I'd just like to also say that I don't half appreciate the support I get on here from people, you and Cherie being two of them. It's lovely.
I feel I now have motivation to get up in a morning, usually between 5.30 and 6am to do breakfasts etc. There's always a chance for an hours nap mid morning. Before I lived here because I'd lost Josh I was alone and my time was hard to fill. When I was with Josh until 2014 I was depressed most of the time before I got sorted with medication and counselling that went back to Josh's dad and the abusive relationship and later my mums death. So I wasn't doing much housework etc and yes I probably emotionally didn't support Josh enough either looking back. He had to grow up so quickly. He did turn into a fine young man though so I must have done something right.

…I think that it sounds as though you supported him as much as you were able to at the time, Kate…it’s that self care again, isn’t it though…if we don’t preserve anything in ourselves, then there is little to give to others…as you say, your balance is there more now because you have your routine and focus more etc…but to try to think of it still as a ‘work in progress’ because the more that you have those other focuses in caring for others, than the more energy you need so more self care…it really is about keeping that balance…if you use more then you need more, you know…Liverpool and your time with Vanessa will really help, I think…have the best time and Vanessa is a great person to help that to happen also…:love:… |
