Do appreciate that HB .

I am dithering between another glass of wine and bed.

Wine? Bed? Wine? Bed?

Quattrocento · 05/07/2008 00:34

Wine won. I am dignifying my choice with a piece of cheese and the thought that I forgot to have dinner.

humanbean · 05/07/2008 00:44

I have eaten three of ds's muller star yoghurt things. After the beans.

My diet has improved beyond measure since I was dropped off in the gutter and I have lost a stone!

Yay. No more king-size prawn stir fries with oyster sauce. Yay!
No more home-made gnocchi with home-made pesto. Yay!
No more griddled organic chicken with cashew nuts in walnut oil with fig salad. Yay!

No one to show new
slim-line-baby-yoghurts-and-ADs-for-afters me to.

Ok ok..there is a reflection in the French doors..but she looks mad. Maybe if I turn away she will disappear...

You will be fending off all those men-things with a stick soon. Mordant is good, I think.

copingvquietly · 05/07/2008 00:47

humanbean my boy is 7months aswell.hope you will be ok tonight x

humanbean · 05/07/2008 00:59

Lovely word. Mordant. Good name for a French baby? maybe it should be Maudant?

Don't fret copinvshhh (sure you're not) I am ok....am in the kitchen, enduring the silence, drinking rubbish white wine and going to brush gnashing teeth again any minute.

Still alive.

Ds reassuringly asleep upstairs. Going to Asda tomorrow. Then to get passport form sent off at post office for ds - in case I find the courage to take him away with me this summer. Doubt it. But, have passport will travel = the kind of mentality that has helped me in the past. Of course it's a bit different now having a baby [hmm}

But if they're wrapped up tightly and sealed with packing tape, can't they go in the hold?

off to bed now HB, can't avoid myself any longer. Sleep well old thing. Lovely idea to take DS away.

SueMe · 06/07/2008 06:55

Hi Humanbean
Hope you got some sleep, and Mr Bean is not waking you too early!

Time is the only thing that is going to help you, and we can't stop time. You WILL get better. Trust me.

Try to get to ASDA, you will feel proud of yourself tonight if you do. Try to buy yourself small favourite treats, little ready made snacks that you will eat, you may be more likely to eat them than doing a full dinner.

Well done, your one day closer to getting better!

Humanbean: sometimes music helps. If you fine I will Survive too much of a cliche then This is a phenomenal up-yours to an ex partner:
'Yes I do feel better
Yes I do I feel allright
I feel strong enough to tell you what
You can do with what you've got to offer...'

ProfessorGrammaticus · 06/07/2008 20:55

You can take a baby away if you want to - it's not too hard, it's just that you haven't done it yet. Take it all one step at a time, HB, you'll get there.

Take care

By the police? Or by Social services?

greenelizabeth · 06/07/2008 21:53

There are millions of us here on this board, so don't go away. Even if it seems like everybody in RL is happily married, it can't be so, because there are loads of single mn-ers.

It does get better honestly.

greenelizabeth · 06/07/2008 21:59

Also, as well as music I found reading really gruesome books like kathy reichs helpful. Romance made me want to vomit. Murders I took in my stride.

humanbean · 06/07/2008 22:39

Not sure. He is under a 72 hour police protection order. What is that? The hospital doctors said I could take him home if my friend arrived in time...which she won't. So why do they have to keep my baby?

I fucking hate this country and as soon as I get him home I am moving. No point in having an education here because it just makes them hate you.

Hope I get ds back tomorrow.

What? WHAT? Oh gosh HB you must be distraught. I'm so sorry.

Hope you get your DS home soon - oh gosh this is awful. Sending you strength.

Quattrocento · 06/07/2008 22:51

HB if you want to talk or need any help at all please feel absolutely free to mail me on [email protected].

greenelizabeth · 06/07/2008 22:53

oh no! poor you. The police took your baby? WHY ON EARTH????

Stay strong.

humanbean · 06/07/2008 22:55

They cuffed me! It's bloody amazing I am still standing in this rotten country let alone that they can take my baby off me.

See? You were all wrong. They can take a baby off you quite easily. Shame they can't arrest and cuff a husband for abandonment and shagging whores though. Oh well. Good old gordon brown and his family values...let's send four cop cars and some paramedics round to arrest (ultimately) THAT KNACKERED, TIRED, EXHAUSTED, CLEVER, BEAUTIFIUL-NOTHING abandoned chick. Hurrah!

That's sumink to do on a sunday night. Their shift ended at ten o clock and they couldn't wait. Never mind that they have screwed up a life in the process. I never ever behaved so badly in 20 years of being a journlaist.

Oh and good luck, whoring shagging pig of a husband and your sick sick sick family.

Night night ds. large kisses all over you
