Had to shave my face today for the new job , now my wife wants a divorce ...the dog tried to bite me and the neighbor did'nt know me...aaah is'nt life just great lol , fortunately i could chase dog the back home cos its not mine , now i know how Hull feels and EXKLBR is going to feel wtf ! who cares anyway lmao at myself .
Had to work today 9am - 7pm
But on the up side will earn lots of pennies for my holiday spends & when I get home MR_P will be back from his 'boys weekend' & at least I wasn't out on my bike in the thunder storm that passed overhead.
my daughter coming down from bed, crying because she does not want ezcema anymore........it breaks my heart....and once she went back upstairs i cried too
it pisses me off.....she has had it since she was 3, still under a specialist at leicester royal inf, has to have 2 creams all over her, a body stockingette suit, creams on her face too and hands bandaged...and this is every night, she very rarely complains, but tonight as she was a bit tired...she was upset.....most people could not go through what she does....i love you so much my angel, keep ya chin up, it will go eventually !!!!
reading this puts life in perspective, we all whinge like hell about silly stuff, why this and why that, end of the day we make choices about why we are on a certain route in life, our choices have put us there - and theres a little girl who never complains, who never had a choice - think theres a life lesson here guys.....
give your Angel a love for me Ian xxxx
That has made me really think and give my own head a shake Ian. I moan on (trying for the sympathy vote) when I tell people that I'm a single parent of two teenagers struggling to make do. When I hear your situation it makes me realise how easy I've got it.
You've got a brave little girl there, things will get better for her I'm sure.
Cassie's gonna sort out a special stone (a Wiccan thing) and try to get it to you at the rally this weekend. Anything that might help is worth a try.
I have great faith in Wiccan ways, a close friend has helped me in the last year with her healing, I hope this helps your little girl - love and light xxx
thanks mark, pm sent to you and cass, and thanks rose, and my new friend nuts for your kind words, you will meet my daughter soon , and my son the 13 going on 16 teenager !!!! lol, he aint that bad.....
Yes... children put all your own woes into perspective. My gal has excema too Ian... although not as bad as yours by the sound of it. She is 11 now, and it is showing signs of clearing up... or flaring up less often...so fingers crossed mate.
My boy is my greatest concern. He is 10, and for the last year has been in therapy for self esteem and anger issues... he worked really hard, and in July was signed off from the service. We were all so proud of him... but (ain't there always a but...) I am wondering if he is 'pretending' for my benefit as my daughter's tyre on her bike was viscously stabbed at the other day, and it can only be him that did it.... but of course he is denying it..... so any advice from you parents out there would be good! I have done the "you can talk to me about anything"... and my kids know I don't hit them... I just want him to own up so we can deal with the issues that caused him to do something so destructive.
Eeeep... sorry for going on! My kids went through so much because of the ex... and they are my world.
Its only last month he was signed off, not long at all - maybe he 'hid' some of his issues because of feeling ashamed or didnt want to go there ? - I know I did in counselling two years ago, and it only comes back to bite your butt later, and I'm an adult... and in my case it did this year big time, you can only hide so long your feelings.
Reassure him you are going to listen and ask if he has anything he needs to tell you, like you have, that you wont be angry but are worried about him, and dont mention it anymore, he will be caught off-guard by this and then its his choice to decide when he wants to come clean. He wont like to think his mum is worrying about him either. In the meantime I'd re-contact the services to say what has happened and what do they suggest ? Also I find spending time like baking together, playing footie, etc often brings them out their shell naturally and volunteer what they feel or want to say. This works for me too with my kids. If he wants to have his time, let him, try not to appear anxious, I know its harder said then done but he is less likely to approach you as he will sense it.
If he starts by shouting in frustration I suggest saying when he starts you won't talk whilst he is yelling at you, if he does to have time out and when he feels better to come back and reassure you will listen, and sit together away from other siblings - he will get to a point where he will take himself to his quiet time like my daughter does, and return when calmed down, she's 13. Also repeat what he has said, this reassures him you have listened and understood him, then ask what you can do to help or what he wants to happen. I hope this helps, I've spent a few years in a secondary school, and its what Ive learnt along the way, good luck xxx
