Hope everyone is ok... Surviving at least.

Mixed week here. Enjoyed the warmer weather, been productive at work and done a lot of swimming. Also cried A LOT. Swings and roundabouts on this journey as ever.

Love to you all x

Hello Friday Check-in,

I've had a mixed week too. Enjoyed watching my kids play sports and the weather has been nice.

I've been struggling with fatigue that I thought was just from the stress of single parenting but my doctor ran some blood work and it turns out I have a few medical reasons for the tiredness. I'm hopeful I'll feel better once the pills start working.

I've been sad lately. I'm still grieving for what's been lost.

Take care everyone.

I feel lost. Ex was sent to prison last Friday for the second time in 8 years. He got 2 years. I've been worried sick for the last 3 years about the case going in the press as it did last time. Someone in my road recently phoned the police to ask about his restrictions so someone here is watching our every move. I managed to get his address omitted in court which meant it can't be reported. I believe this has meant it hasn't been reported on the local Police fb page and the local press. I'm just sat here wondering when I can breathe a sigh of relief.....

Hello friday check in

This week for me also a mixed bag. Been off work this week on leave but have spent most of it nursing my sick dog. Thankfully he seems better but back in work Monday. Feel exhausted as been up most night nursing my dog. OH next to useless. He wont make a decision and leaves everything to me which is different to pre knock. It is tiring making decisions all the time, even to make a decision to take the dog to the vets or not!



Though i have recently been away on holiday with my sister, she is going away again tomorrow and i feel quite down. Especially as trips for me are now with a friends or by myself. OH did not like holidays before and now uses being on the sor as an excuse not to go. I thought he would go to try and make things better between us, but hey ho. I have social anxiety so spends agaes looking at holidays i dont have the nerve to go on! I am also not sleeping well even though i am exhausted. No plans for the weekend so quite bored. Just watching tennis. Hoping once i get more sleep I will feel better.



Hope evryone has a nice weekend and week.

Hi Friday/weekend check in!
a slightly better week here - very busy organising mums funeral on the 23rd - also going down memory lane looking through photo albums and reading her diaries (which she has kept since 1948!)

Had a blood test last week and apparently I have an under-active thyroid. Go me!! Free prescriptions!!! Every cloud and all that! Maybe explains why I struggle to lose weight!

OH has applied to Stopso (with my encouragement) and now has a counsellor lined up. We are expecting charges shortly so that'll be another set back mentally. Trying not to think beyond next Monday at the moment.

wishing everyone a good week - and hugs to those struggling xx

Well, me and the idiot husband had a really lovely day out today. The weather was perfect, and it was good to be out and about, but I was still aware of the weight of this situation on us both. I was struck by how old, exhausted and stooped he looks. I know how affected he's been since his arrest and the knock on consequences, but when you see it outside of the house, it's different, and so sad. He's never been outgoing and the life and soul of the party, but he's a shadow of himself. Even though I'm furious, sad, scared, resentful, heartbroken, I do worry about him and what's going to happen to him.

I'm meeting my best friend for lunch tomorrow, then planting some new plants and need to get ready for work on Monday, when it'll be back to reality.

This week I went to a funeral of an old school friend on Wednesday. There were a few that attended who I went to school with and hadn't seen most of them since leaving school, but was nice to see them even though it was for a sad reason.

This weekend we have been looking after our granddaughter and she stayed over night as my daughter was on a late at work. As much as we love having her, she is so tiring to look after as she has now started walking. And sometimes I feel that I don't get a break as my OH cannot be unsupervised with her. x
