afternoon rose :hello: and everyone else

I'm still knackered. Woke up at 9.30 (!) this morning, haven't slept that long in ages. Went with OH to his other job chipping potatoes. Was a nice change to have a completely manual task to do and a tangible outcome (my word I seem to have swallowed a dictionary). In my job, there is no outcome, just slogging away day after day, and feeling very not appreciated. That's how I'm feeling today, which I shouldn't be since I'm not actually working this weekend.

How farr up north? aww was sweet to get flowers, have you got a favourite kind?

Strathpeffer is about 15ish miles north of Inverness, it used to be a spa town in Victorian times so its full of huge colonial style houses (most of which are now hotels). OH's cousin chefs in a restaurant there. And the flowers were just a bunch of flowers from the garden, some wild some not. I love flowers, but my absolute favorites are gerbera daises (none of those in the bunch though).

What is it you do?
All you can do is be there for her. Must be hard when you know she is being hurt to wonder what to do. Is there no way she can get away from him? If there are kids involved, does he harm the kids?

I run a sheltered housing scheme for a private company. That means I'm on call 24 hours a day for ten days at a stretch then get four days off. There are two of us, but OH is not allowed to drive so if I did have to hare through to her, he would have to stay here. She could get away from him, her friend over the road is going to contact the council tomorrow up where her parents live to start the process of finding a house for her and the kids up there. And no, he doesn't hurt the kids, but I'm worried what they are learning. They had a hard enough time when she was living with their dad. He had the wee boy that was with them at the time on his lap when they got back and was whispering in his ear. I can just imagine what he was telling him too. :mad:

I (and i know others) have been in abusive relationships, the best thing to do is get away from it. But when you love someone you dont want to see the bad things they do, you make excuses, and think its the way its meant to be, you get used to thier ways and you think its normal. But it isnt, and its not ok.
He will be trying to seperate her from her friends so she feels weaker, he will put her down, because he knows he can. Dont let him get in the way of your friendsip, its clear se needs help, but im unsure how or if she wants it. Can you talk to your friend more bout this?

I know someone will be along later today to explain better

That's what I'm worried about, she rarely rings us now, and then when we ring her, she makes excuses about her mobiles not working or whatever, when I know fine (now) that its him not letting her talk to anyone. He's very clingy, always touching and kissing her etc, I thought he was just being cute, now I know better and I'm raging about it now that I didn't realise sooner :mad: . She knows she needs to get away from him but I don't think she has the strength. Just makes me so mad that I can't actually do anything.

Hope you managed a good sleep last night rose, feeling any more positive today?

dawnylou, sf, andi and juno, hope things are looking brighter today, :grouphug: hows the ear juno? Earache is not funny,especially when it turns into a faceache, andi you have done something with your life, you've got two daughters. sf, good to hear you're feeling more positive now. Hope you had a good day at work
Dawny, good luck with your fiance's results, I'm sitting on my hankey for you and him
