Upset mum. I've calmed down since last week, sorry for offloading so much, it felt like I was on the brink of a breakdown. But here I am a week later and feeling calmer but having so much to do funeral etc has taken my mind off things for a while. So onwards we go :-) xx
Hello all
Its been a strange kind of weak grief for the family that no longer want to be in our lifes.Pull myself up literally after a few tears.
Just had lunch with a friend, feel I eat too much cake... O well
and off for a meal and listening to live music Saturday with a few friends.
Hopefully the sun will arrive and stay for more than one day so can enjoy being more outside.
Thank you for the Friday Gossip.
Virtual hugs all

Hi lovely ladies.
Not a bad week overall - so good to be private messaging a few ladies now. Had lunch out with friends yesterday, it's becoming a habit ......
son is good - not much to report (the way I like it, to be honest - had enough drama)!
so, yep all good xxxxxx

Afternoon Upset mum and all,
Hope it's okay for me to post here as well as a newbie to the forum. I've seen your weekly posts Upset and I've really enjoy reading them for the past few weeks - they feel like a nice bit of "normal" amongst all the madness.
Glad you've enjoyed Vampire Diaries, I started watching it ages ago but gave up. Maybe I should give it another go! I also hear "Obsession" is taking Netflix by storm... might try that one as well once I'm more settled.
For me, this week has been tough. Everything is still so raw but I'm trying to take each day as it comes. I have this afternoon off work so I think I'll go for a walk in the local park and get some fresh air.
Hope you all have good and restful weekends x

Hello everyone.
This week has been a bit of a mixed bag. My puppy is keeping me busy, but she has been poorly so was very worried. But she seems out of the woods. She is growing in confidence and my older dogs are now realising she is not going anywhere. Will be taking her to classes so with her and my other dog thats me out for two nights of week out of the house.
But, this week I have been feeling very low when I go to bed. Me & OH not sleeping in same room as I cannot face it. Both been tired and OH has been quite grumpy. When he is i then get angry as I now have to deal with everything and him. It has made me feel very lonely. My best of 34 years ditched me after 2.5 weeks after his arrest. This i am finding it difficult to cope with. I now have no one to really talk to. I donot make friends easily and though have one or two friends they are not that close. I do not have much family and the ones i do have always have a disgusted face on whenever i talk about OH so i dont anymore. As a result i think my family thinks i am fine and over everything as i pretend i am happy. This feeling of isolation is getting to me. In a couple of weeks time i have a family party which will be difficult as i am going on my own. I will have lots of people asking about OH. So not looking forward to that.
But tomorrow i am going for a walk in my local woods with a friend so that will be nice. My puppy puts a smile on my face along with my other dogs. They are keeping me going.
i have also been watching my favourite movies to keep me going.
Sorry for being miserable. Hope everyone has a great week. X

Hello all.
I love these weekly check ups!
It gives me a sense of friendship and community, although I'm not ready to tell my story yet it is striking similar to most of yours. Lurking at the background here since Feb 23. Finding courage, and hope in your posts.
I've had a phone call from our social worker this afternoon to let me know that she is closing the case for now, will be in touch after the investigation ends. She said loads of really lovely things, and now I can't remember the rest of the week.
I'm just really pleased and relieved.

It was so lovely to read about how the week has gone for so many.
Mine was a little tricky I managed to pick up a bad cough and cold which made me feel very depressed. I worked from home most of the week to spare my colleagues my germs. I felt tired and drained but managed to go for a walk with friends and tried very hard to just get through each day. I get very preoccupied with a lot of thoughts swirling around in my head. I am about 5 months into this journey which I would not wish on my worst enemy. I always thought I was a strong person but my goodness you really need the courage of a lion! Everyday I affirm and say "today will be better"

This week my husband's received a meeting invite from his HR people to answer to allegations for, essentially, not living up to the company's expectations of behaviour and use of social media based on his owning up to having been arrested! I'm staggered that they can do this and I'm revving up for a counter-attack at the meeting as he's asked me to go with him.
I was listening to the radio when they played "Tears of a Clown" by Smokey Robinson. I thought the lyrics were almost a perfect fit for how I'm feeling right now. I suspect I might not be alone.
"Now if there's a smile on my faceIt's only there trying to fool the public ..." etc.

Good evening all,
Love this weekly check in. I've had an OK week, had a good week in work, had the odd day of sun here and there so took clients out for some lovely activities.
My son has had another session of the yp inform course which is going really well, so that's a positive.
So yea all in all, a pretty good week.
Hope you all have a good weekend, whatever this mixed up weather brings us xxx

It has been a good week. Work has been okay and I am glad that it's the weekend. We will take the kids to the park tomorrow. They were gifted a yellow soft ball by their grandmother for Easter and we will take it with us to play tomorrow.

Sorry your feeling unwell, hope you feel better soon, getting out in the fresh air is good for you x
This journey is still early months and our minds can be our worst enemy, the not knowing, the sheer depths we go to as we have no say or no control, you will get there in time and always remember you are so much stronger than you realise xx

I am so sorry to read your post x
I'm not sure how they can use this and say he has brought the company in to disrupt when he was the one who spoke to them to let them know what was happening
I would definitely speak to unlock for guidance xx

With friends like that who needs enamys! Tell her she needs to back of as you have this on your own, I was fortunate that I met her a few years ago and she was relatively kind to me but I can imagine she could be really difficult, if it gets to much then seek help from someone called GP I hear they can be beneficial xx

Thank you Upset Mum. They are alleging that his actions go against the company's Code of Conduct and use of Social Media. It's awful. I am beyond livid. It's not as if he posted anything publically. These were personal chats between two people.
Thanks for the tip about Unlock. Lee also recommended ACAS. We will see what happens at the meeting and maybe we will say "no comment" until he has had the chance to take further advice.
