Hello Friday check-in,
I hope you've all had an okay week. Mine has been Good. My youngest had a birthday and I threw him a small family party. He really liked the present I gave him which makes me pretty happy. My oldest is doing really well in University and just found out she got a pretty big scholarship. Very proud of her. My middle child is pretty quiet and I've been working hard on our relationship. This week he opened up a little bit and talked to me just about day to stay stuff so I'm really happy about that. I visit my husband weekly and the visits are now outside. It's a grassy area with a kids play structure, a bunch of picnic benches, and it's surrounded by blooming lilac bushes. It really is a very nice way to visit under the circumstances. I finally disclosed to a friend what's been going on and it didn't go very well. I'm not sure where we go from here but I do feel some relief that it is not a secret anymore.

Nice to see this post. I was abroad last week but looked for this post and was surprised how sad i felt that there was not one.
My week has been good, was on holiday with my sister. My OH never liked holidays before this but he did go, but since the knock he wont go. Been away a couple of nights but that is it. It is difficult, we are not really together anymore, though we live in the same house. My adult children are all very busy and it is nice to see them getting on with their lives, but it just highlights that for the last three years mine has stayed the same. I have done a lot of thinking while on holiday and i intend to ask about doing the inform course. I need to move on, but mentally not strong enough. So i am also hoping to go back to seeing a councellor.
I have been sidetracked though as my young dog has been quite ill. Had to take her to the vets but she seems now to be on the mend.
Hoping to go walking tomorrow, have to try and lose the holiday weight, and meet up with friends. I am planning my first solo trip which is scaring the life out of me. But feel if i dont then i will miss out on so much. So heres hoping i gain the courage.
Hope everyone has a nice weekend. X

Hi Friday check in
Finally returned to work this week after 4 weeks off after 2nd interview and disclosing what had been found on the phone and next steps.
Lost my best friend of about 6 years due to 'although I haven't done anything wrong, I am choosing to stay with a convicted SO' so that's that. She has a young baby so I do understand the need to protect him. It's just sad all the same.
Away camping this weekend for a bit of normality, possibly the calm before the storm.
All in all, an odd week!
