Not sure why @Appleblossom it's just a bubble bath with candles 😃
Yes I like that food for thought ✔️

Please excuse my sudden arrival and interruption all on here..
I have nothing of any worth to say...
encouragement feels lame at the moment..
words of wisdom...
what are they?
all of the above aside......
I am still not able to be a part of the forum and live my life with all that is occurring with myself and other family members..
This does not diminish in anyway your situations..
I probably should have pulled back from here earlier in hindsight..'
Knowing when to take time out is phew a joke..
when in the midst of whatever and everything...where is the energy...mindframe to make a decision...oh I need time out...
So I say hand on heart I have missed you...am definitely despondent in not being around to support you..
Nothing has improved my end..
Not even my health really...A rollercoaster..
This time I am taking notice..
Others in family are definitely making it clear...
Words of wisdom...none...
words of anything...none..
mind is pretty numb at the moment..
I still am a person who feels deeply...
have tears.. good thing...
Whatever you are all experiencing and doing your best to deal with...I support you wholeheartedly and believe in each of you having the strength to continue through life challenges ...
I am with you all of the way in silence yes..
Often in my mind...silence has far more power...affect...support definitely'
love you and miss you
Sophia

Hello dear @Appleblossom
I have no idea where your situation currently stands.
I know that there were struggles with your son and am hoping they have been resolved.
If not...I hope that there is strong support for all of you.
So vital...yet often needed to be requested..
I think that your situation had improved when I was last on forums possibly 3 weeks ago..not sure.
I do hope still stable and coping..
My family member..now unmedicated for several months has more vital information to provide me when ringing where calls last for over an hour or can be cancelled within seconds...all dependent on mindset..'
I have grave concerns..
I cannot ring him.. no caller ID
I feel very strongly for your situation ..
I feel for your son going through such trauma..
I also feel equally for you and your safety greenpea...
there is a very fine line to a mother's strong love and a mother knowing when..
please please take care of all of you and particularly you greenpea..
even if you ring and ask questions anonymously...

Of course I understand. So lovely just to see you ...
with or without words.
They can be inadequate at times, but we also try and read between the lines.
Drop in on this thread any time you are up to posting.
Yes @Anastasia and @Bunniekins and I also share the journey of managing our feelings and lives with adult sons struggling with serious mental health issues.
We had pizza and icecream. Discussion with his good counsellor brought out that he was doing trauma work in this last flare up.
There is no simple one size fits all ...
Even among us four, our sons have different "presentations", but we, the mums have to negotiate tricky waters.
It has been a very difficult few months.
Sorry your health is still bad Sophia.
Sorry your boy is still struggling and just venting in your direction.
Take good care of you.
Apple
