Thank goodness!
We have had loads of problems connecting back up to the internet & H was having a few little tantrums about it this morning, but I am now back!
He was not as cross as he could have been regarding the wine, because I think I have got rid of most of the stain. I am now banned from drinking red wine in the lounge!

Yeah he likes paymobil & so do I, just a tad expensive!
At her that you are talking about!
Can't believe she blanked your ds3 when she hasn't seen him before!
Think you are right about the reason she acts like she does about new additions.
They were really nasty to me about being pregnant with ds2.

I think it is the fear of the unknown more than anything.
I don't know what I will be walking into.

OP posts:
Caribbeanqueen · 07/09/2005 20:43

Yes, it is unknown, but think of it as one more step up the ladder to your new life, one more step which will increase your confidence and determination. Sorry, I sound like a self-help book!

No, I quite agree CQ! This is why I am doing it.
It would be easy to bottle out, but I know it is all for my benefit.

Hi SM, hope the freedom training goes on for you ok.

Just thought I'd let you know my son has a lot of the same characteristics as yours does. I found sitting him down and explaining that Mummy and Daddy do fight sometimes but it is nothing to do because you are perfect. From there on in, with a lot more love and kisses than I would normally give, he is starting to improve. I have child psychologists, doctors, everything to help him. My teachers understand my home situation and that has really helped in them understanding how to deal with ds. I have got a lot more understanding since I told them also! It will get better; the stronger you get the stronger your ds will become. My ds has transformed towards me, especially since I stick up to h now.

Again, good luck for tomorrow - you are doing a very positive thing and you are a good person and a good mum so don't be too hard on yourself. x

Ahhh, thanks fedup!
It is interesting to hear that your ds had problems too.
I must admit I lost it a bit tonight, due to intense tiredness & felt so awful that I gave my ds a big hug & apologised.
He was fine, but I feel so, so awful when I lose it, especially in the circumstances that we live in.
I am trying not to think too deep into tomorrows session, as I won't sleep tonight.
Will let you know how it went though.

No problem. Don't anticipate too much - you don't know what it entails yet. To be honest, I have never heard of it before so I would love to hear what it entails.

Does your h get angry at your son at all? Do you feel like you want to tell him to stop talking to him in a certain way? This is what I felt in the past, and now I just do it. Just wondering if you felt the same.

fedupandwantout · 07/09/2005 22:19

Just read back and I sounded negative about it! Ooops! didn't mean to be at all. It sounds very positive and it is fantastic that you are doing it.
