@Mustang67 it's one of those situations where unless you've been in it, it's hard for others to understand. Looking back you can see the behaviours that weren't so good but there's still that love there. That's the thing when we were young and naive we didn't know any better but we learn from our mistakes and even as we are older we still make mistakes and continue to learn.
I hear you there, I'll never be the person I used to be. Sometimes it hurts cos I miss that person but then there's parts that I don't miss. Everything we've been through has brought us to where we are now and made us who we are today. You are amazing and strong and despite everything you've been through you're still here and still fighting ❤️

@Dreamy I do seem to be able to keep dragging myself back up. And the only reason I do that, is because of my daughter. If I didn't have her, I know for a fact that I wouldn't be here.

@Jynx @Dreamy @Blackcloud @Former-Member @Bunniekins
It took me 50 years to realise that I deserve better. I have now put boundaries in place and I am not as much of a people pleaser as I used to be.

Hey @Bunniekins, just so you know that we are aware of the suppport button not working in some cases for Members and we are working on it. Sometimes when you refresh your screen it works then so maybe give that a go. Thanks RiverSeal ❤️

@tyme Thank you. Today hasn't been a bad one. I just happened to be reading a book where somebody died and they were describing the gut wrenching pain of the loss. And since it is the 23rd anniversary of the events that led to my partner's death, I was feeling that pain all over again.
I am reading a different book now, trying to keep my mind busy on something else. Otherwise I will start going over the events that started on grand final day.
And posting on here has been helping as well 😊
