I just checked back on the other thread - I really did not realise Cally was so bitter. She deleted my pm without reading it. My response is here on the other post if anyone is interested.

Can I just check that her name is really Tracey W (embarrassed to admit I can't remember!) only because I am going to delete Cally off my FB friends list, no point keeping her there if she is not even going to give me the common courtesy of reading a pm I send.

Just posted a link. Really intrigued about what she said, could you post or pm me. Shame, she seems different to the Cally we all got to know.

Hey all,
Apologies for the massive post I have M.I.A the last few days I have honestly felt really worn out. I have also been swallowing day nurse like pick and mix as I have had a stinking cold. I thought that having a 5 day weekend would be great but it has been hijacked by the other half who took a days leave yesterday; and a sick day half of today as he has developed a special illness that affects his glands but still enables him to play playstation.

I have spent the last couple days cleaning and thinking; the two seem to go hand in hand and I had the following epiphanies:
I am doing too much to carry our household and have allowed my husband to behave like a child instead of a husband. Although I am a nurturing person, a bit of tough love is required it is not acceptable in a relationship of equals to behave like a mother when my role is to be a wife and best friend.

I am terrified of succeeding, I have got so used to failing; that the more I achieve on this challenge the more scared I get. This is the furthest I have ever got with an idea, and I am fighting to keep believing. Also, I am so used to climbing – I don’t think I can accept not struggling. I need to believe that I deserve to achieve.

I need to be a better friend to myself, I have got so good at working I am forgetting to relax. So, I am going to make sure that when I do my mammoth to do lists: I will make sure that I schedule time to do stuff that is important to me. I love yoga, so I am going to start doing that again. I am going to make sure that I meditate on a regular basis again. About 6/7 years ago I used to meditate an hour a day and it did me a phenomenal power of good.

The cleaning thing was important as I have no office space, we have had my best friend staying with us for two years as she lost her home, and job at the same time. She now has a job, and has saved enough for her new place and she is moving in with her lovely boyfriend in June. But this has meant that her stuff has been in the spare room, and in addition to that the spare bedroom is hers at the moment. Neither room is great shakes to be honest and both are stuffed with loads of junk, clothing that should be at the charity shop, and stuff that my mum is hoping to take overseas with her when she moves out eventually.

But, it has meant that the room that I share with my husband has been like a bedsit in a sense, and the pressure of dealing with that gets a bit much. As he is not the tidiest and I spend at least 4 hours a week picking up after him. While doing the equivalent of three jobs and doing the bulk of the housework, is getting extremely draining. I don’t have much left in the tank; and the more successful or busier I get the more demanding and attention seeking my husband gets.
So, all in all I am in a good head space now so I know what I need to do. I just found that when I was cleaning and sorting, I was able to clean & sort my head at the same time. So, I am okay – massive huggles to all.
