So - why when I'm on MN several times a day do I never post properly on here anymore??
Let's try a little catch up of life in the Madmouse House.
My dad was over recently with my stepmum and I got really stressed again in advance because he still didn't know about the abuse that happened when I was small or about me having been ill for over a year and a half now.
The morning after he arrived I was texting a friend at silly a clock in a panic that I couldn't go on like this. The next day in the evening I felt calm and told my dad. he was shocked but believed me and was supportive.
It has had its fallout for me emotionally and for some reason it has brought back new memories and some difficult feelings so have been down again, but every time now I get better at asking for help and I bounce back quicker - so still lots of improvement.
I'm mostly enjoying my work. It's hectic but not stressful as the big decisions are not mine!
DH has had to take a break from work due to depression and difficulties with his boss. There is a plan to move forward but that's all being held up again - sigh...church bureaucracy!
Nathan is a little star and doing really well - his speech is progressing, eg yesterday he objected me taking him from his toys and dressing him and when I asked why he was crying he said 'I play my cars'
He's enjoying going to school in the taxi with other kids twice a week and also loves nursery two days a week. They always say how happy he is 
A few weeks ago he finally learned ot say 'No' and 'nononononononononooooooooooooooooo'. And how to have mega tantrums at physio that make him so stiff that he can't even crawl anymore!! Still good whenever he does some proper 2 year old stuff!!!
Hope you're all ok - I'm reading up regularly xx
