    You and yours have been in my mind all day Mooloo.I hope someone listens and understands the amount of harassment ds and his family are being subjected to on a daily basis.
    She's doing it to him but the knock on effect impacts on those who love and care about him and the little ones.


    There is nothing that suggests a caring parent in her actions it's just all about her. If she were my one of my dds she'd have had a tongue lashing from me a long time ago and told to sort herself out. If it's mh someone needed to get her help a long time ago by the sound of it .


    Once today is over he needs to apply for the non molestation order asap. It's impossible to live normally with that amount of pressure . I'm not very savvy about phones but can he set up another no alongside his existing one and change his existing no too give her the spare no and tell everyone not to give out his new no to anyone?


    At least he can stick to only responding when it involves contact arrangements and ignore anything else.


    I was in the garden just after 4 this morning listening to the resident robin staring the morning chorus as the sun rose . Sometimes nature is a positive when times are troubled so I hope at some point this week you find a quiet time yourself .


    I feel a lot better today apart from sore ribs after all the coughing . Thank you to everyone for your kind words.

    Glad you're feeling a little better Polly... getting sopping wet on a wasted journey won't have helped:mad:
    I Believe.....
    That it isn't always enough, to be forgiven by others.
    Sometimes, you have to learn to forgive yourself.

    Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery
    Today is a gift. That's why it is called the present.

    happiness isn't achieved by getting extra things,
    but by getting rid of the things that make you unhappy

    Feel we were just going round in circles ticking boxes (or not), but we will have a new SW soon, and a new line manager for them. Certainly interesting on some of the items raised, and concerns about both parents and their skills. There has been one incident that I better not talk about , but it basically backfired on the GF she lost her temper then.
    But I think that it's all a mess and I still think the contact split is wrong.
    Time will tell.
    I am exhausted and have come to have a nap. I may or may not get up later. But if I am awake in the early morning I may just go sit in the garden with my thoughts .
    When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.

    I slept until about 9pm had a phone call, went back to bed woke about 3am was awake about an hour ( not surprisingly), but went back to sleep until 6am
    Dgd has a friend from school calling for her, yesterday and this morning to walk to school with her, which is good.
    DS has appointment in town today.
    I am doing my hair dye now before I launch into the rest of the day. I have babysitting duties for Biggest this afternoon as usual, but have not made plans exactly with mum. I am taking Friday afternoon off to go to the hairdresser for both Mum and myself for a haircut. So I am closing the shop an hour early.
    I have to go in to try and sort out the embroidery that we didn't get done last Friday.
    But I am not rushing around like a mad thing.
    Two loads of washing on the line, another spinning will be ready soon.
    When my hair is finished I will call Mum and decide on my plan of action.
    I have done my referral form to Changing Minds.

    I am feeling strange. Not stressed exactly, but anxious one moment and can't be bothered the next. I suppose part of me is feeling a little spaced out. I presume that is the medicine.
    I will try taking it at night in future as I still need eed to function.
    I did go down to work, but wasn't having much joy so I went home again, had a salad, and have come over to my Mums before I go to babysit for Biggest.
    I would much rather just go back home, sit in the sun until it fades and go to bed.

    Mooloo, it could be the meds making you feel 'spaced out' but it could also be plain old exhaustion! Either way, try not to push yourself too hard (haha) and use everything you have in your toolbox to keep yourself sane (((hugs))).

    Pollyanna, I'm glad you are feeling somewhat better.

    I am struggling to function so think it will be the new medication. Tomorrow I will wait until the evening to take it. Didn't feel right this afternoon so got DS to babysit for Biggest for me.
    Dgd seems to be happy with her SATS so far. Although obviously she has a scribe to help her.
    I am going to bed.dS and Dgd are playing on the Xbox. He will make sure she gets to bed at a decent time.
    My other jobs are going to have to wait until tomorrow.

    I dont think the tablets would kick in so quickly.
    Hope you get a good sleep.

    You often get the side effects before the beneficial effects!
