Yeah, but sometimes I wish they'd leave me to get on with it.lol.

They all keep insisting I talk to them....like what can they do? They can't do anything so now I give up on talking because they all just sit there and nod silently in a condescending manner anyway.

You are missing a trick here.
You should sit down with them and talk calmly to them and say how wonderful the police are. Make them a cup of tea and soon you will have your own free police protection and confuse the neighbours :rotfl:

I swear my neighbours are going to think I'm some sort of deranged criminal.lol.
Although, not sure if I'd prefer them to think that than have to tell them the truth. :rotfl:

I hardly see my neighbours anyway and it's next door who's in trouble for real with the police, not me.lol.

Many hugs back atcha hun. Thank you. I just get so upset sometimes.

I hope you and Mr S do get back together and manage to sort things out.:)

Ooo massage sounds nice.lol. If I were her I'd give you reduced rent and take the massage! :rotfl:

I would love you to be my cybermum.
My birth family are just horrible. All my foster families have been the same. In all the families I have been a part of I have been abused. If/when I have a family of my own I'm going to make sure no one ever hurts them.

Hi all

Hope your all OK.

I returned to work on Wednesday which was OK. Haven't got any systems other than my email and internet so couldnt do any "real" work even if I had wanted to. It was good to see everyone, but I am still worried about doing the actual work itself. The thought of speaking to customers fills me with dread - and this is probably the most important part of resolving a complaint. Problem is, I just don't care any more and I know this will come across in my voice.

DH was discharged without a care plan in place:eek: . We do however have the Home treatment team visiting every day. Trouble is he doesn't admit to all the things going on in his head so how they are supposed to help him is beyond me - they take everything he says at absolute face value and don't ask him any probing questions. He just tries to make out everything is fine and he is normal (when really he thinks there are bugs in his head/teeth spying on him and he has a "radio" constantly playing in his head).

He hates admitting that anything is wrong and that he needs help. He has always been this way even with the physical disabilities. He'd rather struggle or not do things at all than ask for help. He is getting very frustrated and angry and I don't know what the best method is for dealing with it. When he has calmed down and apologised to me I asked him how he wanted me to deal with it and he said I should just tell him he is being unreasonable and tell him to stop it. But I worry that confronting him will just escalate his temper. So at the moment I am just calmly telling him that I am not going to listen when he is cross and I am leaving the room until he calms down. the other night this resulted in me going to bed at 8:45 lol.

In myself I am feeling OK. Still having the odd down day when all I want to do is go to bed and snuggle with my cat - unfortunately the two remaining cats aren't that snuggly so it makes me miss my Big Cat. Which just makes me feel even worse.

Anyhow, everyone at work said I look well (as if having a tan and losing weight solves all my problems).

morning all hope everyone is ok.

Kl i really feel for you, (((big hugs))), even tho i am in a different situation, i understand how hard it is for you. as you know i have two disabled sons, and we receive no help either, i was told carer's are entitled by law to a carer's assessment to meet there own needs, but in reality this dosen't often happen, in my case SS said there was a conflict of interests, meaning if i was to get respite from kids, the kids wouldnt benefit?, so i am left alone to get on with it.
the best thing i can advice is to try and stay calm, easier siad than done i know, and walk away , go to bed etc, like you have been doing. avoid confrontations, and try and make soem time for yourself to do activities that you enjoy, even if it is only an hour a week, you need some time to you.
if you ever want to talk pm, me or add me to msn,
big hugs
