    :rotfl:its long but not THAT long ....................... and certainly not long enough to encourage a Prince upto my room by lopping my hair out of the window.

    Come to think of it the windows are also painted shut - :confused: therefore I fear I shall be princeless

    Dunno why I bothered brushing it anyway - 2 seconds on the beach and I resumed my normal sea monster look......and the view dissapeared!

    Hi Guys,

    Thankyou for the kind messages :A

    I am afraid I have actually screwed up bigtime.

    Basically my Ds has been home this weekend to see us, as you all know Mr BB is not well. To cut a long story short I am afraid I got very drunk last night and said some very hurtful things.

    Of course I did not mean them, and I know that is no excuse. But I think it was just all the pressure that has finally got to me and I just got totally totally flipped.

    Needless to say my Ds is far from impressed and is very angry with me.

    I did apologise this morning and Mr BB in fairness has been wonderful over the whole thing. My Ds though is not.

    So here I am feeling very :o:o and very upset.

    So today I am full of regrets and feeling very ashamed.

    I also know if I had not had that first drink then I would not have gotten drunk. I have been feeling so stressed and so very unhappy, I am not trying to justify myself, I know I have behaved very badly.

    So this will be my first af day Marru please and sorry again.

    Hugs and God Bless
    Budgie xxxxxxx

    Aww BB.....Hugs and calming thoughts are coming your way.
    Please don't be too hard on yourself.....sometimes something has just got to give and with all the pressure you have been put under it is no wonder that once you had one drink you couldn't stop.

    I dont know how you can deal with DS anger apart from apologising again and explaining to him how you are feeling about the whole situation.

    I am glad Mr BB is being understanding to a point but he is partly to blame for this and even though he is depressed he must see that you are not coping well (hence being understanding today).

    Maybe you both need to see a doctor or maybe some counselling.
    A few years ago I was very depressed and our marriage was on the rocks...but we decided it was worth trying to save it and went to relate together and seperately.It really was wonderful to talk to someone who was not involved, about our feelings for everything, and it really helped.

    Waffling on a bit I know....sorry:o...really wish I could help.
    One day at a time my dear.
    Thinking of you.

    Take care of you.
    Love Mollypollyxxxx
