    Had a better evening, sat outside with my OH in the evening sunshine which was nice.

    Watched TV when it got dark but he seemed withdrawn again, which upsets me.

    I had another word with him about what was bugging me earlier today. I wonder if it is not just the adjusting to the new house but having him at home all day plus having our son around but living his own life.

    I am not excusing what he did last Sunday and I have been very low since. I am so upset he has ruined this move and still getting my head around the best course of action but why did he do it?:(

    I read another thread on another forum about someone who had a horrible boyfriend and it did make me feel I had a similar issue. I feel hassled when I feel tired and his withdrawal when I feel happy and sharing - I feel wrong and it isn't right to feel this way.
    An average day in my life:hello: :eek::mad: :coffee::coffee::coffee::T :o :rotfl: :rotfl: :p :eek::mad: :beer:

    morning all, feel so tired didn't sleep well, plus other son's problems on my mind. in fact both sons have a lot of problems, and i dont know how to help them any more, perhaps its a teenage thing, that they dont open up to me as they used to?
    hope everyone else is ok
    big hugs

    My mum talked to me about this the other day. I never used to get along with my mum, I used to be so much more a daddy's girl. Then, when I came to uni, my parents split up and now I tell my mum everything, and we truly are the best of friends now. But she said to me when I was about 14, until when i was 18 and they split up, I never said anything to either of them, and it was just like I didn't want them to know.
    So, I think it is a teenage thing, as you change so rapidly, and there are things at school etc. Never think its you as a person, beause its not most of the time. I now cringe when I think of some of the things I've said to my parents, and the way I've acted, but its all par for growing up. Sending big (((HUGS))) your way xxx

    :hello: Everyone,

    Hope all is well,I too couldnt open up to my parents for a while and they knew things were bugging me and I couldnt say for fear of what their reaction would be to a certain situation,its only in the last few years I am now more able to tell them everything and they listen and dont judge me,When I was unwell on Friday I had to tell them over the phone I didnt feel too good and they supported me with that and are proud of me for the way I handled things on my own without help.

    Today I am off to my parents for dinner and its Roast Beef with Yorkshire pudding :) Mum gave us two choices of dinner and dad whispered to me across the room for a Roast Beef dinner :rotfl: so that is what I choose :)

    *hugs* to those that need one


    love and light,

    Katie xxx

    :hello: everyone.
    Have only just got up :o :rolleyes: I've got out of the cycle of going to bed early and getting up early, so now I'm not going to bed til gone 2am, and so of course I'm not getting up til late! I need to get out of that really, but never mind.
    Feeling a bit down today, got a bad headache and I need to do lots of revision today - its my first exam on tuesday and I'm absolutely dreading it. Its the hardest one I have, 2 hours long, and its going to be a nightmare. I need to get a good mark, but now I'm thinking I won't. Argh.
    (((HUGS))) to those that want/need one.
