Re: How to accept help after a life of helping others
Hi @Sahara Good to see you. Glad that a lot of things are going well.
Funny that about some men.
I am still working out which is my circus and my monkeys.

Re: How to accept help after a life of helping others
Oh @Shaz51, thankyou so much for your concern my sweet. It's nice to log on and find you here. I'm ok; had a few interesting moments with gaslighting. I'll be writing about it on relevant thread. Really nice of you to drop by, hope you're traveling well and in fine spirits...xo
Thankyou too @Appleblossom for your well wishes, supports and comments. I'm glad you got something out of it.
My table dancing days were when Dirty Dancing hit the scene. Personally, I think every woman should try it at least once in their lifetime. Even if the table's a few inches off the floor! You go girl! xo
@Sahara Well hi there stranger! Lovely to see your avatar; I was wondering if you were ever coming back. I do understand though as I take breaks myself.
You gave it to your ex good and proper! I love it! It's good to see you back, even if it's just to tell that amazing anecdote.
What a great life you've created for yourself! You've done the hard yards, stopped sympathising to your detriment and have claimed your life as your own. How wonderful!
So now I'm all kinds of Green with envy hun. And so happy for you too...xo
Hope

Re: How to accept help after a life of helping others
Hi @Shaz51 @Appleblossom @Zoe7 @Sahara
Haven't been around the last few days; mum had a heart attack so time's been spent dealing with her. I'm exhausted and totally drained emotionally. Lot's of triggers and contact with family. Not all as I'd like, but that's life I'm afraid.
Whew; it was good just to write that. My son accused me of feeling sorry for myself instead of thinking about his Nan who he's really close to. It hurt...
I did my best even though at times it was awefully hard. Mum can be cruel and nasty with her comments to me; I was in tears quite a few times. Eventually I told her how hurtful it was to be on the receiving end of her frustration. She sort of calmed after that.
Anyway, I mightn't be on board as much as I'd like for a while. Take care everyone...
Love Hope xo

@Hope4me Thinking of you.
Sounds like a very difficult time and there are probably many competing feelings to work through. Children often only see a small part of the picture and do not understand tho they think they do.
Look after you Honey bee.
