Here we are again, is it me or are the weeks just flying by!
A positive week for me as in work was busy but lots of interaction with the guys at work it always brings me joy just catching up with them, hearing how they are keeping x
No visit with HC this weekend but we had an hour long chat last night, he is as always doing well, working hard in getting his course work done for his degree, he is ahead of his schedule, he does have down days which is understandable but he has coped so well x
Picked the furbaby up after work today and we went out for an hours walk, the weather was just perfect, the sun was out, she played with a few other furbabys so is now snoring away bless her x
Every month I buy my daughter a bouquet of flowers, I usually go for white and cream colours but today I ordered Autominal colours oh my they were just perfect, it's a local small business florist and they last for ages, she loved them xx
I hope you all have a lovely weekend, and remember no matter how difficult this journey is each one of you deserve to have even just a moment of sunshine to remind you of how incredibly amazing you are xx
Love sent as always xx

Hello Friday Check-in,
This week went quickly for me. Last weekend was Canadian Thanksgiving so I got to spend time with family, ate lots of yummy food, and reflected on the things in my life I am thankful for. I have a roof over my head, food in the fridge, the love of my close family, and the new friends I've made in a twelve step support group. I'm also thankful to everyone on this forum who helps me feel not so alone.
Upset - I love that you bring your daughter a monthly bouquet. What a sweet tradition.

Hi my lovely ladies - yep these weeks certainly fly by.
Some real struggles voiced this week - it makes me feel so sad to read these posts - I remember my personal desperation at times. Let's hope we continue to stick together and give our loving support to get these ladies/families through these days/weeks.
Ive not had a bad week, again a couple of blips to cope with but all good and much like todays weather the sunshine fought its way through the fog.
i too love flowers, and if there's a space in the soil in goes a plant..... I also adore Autumn colours, a stunning time of year.
Not a lot planned for the weekend but that suits me! Love & a cuddle passed round to you all xxxxx

It's one week since the knock.
I feel a little out of place on this forum site. Although I'm also finding it helpful, if not a little scary!
Many of the posts talk about their person having addictions to drinks/drugs/porn, or a bad childhood, or admitting to searching or chatting, not being able to control it, or second offences. Plus the leaflet given, talks of help in understanding why and getting help for the problem.
My OH doesn't fit those. It's 1 image on a social media app, that he barely used and deleted off his phone. He's no knowledge of it. I scroll his photo gallery for our family gatherings photo theme each week, never come across indecent images.
I'm hoping there's others on here with similar stories, of their person genuinely having no idea why there's been an image flagged up.
Apprehensively approaching this weekend, with what feels like a dark cloud over us. I can't believe we're a week into this already.

So glad you had a lovely time, it's the small things that people take for granted that we learn to hold and appreciate the food in the fridge, the roof over our heads, the fact we can get through each day, the inner strength we find, it makes an unbearable journey bearable dosent it xx

Hello my lovelies
I've been quiet on here the last couple of weeks because as I'm sure you've all experienced, sometimes it's all a bit too much. It was far easier to stick to scrolling through FB, where apart from editing the privacy on posts as they come up on Memories, I can pretend all is fluffy...
Anyway, we had our first visit last weekend. We took him some clothes and books, but as we had no idea how it works, we missed the cutoff for check in, and had to have a closed visit. It was so nice seeing him though, he's doing as OK as he can be and at least we know for next time.
Our youngest turned 16 yesterday, so we had a lovely evening full of homemade cheesecake to celebrate that. And we'll be taking him out for a meal tomorrow. Such a shame his big brother couldn't be with us though. And all for naivety and stupidity.
Work has been full on this week too - roll on half-term!
Upset-mum, I love your flower tradition, that is so nice! Abd I'm glad your boy is getting some positives out of this - what is he studying?

Very scared this Friday as its the last friday before my OH first court appearance next week.
i am so scared. He is not coping well with his MH and BP.
I am terrified.. I know its only the first and he cant be in prison from this one but I am finding it so hard to find some sunshine in this storm.

I love reading all about your weeks. These Friday check ins are great.
My week has been really hard. Both kids have been upset for different reasons. The youngest one misses his dad so much, and the oldest one is angry that he could do this to us. And we're not even 6 weeks in yet. 30 days from seeing SS last and we haven't heard a thing. Is that even normal?! And all while trying to stay positive for the OH, and trying to pretend that everything is perfect and lovely at work. Thank goodness it's the weekend x

Hello ladies,
Lovely time of the year. I will be cleaning the fallen leaves tomorrow. They are everywhere.
We are now 22 months post knock and 5 months post sentencing. Battling with social services, and man that battle is H.A.R.D. and the processes are slow.
Hopefully one day I'll have something positive to say.

Hello All
Been an ok week for us, OH is getting on with jobs around the house. He has a new date for sentencing, another 3 week wait! Just when we think this 'phase' is coming to an end the goal posts are moved again.
That's a lovely idea buying your daughter flowers every month Upset. I love flowers but we have a young cat that likes to play with the leaves and knock the vase over! So no flowers until she has grown out of the naughty stage.
Hope everyone finds some peace this weekend, take care x

Hi Friday check in,
my week has been good. Trying to sort through little ones toys ready for new ones at Christmas. Sneaking things to the charity shops a few at a time but she seems to have developed some sort of special skill where the only toy she wants to play with is one she hasn't looked at in months and one I've taken to the charity shop that day. She is a bit too young to involve in decisions of which to give away, she feels that her need is greater than anyone else's lol. Had her parents evening this week, she is kind, well mannered and throws herself into every task she is asked to do. Pretty much the opposite of at home but that's usually the way.
I've finished my second diploma in holistic therapy this week. Reflecting on my life over the past four years I'm so incredibly proud of what I've achieved and excited to see what the future holds.
I sometimes feel like a bit of a fraud when I'm trying to give advice to people wanting their OHs to move back in because we are yet to be at that stage but we're almost there now. Nobody can say we've rushed anything. I'll post an update once we have been back to ss and know what the outcome is.
I hope you all have a good weekend whatever state you're at xxx
