You wouldn't like to sit in my house and wait for my sofas would you?

JanH · 23/11/2004 14:07

ladymuck, as anorak says it is such a relief to know you can do this!

ladymuck · 23/11/2004 14:13

Soupy - only if my ds's can smear vaseline over your walls...

SoupDragon · 23/11/2004 14:21

Nothing that hasn't been done before

essbee, sorry I missed you, have news re the EWO you have to see. This evening I bumped into an "old parent" from primary school (IYSWIM!) who is a social worker, and what she does now is work as an EWO, going into schools to help with behavioural issues - nothing to do with attendance. I had a feeling it might be that when you first mentioned it, but when I googled all I found was attendance stuff, so I was thrilled to talk to her, I hope it means that there is going to be some support in school for DS. (You may know this already of course but it hadn't come up on here.)

Glad you were well enough to get up, sorry h is being a pita , obviously you got ill on purpose to annoy him

Take care, talk soon XXX

anorak · 24/11/2004 00:00

Don't know what a pita is but I don't like the sound of it!

Bs to them all, essbee, you are ill, lie in bed and wait to feel better like anyone else would do. I know you think of yourself differently -like some kind of superbeing that has to rise above illness.

You are just as entitled to feel ill as the next person. I know xh has a lot on his mind at the moment but it isn't possible for you to suddenly become a superhuman being because of that.

He did what??????!!!!!!!!! Get him out of your life for good, you will be in shit again soon when he does something else and messes up your entire life. YOU HAVE TO BREAK THIS CYCLE. I can't read this thread anymore its driving me insane.

essbee - you really REALLY have to stop being there for him, or even having him in your life - you've got someone far more important to worry about - YOU!!! Yes, he's having a hard time with his mum but he's still a little sh*t - please don't let him do this to you all over again.

JJ · 24/11/2004 08:46

OMG, I'm glad you're doing a bit better. Don't know how I missed all this. Rest and eat well today if you can.

MilkyWay · 24/11/2004 09:13

essbee, I didn't take my mobile to Leeds, so have only just picked up your voicemail from yesterday...sorry.

Hope you're feeling a little better this morning. Agree with wk and ff, don't let your ah start playing on the fact that you are feeling vulnerable. Will try and call you later today.

Milkyway xx

oh no. at least he's not being a subtle arse this time - but a selfish pig - can't believe the nerve of the man - one the one hand yelling at you/trying to get you up out of bed and doing stuff around the house and on the other hand trying to seduce you. whatever he does to get your sympathy the only thing he really cares about is him and what's best for him.

get as much rest as possible and you'll just to shut yourself off from him and his mind games.

JanH · 24/11/2004 11:45

Oh, ar$e from me too, am seething

oh ar$e ar$e and superar$e. how terribly convenient for him to live in a world where using innocent people as a punchbag is fine, whilst being depressed makes you an unfit parent FFS. don't think about "dealing with him" at the moment - just think about getting yourself better and keeping him out of the house as much as possible. at least you realise that he is a manipulative pig, rather than just seeing the need to provide him with sympathy. you really don't sound at all ready for work tomorrow.

iota · 24/11/2004 14:47

my sympathy essbee. Being ill is cr*p isn't it? Makes everything seem much harder to deal with.
I'm currently recovering from tonsillitis - and can't believe how wiped out I am.

Your ah is suuuuuuuuuuch a pain. Pity you can't cure him with antibiotics

JanH · 24/11/2004 14:53

He's doing it now because your defences are down - get them back up again quick - don't let him try to start controlling again. You are not an unfit parent (he, on the other hand...) and you really really need to get him at bargepole distance again ASAP!

I'd think it's natural to want to offer support in that situation. It's a horrible thing for anyone to have to go through.

Don't drive if you're feeling too weak! Argh! It's too dangerous -- really.

Hope you start feeling better soon.
