Let's start with a cute and amusing Easter song though I wouldn't recommend listening to it more than once

Having already eaten my one and only Easter Egg, I'm just settling down to write my message.

The year hasn't been good for me so far, but it's looking up. Not to go into too much detail but my financial situation has improved and I'm feeling more positive.

Going back in time, in 2014 when I left Tibb, I had a mental breakdown for anyone who doesn't know, and was hospitalised for a few months. It was because my mum died and the way in which we found her. After I came out of hospital my family had disowned me and I'd never felt so alone. I only had my son. We moved into a flat together and things were better for quite a while. I met Karl and started a new relationship. Sadly in the interim years between then and now I've lost contact with my son, again most of you know this. He moved in with my brother and his wife,and turned his back. I'm forever hopeful that one day he will get back in touch, I think about him every single day.

Recently I was at the point when I felt everything closing in again. I've been to the doctor and arranged some counselling. I've cut down a lot on gambling, though not completely tbh. I'm better off now.

Regrets, yes I have lots. I massively regret asking people for money and letting it get out of hand. But I'm more or less on top of things now.

I'm so grateful to people on this forum in so many ways and wanted to express this here today. Sending so much love at Easter and you're all in my thoughts and prayers. I know I'm far from the only one who's had sad times.

I had planned for this to be a jolly uplifting brief message but my heart took over.

Love from Kate. Xx

Aw Kate, no one knows what people are going through, you have recognised where things were going awry and are in the process of putting it right...I hope you are reunited with your son at some point in the future, keep the lines open and hopefully one day it will happen

Happy Easter

Aw Kate, life can be so hard.
I'm glad things are looking up for you.
You deserve to be happy.
Families are complicated.
I don't really speak to mine, except my sister.
You know you'll always have my support and I really value your friendship

Hope all gets better for you Kate,we all have our demons and you are at least facing yours,I hope your son sees sense and realises you only have one mom and life is short, Hoping for good times for you,all the best for the future.

Happy Easter everyone!
Today I have the day off, I'm so happy!
I was going to meet a friend and go to the funfair, but it's raining.
So not sure we'll be able to go.
I still want to go out, hopefully the weather will improve later.
We're already in April, time sure goes fast.
It's been an interesting year, with a few challenges.
But I'm feeling positive overall.
Enjoy your holidays!
