Re: Trouble !

thanks @Faith-and-Hope
How did your appt go? hope its been ok.

I have planned a special day with the kids tomorrow, will be a busy crazy day, asked them what their favourite things to do were and so we have a list to work through.

Re: Trouble !

Hi @Shaz51,

sorry about your sick frig 😩

you may not be up to trying this but sometimes when there is water in the bottom of a frig it is because a bit of gunk is blocking the drainage hole where condensation needs to escape. It will be at the back halfway down or lower. I have fixed this by poking at the hole with a wooden satay skewer. Just a suggestion ❤️

Re: Trouble !

Good thought @Catcakes .... 👍

 

Sounds like a great plan @Former-Member.  I hope it’s a fun day for all of you .....

The appointment is one where I feel listened to, and supported, but it’s awkward and messy in the retelling because our situation was already complicated before S2 buckled and a mh team came on board for him, still without any sort of dx actualised over mr.f&h ...... and the story I have been trying to tell in that arena appears to be so unbelievable, with mr.f&h denying it al, at his charming best, that I am feeling invalidated ..... even though the scrutiny and being accountable to someone appears to have toned down all the dv level emotional abuse.

Even that scrambled state of affairs has me feeling emotionally bruised, as though 8 want to feel grateful for the progress, but I am still reeling at the cost to my self-esteem .....

And I am not holding my breath for any sort of apology when my “imagined” story surfaces as true, as it will, as mr.f&h’s illness progresses.

I have already had people starting to ask whether he has Anorexia ..... doing a double-take when they see him because he is becoming unrecognisable at their first glance ..... an d he is being mistaken for much older than me when we are the same age.

So yeah, I am being heard and believed by someone who can’t make a difference to my situation .... which is both comforting and sucky ..... !!

Re: Trouble !

they wanted to do swimming and bowling. We went swimming early because its so hot here today and i didnt want them getting sunburn. Then had a hiccup with the car... new tire needed, so had lunch while that happened as wasnt safe to keep driving on today. Then went to go bowling but because of how hot it is i think it was what everyone else had planned. too busy 😞 home with popcorn and a movie in stead. feeling a bit defeated but kids are ok. @Shaz51 and @Faith-and-Hope Hi @Catcakes too 🙂 i hope that suggestion for shaz works.

Re: Trouble !

Making the effort to try to do what they want will have been enough @Former-Member ..... it’s not your fault the bowling alley was too busy and the kids know that. Glad they are settled with a movie and popcorn, tired from the beach probably anyway ......
