I'm so sorry you went through all that and still going through a hard time. ❤

That is a lot of really shitty things to happen to one person. I am in awe of your strength though, to have survived all that, and still be able to care for your grandchildren (and still be able to smile about it all, a bit?). You're strong, you're a survivor.

I know people gp through stuff over their life time I wounder what classed as average and what's classed as that's a bit much . Sorry not worded well. Plus there's no answer. My grandchildren don't live with me as the PLO was lifted in the end was an awful time though was so scared of loosing him. Things are better with that side of things though..

Yeah there's happy times to they are needed. Would go insane without the good bits and my kids

Solidarity 😉 lots of us have a story to tell and you're still here to tell the tale. I've come to the conclusion that some people glide through life with barely a ripple.of trauma and some of us live in a permanent shit show and no matter how hard I try I can't get out of the latter. It's all to do with the 'path' your childhood experiences put you on, I think, but I'm not articulate enough to be able to explain what I mean by that well enough for people to get it! It's crap and I get you 😉

But surely it has to end some time 🫠 well how ever theses pathways were decided they need looking at . Give someone else some shit for a change. ( Not that I really wish shit on someone)😅
