You were trying to be kind to your mum, you know the motive behind that. God knows the motive behind that.

the appointment at the park could have come after a ds appointment, or was a play date... something important to your child. still an appointment and likely to have been prebooked. these are perfectly rational explanations for the scenaio that your dad has picked you up on.

I bet you askedyour mum nicely to stop critising your parenting...especially re smacking... as she did not listen, then most people would understand that there would be consequences which would include seeing her less. having your parent undermine yourr own parenting is not at all helpful.

take care of yourself.

have you spoken to the person in charge or the district supervisor?

(sorry x post, you definitely weren't there when I started typing.)

how are you? lungs eased a bit?

Fb is the route of all evil Time to post less on there I think.

MHD that sounds horrid

going to try school today. she is a lot brighter...

how are you tea?

Tacp, I thought my mother was bad but your father beats her hands down! What a ghastly email - it made me feel small and it wasn't my dad writing it (not that my dad would).

If you want to stay on fb I'd suggest suspending your account for a month and defroending them just before you do that. Then they can't search you, and put your privacy settings so high they can never search you again when you reactivate! Oh, and add me if you want!!
I know what it's like having an unreasonable parent accusing you of all sorts of crap, cos my mother did that. I ended up going no contact (I'm lucky in that she and dad have been separated since I was 12 and I always stayed with dad (she didn't want us even then) so I can be in touch with my utter hero of a dad but I haven't spoken to my mother in 7 years now. I'm sad she's never tried - she has 3 totally amazing grandchildren she will probably never know - but also relieved.

Sorry! This wasn't meant to be All About Me!

I'd think about contacting the police now though if you are getting abusive and threatening texts. I know that's not an easy choice either, but you need to protect yourself. Praying for you!!

Praying for you all really - sat in hospital from 9.15 - 4.00 yesterday (trouble with my veins!) and then again today. So loads of time for prayer and as I have my phone I can check MN for updates!

Please pray my cannula is still working when I get back this morning (been bandaged up all night) and that I can get through my treatment fast today and home before the end of school. And that the lady in the next bed would be quiet! She talked nonstop yesterday and it was really getting me down by the time I left - very little headspace!!

I'm ok. Sadly everyone in my family normalises my dads behaviour and enables it. They all just except you need to tread warily. He won't apologise and if I want to resolve things I will need to apologise and accept all blame. So right now I feel rather lost. Weegie you can find me through MHD, Oma or Mary as I'm friends with them all on fb. Pm me if you want my real name. But I've restricted my parents access to my fb but the truth is I think I need to simply stop posting on fb for now. I have used fb since 2007 it has been a lifeline since I became a sahm but I think it's time to stop.

TACP praying that you have peace this morning.

Weegie prayers for you today. Is the same lady next to you today?

DH and I have just spent a depressing 2 hours going through our finances for the next 2 years. Oh help!!! We need to fully rely on God for this. There is a huge gap between expected outgoings and expected incomings. Only God can cross that gap. Please pray we have a peace about this. We KNOW with 100% certainty this is what God wants us to do, so we also KNOW that He will provide for us to make it happen. Is it exciting or scary????
Someone asked up thread if we were moving.....sorry haven't got time now to scroll and name you.....we are moving to Cambodia. - not quite just round the corner

reading, praying lot of different needs/situations..God with each of us where we are

I hope the quietness on here today means everyone is having a good day!

Just want to say that I have sent out our first newsletter and if anyone on here would like one to see what we are going to be up to etc please message me your email address and i will send one to you. Thank you.

Seeing mum tomorrow now. Just her. We'll need to talk through things a lot. So I'll need a lot of prayer. It seems I'm the scape goat for the fact that none of her 4 DIL's, nor me ever arrange to see her much. She sounds depressed and tearful in her e-mails.

Prayers assured...

Praying...,..

mhd - yanbu! The leader you spoke to has enough information to investigate what happened yesterday and get to the truth. As he isn't doing that, I'm not surprised that parents have pulled their children out of the group. What a shame when one child is allowed to spoil things for others.

pa - I don't envy you! Except for your certainty that you are doing what God wants you to do. :) Praying for you with all your various matters that need dealing with...

aaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I have just tripped over a potty full of wee.....and soaked my legs and socks and trouses and carpet... am not best pleased.

Oh BES, how horrible. 'Not best pleased' seems a bit of an understatement.

Ohhhhh BES I remember doing that once a long time back!! Uuuuuurgh!!

Praying for dryness!

bit blase about wee now... I have done the wee wee dance once to often. (jumping up and down barefoot on a towel as the best way to soak it out of the carpet... good for the skin right?
(surprising what eating one's tea does to improve you mood)
talking of wee, ds managed to be dry at school and on the way home too today.

dd has had a nosebleed, but didn't shout out about it and dealt with it herself.. which is upsetting. I did go and clean up and cuddle her when ds told me dd had been sneezing and she corrected him to bleeding. that child is too good sometimes. she does display some of the characyteristics of a girl child that has witnessed dv, and oh my goodness, ds displays boy child dv witness behaviour too. it is heartbreaking.

BES That is so . Praying for you and your children. Whatever they have witnessed, they also have your streadfast and loving example and they will grow up firm in the knowledge that you are there for them. You can't give them anything more important than that.

TACP I wasn't around yesterday, so I missed what happened, but it's clear that things are very hard for you, so I am sending you lots of prayers.

MHD Praying for your lungs to stop giving you such a hard time, and for a solution re. the other boy at cubs, so that your ds can go back to having a great time there.

PA Prayers for financial stability and for your whole endeavour.

nickel So sorry to hear about your friends... I don't have words, but am praying.

weegie Praying that today went OK and that you got the headspace you needed.

I've been struggling with things this week: work mostly, juggling everything, dh not being as helpful as he could be (though when he saw how hard I was finding everything I must say that he tried to help me sort things out), and felt let down by someone I trust a lot... Am getting back on top of things now, but the backlog is still pretty scary. Would appreciate 'coping' prayers.

late night, tired.

hope all is well with all.

I could do with a few coping prayers too.

Me too BES. Really tired today. I think all the emotion and stress is catching up with me today

Hello all

Havent read all the posts, sorry, am uber busy this morning.

The wee wee dance? Oh yes, haev done that a few times!

MRI today - MIL has offered to take me so thats another thing I dont have to worry about. Seeing gynae again next week.

Thank you for prayers...will be thinking of you all x

... did I not say as mad as a hatter?

it is that or cry. I was looking at the floor outside our front door thinking I had not had cause to do "extra cleaning " recently, but now ds has gone into pants for school....

got to check I got the blood out of her carpet too..

have a good day becaroo.. I should be busy but am not quite getting the urgency yet... I may be eating breakfast after the school run at this rate.

good luck with seeing your mum.

Coping prayers = strength for the day. Underneath are the everlasting arms.

Coping prayers for everyone on here.
