    My vote is ~ you go on holiday but at the end of the day it is up to you x

    That's what would get my vote too Bearacus. Speaking as someone closer to your mum's age then I wouldn't want to mess up my DDs holiday either. It would just add to the feelings of guilt and responsibility. I expect your mum feels she wants to apologise to everyone for causing so much upset. It's not logical as it isn't her fault but I'm sure that's maybe how she feels. Go and relax on your holiday (even if it involves a few drinks;)) and then come back refreshed and ready to support your mum.

    Thankyou guys ! It s nice to get an outside perspective on things! And I think you all make really good points :A My mum would blame herself if i didnt go and I dont want that. My family are really close and honest - so if they didnt want me to go they would say ! No beating round the bush with my lot :p x

    Right back on topic ...

    What do we do when we fall? We get up, dust ourselves off and start walking in the right direction again. Perhaps when we fall, it is easy to forget there are people along the way who help us stand and walk with us as we get back on track.

  • Hello, I've finally plucked up the courage to post on this forum. I've made a fool of myself again, only worse than usual - my husband isn't talking to me. I'm scared and a bit needy today. I don't know what's going to happen and just want to cry. I need someone to tell me it's all going to be ok

    I wasn't AF last night and had 2 glasses of wine and then a cup of tea. It did occur to me that I wasn't that bothered about it really and maybe pop would have been better. Still having a think about a target for June.
