------
Glad your'e back Jack

Jack!! So good to see you again.... I was thinking about you the other day and wondering how you are .... glad you are back with us. Weev, hope you are OK xxx and where is Soberleigh? Hope you're OK Leigh.

Lots of love Kev, Jo, Venus and everyone ... thinking of you all xxx

Phenomenal day at Animal Kingdom and Typhoon Lagoon today. I'm sunburnt, my feet ache (we're averaging 25,000 steps each day), we're up early every morning and getting to bed super late ... I'm being asked a trillion questions by my children each day.... 'mum, what is the relationship between Mickey and Minnie?'......'mum, why isn't Pluto a planet anymore?' ..... 'mum, what really happened to the dinosaurs?' ..... etc etc .... and I have never been happier. Each day is packed full of fun .... there's no way I could do this trip hungover. This is the best holiday ever.... I love Disney, I love Orlando, I love that my kids think I know the answers to everything... I love this incredible sober life. 24 more for me please xxx
