Hi @PeppiPatty,

It is nice to see you again, it has been a while, i have missed you.  how are you and Arlo going?

I am glad you like reading the messages @PeppiPatty, feel free to join in when you want.

[PeppiPatty]

Oh @Jacques
You cool dude ....... I'm being honest here ...... I often think of Karen ...... In that she really is a good Mum
She just needs a break sometimes
I certainly did ......
So when I think of Karen I think of you
:0)
I've been in a family crisis of my own doing ..... I've been suggesting my youngest brother contacted my other brothers to make peace ......
What came out of it was the absolute horrible mental abuse my stepdad had done to all my brothers
My oldest son
He tried to get my sons taken away from me
That he worked very hard at turning them against me
And sort of succeeded
And the outcome .....good thing of it is that
I'm an okay person .... Still a bit useless but not in a bad way
Because I'm doing the best I can

There was a reason why my life has been so absolutely sad and you know .... I don't care anymore
I just don't care
Because so many people have had it so much worse
I cannot even start to write what others have in their experiences
Because it's upsetting and I LOVE reading your compassion

I'm working out other things
Like how important Arlo is
He has thrown himself on his tiny cushion next to my bed.....
I must send you more photos
Thank you for your message
I bet you didn't expect a two pages monologue back hey 🌻🌺🐅🐰🐴🐎🌼🌷🌴🌴👒❤️🍁🐥🎂🐰🐎🐢🍓

Hi Jacques

Thanks for the picture it's very cute.

I've got a busy day so I won't be online.

The girls have to see the psychologist, so lots of driving.

I hope you are ok and I'll be thinking of you.

I'm sure you'll be working on the house.

Take care j.

Hi Jacques

I'm finished at the house today.

A man came to quote on stumping I was terrified of him. I had to shake his hand at that was it.....

I'm a mess......

I've been having trouble driving the last 5 days.

Everything becomes blurred.

I'm scared of what's happening. I have to drive so far each day.

Now another 2 hours with the girls to see the psychologist.

I don't want to tell anyone I'm so scared and don't know what's happening.

I finished the window winders. And have started putting new locks on the doors.

I'm too tired to manage the bathroom, it's a lot of heavy lifting.

I hope you are ok and getting some work done on the house.

Take care

Karen

[Jacques]

Oh Karen, you did well, 2 men in two days, it is ok that you are struggling, it has been a big effort for you.

Karen please go and see your doctor, it may be something serious, I get that sometimes I think our heart rate goes Up when we are anxious, high blood pressure is not good. You should get it checked out, just in case.

Karen maybe you should cancel their appointment this week. You don't sound in a good way.

Karen I think you are pushing yourself too hard, I think the holiday and everything else you have had to deal with is taking a toll on your health.

Please take care, if it is too much to drive, ask your mum or cancel your appointments.

I am worried about you Karen. You need a break.

[hiddenite]

I already have high blood pressure Jacques I am on medication for it.

I never thought of that thanks.

I won't let the girls miss an appointment. The psychologist is already concerned that I won't be able to manage all their appointments because of how far I have to drive.

I can't let anyone see that I am struggling so much.

I hope you get a rest today Jacques you've been busy.

Take care

Karen

[Jacques]

Karen, you are reducing how much coke and V you drink, it may be a sugar imballance, your body's reaction to the reduced sugar intake, please go see your doctor.

Oh Karen, you are a good mum, but your health really should come first, especially with this.

Is it possible to get your sister or brother to help out with the driving?

Karen, if no one knows how much you are struggling, how can anyone help? i know you are scared my angel, it is such a lot to deal with on your own, you sound so overwhelmed.  i wish their where a way for me to help you.

Karen i did not sleep at all last night, i am so exhaused, i pushed myself to do put down the floor underlay, but i was so tired by the end of it, the show has taken it's tolll on me, i think it has on you too.

I hope you made it to the appointments and got home safely, please if this happens in the future, stop the car at the nearest spot and just take some deep breaths.

You are in my thoughts my angel, please be safe

Jacques
