VSM/UKM is getting naked...

[verysadmum]

UKM - well you probably do now (esp after my now deleted cock-up last night).

VSM - Well I guess I'm not anymore. Well not as much anyway.

I'm sick of 'pretending' I'm fine and avoiding conversations in case I gave myself away.

Okay so I still need to tell my parents in fact lots of people really.

As Aloha said to me earlier "After all, if you can't be honest 'anonymously' where can you
be?"

Just need to get my hat off now... (Eeeeeeeeek!)

sb34, I didn't realise you were the 'undercover mum' here, either. I haven't had much advice, since others have posted so helpfully saying all the things I might have. But I am sorry I didn't realise, cos I might at least have come over and given you a hug at Christmas.

I have read your threads, and just want to wish you all the best as you rise again. All the pain you have suffered changes you as a person, makes you wiser and more perceptive. We women are strong because we have to be, and you are one of the strongest.

No child goes through life without experiencing some knocks. As you probably know, I have a damaged child whom I could not protect from her father, since I didn't know what he was doing. But once I did know, I stopped it, and now my damaged child is mending slowly.

You are there for your ds and will be all he needs to make him better. I believe it is our response to their hurts that makes the difference.
