How are you all today? As I’m struggling a bit today with it being Father’s Day due to reasons that aren’t associated with the case, it made me think of those who find days like today difficult because of the situations that have lead us to being on this forum.



I hope you have all managed to get through despite the grief, guilt, or shame that you may be dealing with. I decided to have a day to do some cleaning, watch a nice tv show and stay off social media! I know from past experience that going on Facebook etc can be a massive trigger.



Sending lots of love out to everyone today! Xx

Father's Day is always an emotional day for me. My own dad died suddenly many years ago and I still miss him so much.

Smile through tears - I’m glad you have good memories to hold onto! It sounds like he was a great person for you to look up to :)



Athena007 - I’m sorry today has been difficult for you. That’s a lot to deal with all at once. The situation we find ourselves in already makes it hard to get through the day to day without days reminding us of how our lives have changed x



Ocean- I'm sorry to hear that. I hope you've managed to do something nice with people you love today. Sending hugs x

My kids don't want anything to do with their Dad. Makes me feel sad. My husband has very little ti do with his own father. Sort of feels like history repeating itself although for different reasons.
