Re: I can’t cope

Re: I can’t cope
Well I guess a slow start is good. I don't know why, but I'm so curious to be a fly on your wall. I honestly find it pretty cool that you still go on holz with your parents. I can't get this out of my head. It's 'sweet', even though I know it is so so hard and potentially triggering for you.
I'm really curious to know what draws them to want to do this so regularly with their adult children @Captain24 .
I'm just thinking out aloud. You don't have to answer at all.

Re: I can’t cope
You made me smile @tyme
It sounds cool I guess. But for me it’s an obligation. People wonder why I would go with them. Can’t you do anything without our parents? You know I always listen to what is said.
I feel like they want to show that we are a tight family. Well I guess that’s what they think anyway. They have no idea as to what goes on in my head and how I feel.
From the outside I can see that it’s interesting. My parents thoughts about it and mine defer remarkably!

Re: I can’t cope
Hey @Captain24 , We actually posted at the same time. Hence your post and my post 'appeared' at the same time 🙂
Yes, about your parents, it's just so interesting. Even if they wanted to 'show' you are a tight knit family, who is it to show to? Do they have may outsiders they talk to?

Re: I can’t cope
Mum talks to a lot of people when she walks the dogs. @tyme Plus she has a few people that she associates with, whether in town or on zoom. She tells them all everything. Most of them know I had Covid. She likes to make herself look as though she is a much better person than she is.
I don’t think I explained that very well!
How are the swimming lessons going?

Re: I can’t cope
The little on has only had one swimming lesson @Captain24 and she loved it.
I had a time in the pool with the two older ones today. It was soooo soooo lovely in the pool. When the little one came home I said she can come in only if she wore a floaty. She refused so she wasn't allowed in. She screamed the place down.
She's sooo stubborn!
The sunset looks so awesome! Enjoy it while you can.
I'll check-in with you tomorrow.

Re: I can’t cope
They have started on each other. @tyme
I did get my own space this after to go to the beach. It was so nice.
