No resolutions for me, just grateful I get to see my HC and that he is ok

Without this forum I would never have got to meet amazing people like you x

Wishing you and yours and of course your son lots of love and strength, never look back just forward xx

Upset, thank you very much for your friendship, encouragement and best wishes. No resolutions for me either

Wishing you, your daughter and son and HC lots of love.

I can't thank all of you enough for the support that I've received. You are all amazing and even though you're going or have been through such heartbreaking moments you support without question.

Lots of love and hugs x

AnxiousGirl, I'm so sorry to know how low and lonely you're feeling tonight. I don't have any words that will make you feel any better but I wanted to let you know that I'm sending you my love and best wishes.

Anxious

I like Ocean am sorry you are feeling low

Maybe a soak in a warm bath and bed with a good book, I used to read loads but I haven't for some time , what do you like to read? I was an avid Karen Rose, but then Erica James , maybe 2024 I will start to read again, I have a kindle but to be honest I prefer a book x

No matter how deep the water is in your namesake look at how far you have come, your strength and love shines through, an ocean that is calm has let your son grow from panicking as he is struggling to stay afloat, to having your arms around him keeping him safe and knowing he can rebuild, one step at a time, day by day he deserves to rebuild

A new year is almost here so dont ever look back just focus on the new days, weeks , months ahead

We as mums our love is unconditional, our bond it what keeps us binded together, I am so incredibly grateful to each and everyone of you xx

Thank you for this Ocean, I've been sat here with my mind all over the place. We're just over 3 weeks post-knock, and my daughter is asleep and partner (her dad) is at his mums. I've been with him since 2017 and New Years was always a special time for us (we'd always do something to celebrate). Today he cooked us a lasagne from scratch, and that was so lovely, but it's just not the same as he had to leave to get the last bus to his mums (he doesn't drive). I, like many of yous are sat on my own, and I can't help but think this is the sign of things to come- especially if I decide to tap out of the relationship once and for all, or depending on what sort of charge/s he will end up getting.
Going to spend my evening watching reality TV and just relax I think.

Woodpecker, 3 weeks is such a short amount of time so I am not at all surprised that your thoughts are all over the place. Those first few days, weeks and months are so hard as we gradually come to realise that life will never be the same again. I can assure you that in time you'll find your new rhythm and lifestyle and that the pain you're feeling now will gradually lesson. Take things slowly and look after yourself.
