For those not having a good time of it today....

[scooterbear]

Just wanted to send a thought and some love to those not having a good time of it today. We certainly fall into that category this year. I broke my arm a week ago. DP doesnt have his children for the second year in a row. And devastatingly dd2 got attacked on Thursday night by a man-she is alive and safe but we have spent the last two days in hospital, with the police, having various awful examinations for her to go through, trying to piece together what happened. I woke up this morning wondering how to even get through today-and it occurred to me that there must be lots of people feeling desolate for various reasons, for whom today is going to be testing.

Lots of love to anyone in a similar boat x

I am sorry you are up against it this year OP.
Your poor DD, that sounds awful for you all. I think you need a day of just doing what you want when you want & looking after each other.

Thanks. I needed some kind thoughts.
My xmas is pretty shut.
I hope yours improves. You will have to have a belated xmas soon

Shit. Not shut.
I know I don't usually swear...

My thoughts to everyone struggling today. I hope it gets better.

How are you doing OP? Nothing worse than seeing your child suffer like that. Things have gone pretty off-road over here. Lot of medical stuff (already), called ambulance for dh this morning while opening
presents. Just one minute at a time.

My mum is intensive care after three ops in 6 days after a burst aneurysm last Friday. My dad is terminally Ill with copd and cancer at their house on oxygen full time. He would not / could not come to me today and did not want a fuss so I have spent all day popping back and forward between the two. I am also getting a cold meaning I’ll have to stay away from him. I am his only support. Praying my mum is soon off the ventilator and showing signs of improvement. Shitty shitty Christmas. Thinking of anyone else in a similar shitty boat today.

That’s kind of you to think of others when you are really suffering. for all of you.

Thinking of you all and hoping for good times for all of you very soon 💗

I really needed this thanks OP, it was a rough day today, I think it’ll be worse tomorrow. At least everyone is asleep now so I can just get some time alone to gather myself. Hugs to everyone else not having the best time.
