Hi Freckle. I can't post on my thread!! It just keeps freezing my screen and has done for a couple of days. The last post was a fluke so here's a new one!!
I'm not going to Ibiza I'm going to stay with some friends down south. I think Ibiza will just be too depressing on our own-my family won't even be there. But he's obviously not best pleased. I didn't get any response to the news whatesoever.
DS1 trashed the kitchen again last night. It is absolutely horrific to listen to. There's nothing I can do other than let him get it out of his system. He got an assesment from school yesterday and it was nearly all A5's. (outstanding achievment and effort) So there are luckily no worries there. He just saves it all up for when he gets home. DS2 is starting to be affected. God it's heartbreaking. Feel like phoning him and just holding the phone up to the screaming but what good will that do??? Just make him angry with me coz of his guilt.
Thanks for your mail honey. Will reply today XXXXX

Oh Spook. [hug]

Spook - So sorry

You might feel better for getting it off your chest.

Grab your dog and go for a long walk to blow away the cobwebs - might help!

anorak · 30/11/2004 13:37

Please talk to us spook. We worry about you you know. xxxx

sykes · 30/11/2004 17:57

Spook, just a quick hello. Hope you and the boys have lots of support.

soapbox · 30/11/2004 23:33

Spook are you having a bad time?

Anorak's right - we do care...

let us take a bit of the burden off your shoulders - once your ready to share it!

alicatsg · 30/11/2004 23:59

Spook - am sending cyberhugs and hoping you're ok.

W&R and Moomina are right - he wants your attention like any small boy chucking a tantrum. He IS going to kick more when he sees its not working and then he'll learn that lying on the floor of the supermarket is really not that clever and that no-one is that interested and then he'll grow up. You're making him feel that he's in the wrong - good.

You deserve much better than a manipulative eel with a weak will. Luckily your boys have better - you. Hang in there.

Hi everyone. I'm here. I'm so so sorry to have worried you all. Haven't had my computer on-been on the beach alot.
I'm OK now. Had a rough few days but DH is now on the other side of the world and incommunicado and am fast gathering strength from that. I have just been putting all my time and effort into getting strong and taking care of my boys.
I don't know why your CAT didn't work SC. I have never chosen the not to be contacted route. But I am here and I am OK. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

So glad to hear this. You must be creating quite a path on that beach. Hope you encountered a few strong winds to blow some cobwebs away.

SpringChicken · 01/12/2004 11:25

So glad you are OK Spook! !

Keep staying strong and remember we are here.

PS - I would contact Mumsnet about your CAT!
