Ive got a 34 year old son. His journey has been horrible, he began his University journey in his early 20s and he now has succeeded on getting his life course together with what he wants to do.

Ive had a difficult time with him 

and you supported me.

@Oaktree @Jynx @tyme @Meowmy  @Bill16 @TAB @Glisten others have supported me like @ENKELI @StuF 

I am grateful. And to see you also manage yourself is just lovely.

I got a carer back after some time. She’s come back after a 5 month break.

Over 20 years ago,…..I had a boyfriend who used to push me around. My Step Father, the man who was supposed to support me, knew him and he would tell me, stay with this person, he loves you. 
then behind my back he would laugh about me to my family.

Today, I had the most joy, telling this carer that though her boyfriend started up well for bout a month, she was in a dangerous position

not because he was pushing her around

he kept on asking for money and kept on living with his Mother. A 38 year old !!

i felt great that I could  reflect on a past experience and realise that I did not get the correct support. But I could let her know that this behaviour is not loving.

They put a stent in for her heart aorta @tyme , she is a very strong person like my mum was 

I have the chairs on the verandah and we have the old Queensland pushout windows 

I have the other 2 seater downstairs,  I want to get them covered too but someone wants to throw them out

Thanks @Gremlin24 , going to visit her tomorrow xx

@Shaz51  Beautiful colour on chairs…..cool !

@PeppyPatti it's so good to hear that your son is getting his life together with what he wants to do and you have done so well supporting him. 

I'm glad I've been able to help and you have helped me aswell. 

That's awesome that you got your carer back. I'm sorry to hear what you went through, it's horrible that you didn't get the support you needed. But to be able to see a dangerous situation in someone else's life just shows how far you have come and the strength you have now. 

Super proud of you ♥️ 

[PeppyPatti]

Yeah @Shaz51 

thank you. It makes you feel, being here online there are many people who just need a little bit of reassurance.

Hey @PeppyPatti , I was going to ask, how is the other support worker going? The one who was helping without being paid? Has that been 'sorted'? 

Hope you are okay.

[PeppyPatti]

Yes. Thanks @tyme 

Thankyou for asking. I though you may have forgotten because your work is full-on. 

Sorry if I'm repeating anything. 

My mother in law and husband were freaking out about her. Well I was feeling extremely uncomfortable seeing her and I cancelled her. She was still calling me and texting me ! 

Then I was told what she was saying about me to mother in law and husband

" how do you feel iv got more power over ........than you do ? " 

I asked them if they wanted me to have a big break from her or sack her ---- they said sack. So I did. 

Almost immediately I'm getting texts from her. My G...., it didn't STOP. So I assured her it's because Im just only wanting drawing lessons moving forward. This went on for 2-3 weeks. 

I ended up telling my support co-ordinator what happened.

I cannot believe this. I'm vulnerable. Yet high functioning. 

[tyme]

Awwww @PeppyPatti ,

I'm so sorry you were caught up in all of this. 

It sounds like she really needs a bit of support herself. I'm guessing this may have rattled you a fair bit.

I honestly hope you are okay, and I also hope she is okay. That.. 'obsession' is not very 'normal'?

Please don't blame yourself. And of course I haven't forgotten. I've been concerned about you but I didn't want to say anything in case something had happened. But when you spoke about your 'carer' being back after 5 weeks, I thought I'd ask.

Hugs.

@PeppyPatti some men want a nurse with full purse 👛 Plenty of cash for them to splash 💦 

Basically a substitute mother, who will give him everything he wants.

A blackhole that will drain the life out of you and your money 💴 💵 💰
