    Glad your stable FG, just now. Everyone is scared of change, but I think when you're unhappy in your present situation, and you know what you want, you have nothing to lose in going for it. That's just my opinion, life's too short!

    Aww Shaz, sorry you had a terrible day. Please don't drink too much, just have a couple to relax, which you need to do after today. Alcohol just makes me more depressed and I feel worse after it. It took me years to learn that, so I try to keep away from it as much as possible.

    There is no way your a crap Mum, you've not got an easy life and you do really great getting through each 'trying' day. Don't be ashamed, you do your best. No one is wonder woman, and no one can stop a stroppy teenager when they go off on one (mental health probs or not) You are home now and need to put it behind you. Try to relax now, please.

    promise i wont drink too much, i learned earlier this year that alcohol is a depressant, and as a result cut down drastically to the point of almost giving it up, but on days like today, well no excuse really except i need it lol.
    thanks for kind words, i do best i can as a mum, always putting boys needs before my own needs with no support, but days like today just feel that i failed
    hugs

    enjoy life, we only get one chance at it:)

    stable is good feelie, change is difficult, but if its what you really want then i would say go for it, otherwise you would spend rest of your life wondering what if

    Thanks Shaz, just don't want you feeling any worse. But I do think a few to relax after the trauma today is needed. Just you take care.

    She's not on at the moment, Alba. Can't call her as a)As I'm feeling not myself using the phone is difficult. It's difficult at the best of times.lol. and b)We've never met.lol. so it would feel a bit weird phoning her.lol.

    Karl isn't online either. =/Out of my 247 contacts they're the only ones I want to talk to.lol. Oh and Katie but she's not online atm.

    Heya Katie.

    I woke up in tears because I had a dream about my foster parents and them saying they didn't love me etc and I couldn't deal with the hurt. :( so I hurt myself and now I feel so stupid and ashamed. :(

    I hope you have a nice time with your parents.

    xx


    I had a good time at my parents thanks,Dreams are awful things and as CCstar has said it does affect you as you think it is real.

    *hugs* to you and CCstar

    hope you are ok CCstar and enjoying the weekend

    Katie
