Unescorted the words ‘dig divots’ and ‘eyes’ should not belong in the same paragraph. Eek. I’m glad they are not being gung ho about it, fingers crossed it does resolve and you don’t have a horribly anxious time waiting to see.
Laska you are a brilliant mum. Coping with adult life is, imho, a lot about confidence and resilience. As parents we can help to foster those skills in our DC but we don’t get to completely mould our children; for good or ill they have their own very definite characters and other significant influences shaping them. All you can really do is be 100% behind them and give them the security of your love and support. Which you do brilliantly.
Also, I’ve thought this before - if I were your DGS’s mum I would be so chuffed at the relationship you have with DGS. In any circumstances but especially as she and your DS are not together. Your DGS doesn’t know any different but one day he will realise how lucky he’s been. And you will always be very special to him. With my dad having so little time left I have been thinking a lot about the legacy we leave our families and really the only thing that matters is love and quality time together. Especially 1:1 time, just simple things like meals or days out together with space to talk. You give that time and attention to your DS and DGS and that’s the most valuable thing you can do.
Anyway, I’ll stop now before I set myself off!
Am in a mood with DH. Won’t bore you all with the details but it’s very frosty here. Unusual for us as we don’t argue much. I think my reaction is probably a little disproportionate but I am feeling generally cheesed off and rather unappreciated. 10 months of having my sleep interrupted (and significantly reduced) at least 6 nights out of 7 will do that to a woman. I now have approx 2 hours’ worth of laundry sorting /folding to do and I was looking forward to watching a bit of Netflix on my iPad while I did it. But DH is watching football on said iPad
