Weekend Check-in

Hello everyone,
Just wanted to reach out and hope everyone has a nice weekend.
The weather has been awful but today but it has given me time to think. The last few weeks I have been lucky to speak to a work councillor. My mental health is very up and down and just think after all these years I should be over it by now. So I asked to speak to some one and it has helped. Friends have recommened books to read as well and I am hoping to get some time this weekend to start reading the self help books.
The councillor has made me look at myself and asks what is good for me and only me. I never ask myself that. I go from one thing to another, using activities to keep me occupied but never healing.
It has made me reflect on myself that I dont think i have ever done before. I am hoping to gain a little control over my situation. This weekend is all about me, what in my life can i control and what can i do about it. I am not going to fix everything in a couple of days but hope this will start me on a path of healing. I didnt realise i needed to heal. I thought i needed to meet new people, i needed to make myself busy to keep me happy. But all it does it makes me tired and when i stop i am in the same situation. I need change. Now i dont know if i will manage it but i think it is worth a try. So i hope everyone finds one thing, however small, to do just for you and no one else. Something to make you happy, i dont necessarily mean laugh out loud happy, just something just for you. Xx

Hello,
It's lovely to read that you're working on your own healing. Sorry it has taken so long for you to get there.
hope you are hunkered down in this awful weather and able to keep cosy.
I am meeting some friends for coffee this weekend and then clean the house thoroughly ready for putting up Christmas decorations. The decorations are going up in two weeks, but i must wipe all the paw prints off the walls and furniture before doing so!
have a lovely weekend all x

Hello check in!
After a traumatic week of sentencing last week, we've been busy sorting out how the rest of our lives will be, for the time being any way.
He's been and seen his probation officer, community payback team have been in touch and he starts that in 2 weeks (a bit annoyed that he can't wear his own boots, but has to wear those provided - which will have been worn by someone else)
Offender manager visited yesterday while I was here which was good as we both had questions around the shpo.
Now we need SS to contact my daughter about supervised access to the grandsons. Fingers crossed they are ok with that otherwise Christmas will be a very sad time.
Yesterday we scattered my mum's ashes.
He has a job interview lined up on Monday - onwards and upwards!
Hugs to all xxx

My divorce was granted by the court yesterday. I'm glad it is all over and I'm trying to draw a line under it - but I was married for 35 years so there are a lot of memories.
It is his dad's funeral next week. Don't think the rest of the family that know about the offending want him there. I don't think he will have the balls to face his family for the first time since the knock.
I don't feel an awfulot if emotion about it all but quite glad that I don't have to have anymore dealings with him.
