Hi Shaz-dont feel able yo say much as i have only just"met" you if you know what i mean?!But i have had to let go of someone who was no good for me [and if they are no good for you they cant be good for the kids].Still painful though isnt it-and any change is scary especially when not feeling at your strongest.Look after yourself and i will be thinking of you and your family.Sophx

Thanks Rose, I wish I could ring him but hes not allowed to use his phone, so if he even gets caught texting hes in trouble. I just send him things I know will make him laugh, because I know it'll take his mind off it. :rotfl: I can relate to the hugging the phone though-I'm going to give it a try next time he rings!
Xx

aww its sweet

LOL its always good to make people laugh, i seem to have a natural talent for that :rotfl:. yeah keep textin him, communication is key,

thanks rose the pic of a hug made me smile.
both sons have severe ADHD and conduct disorder, as well as oppositional defiant disorder, they are very immature, and behind their peers emotionally, but they are good lads, and i know all mum's say that, but the staff at the school's say the same too, they never cause trouble, they just wanna please, but they often end up bullied for it by other lads within their schools

aww you can have more hugs







must be hard at times with your sons, but as you say there good kids, all kids are, some just need some persuadin. I have numerous disabilities, but i guess its how you deal with it. You are a strong thing, we all are here. its a shame they get bullied, but as we know bullies always pick on the vulnerable, just shows how stupid they are,

I'm alright. Having a few 'alright' days, which is quite nice. Still rather up and down, but I'm sure that'll settle eventually.

I'm a bit nervous tonight, as I'm going with a friend to a rehabilitation centre tomorrow, to give a talk on Alcoholics Anonymous. I don't have to do much as its my first time, just give a bit of information about me and then answer a few questions on AA. Its nice that I was asked, but a bit scary!

Its been a while, I'm still not that great at keeping in touch. You do need to keep an eye on your PM's - your box was full last time I tried!

thats good hun

the talk will do you good, hopefully give you some more confidence too. i remember standin up and speakin out about my depression for the first time, that was hard, even tho it was only a handful of people, its still hard to try and talk.

Ohh arent i popular? :rotfl::rotfl:, lol, only jokin, there should be space now, if ya need to talk

take care

shazrobo

thanks for listening to me vent tonight, i really appreciate it. going to bed in a min cos i know the boys dont yet appreciate a lie in, still no school tommorrow, inset day, so we can lounge around in our pj's and take it easy.
love you all, big hugs to everyone

A PJ day sounds lovely Shaz.

I think I'm off to bed too. OH is at the pub, so I want to be firmly asleep when he gets in. I'm not too fond of drunk people - they've lost their charm since I stopped drinking!

Rose - I'll send you a PM when I get the chance. Its weird to have gone from doing nothing to doing so much. I'm secretary at one AA meeting, and attend 2-4 more meetings each week. I'm now doing this talk at the Rehab Centre. I've also made a couple of friends which is pretty weird. I'm going Christmas Shopping with someone soon!

I talk a bit at some of the AA meetings, and I chat to people before/after and I call a couple of people during the week. I'm just nervous because I've never been here, and I've got to answer questions about AA - the program, the organisation, meetings etc. It'll only be a small group of people though.
