My dear poorly friend Upset - A big fluffy hug sent and hope you feel better soon. Chest infections are nasty and really knock the stuffing out of you. I'm sure being chauffeur driven to visit HC will cheer you up. Love you lots X
I'm so pleased and proud of my son today. Yes – many will not understand – but he received a certificate for completing his treatment Program. He feels it's been a complete success.
As for me, all good X
Love sent out to all forum users x

Upset, I'm sorry to know you're feeling poorly. The chest infections this winter seem to have a super strength like no other. Look after yourself and try to take plenty of time to recover and get well. Hopefully the rest on the drive to your visit tomorrow and spending time with your son will help.
Smile, many congratulations to your son, that's a fantastic achievement and one he deserves to feel really pleased about.
I have no plans yet this weekend but am sure the grandchildren will keep me busy.
Sending love and strength to you all and hoping you manage to find a few moments of peace in the trauma of your journeys.

Evening all
Upset, hope you feel better soon.
I have been off work this week as it is half term. We have been dealing with teenage angst as our youngest daughter broke up with her boyfriend (well, he broke up with her). At first she was devastated, but now she's at the stage where she is angry with him and it's his loss. She had been going out with him for a year and 2 months. She is going to pick up her things from his house tomorrow.
We have had SS back in our lifes as concerns had been raised by my OH's new PO. I don't know why concerns were raised as we have been adhering to the restrictions, but anything my OH says to the PO she takes the wrong way. After speaking to the SW on the phone, she asked what we would like to change, which I told her was for my OH to have unsupervised contact with our youngest daughter who is nearly 17. She said for a thing to change, they still need to do an assessment and she is coming out to us next Tuesday.
We've paid off our house though this week. No more mortgage, yeah!
This weekend is not my own though. I look after my baby granddaughter on Saturdays, but this weekend I am also looking after her on Sunday. She's 10 months now and into everything.
Upset, hope you feel better soon.

Hello Friday check-in,
Another week has passed. I'm feeling sad for the new moms struggling to finalize details with social services. It seems like common sense that their cases would be a priority.
Upset- I hope you feel better soon and that you have a nice visit with HC tomorrow. I'm always a little jealous of the variety of food you can get on your visits. When I visit my husband it's only chips or chocolate.
Smile- so lovely that your son has finished his program. He should be proud.
Oh the pain of teenage heartbreak. I remember it so well. Only dwarfed by the pain of this experience...
It's a quiet weekend for me. I bought a bottle of wine and hoping to stay under the blankets.

Feel better soon Upset Mum. Hope those antibiotics kick in soon.
Smile - that's such great news about your son. Well done to him.
This weekend is one of my very close friends birthday, so along with another of my besties, we're going to see her. Then on Sunday meeting up with other friends. I've had a good day today, so I'm hoping I feel the same over the weekend so that no one picks up on anything bad that's going on with me. They don't need to know anything right now, especially when it's a birthday for one of them. Today my person had his first counselling session with a therapist from Stop So. I'm hopeful that it will go well for him and he'll be a better person for it. We'll see. X

Hello friday check in.
sorry late to the party. This week has been good, but i have been off work back tomorrow. Done loads of line dancing, went out for lunch, met a friend and went away with OH to try and talk things through. Well, i did manage to get him to agree to set a date to talk. So a little progress. But he still wants to put his head in the sand. But i now appreciate sleeping on my own. The hotel room was too hot, he snored and kept moving a lot and then his arm hit me in the head whilst he was a sleep. So thankful i am back in my own room. Since it has been decorated i have loved having my own space. So some positives.
whilst out with friends last saturday night, a friend asked me did i consider myself single or married. I could not answer and still cant. Technically i am married though except for this weekend ( which was originally to go and see his mother miles away, but didnt happen due to the bad weather. I booked a hotel half way home so instead of losing the money went anyway, which means another trip together to see his mother), we dont do much togther. I even invited him to come with me to the cinema and he said no as he did not want to see the film. Now, he has always been like that so nothing new, but i felt i had given him an olive branch and he did not take it. Ie he could have suggested another film, knowing i will pretty much watch anything. So married yes, but sort of living separately, single? Well i am married, and though not very happy i do not think i could trust another person again. My OH is the last person you would expect so how can i trust another person. So the debate continues.
i hope you are feeling better Upset, chest infections are painful but hope you visit went ok. Smile, well done to your son. It is so nice to hear he is moving forwards positively. I am so sorry to hear about your daughter, Dawn19, and how the PO is making your life harder. It is shameful how the professionals make things worse for us.
Back in work tomorrow, but heres a hope everyone has a good week. Love to you allxx
