Ohhh Sue,
So sorry to hear you are down at the moment, how are you feeling today? So sorry for not getting back to you sooner, only really just finding my way around the forum. Since finding this forum I am feeling so much about myself and the future and it is down to you and everyone else on here who have been so kind to me, with help, advice, a shoulder to cry on, or just to listen when I need to pour my heart out. You have had such a huge influence on my new found positive outlook and hope for the future, I don't know what I would have done without your kind and supportive words. It is great to know you are out there and one thing I have learnt is that with the friends on this forum you will never ever be alone, there is no need to be so don't face things alone, let us all help and support you. I know what you mean about keeping things from family, and shouldering it all yourself. I have borrowed so much money from my parents, and they have helped so much that I will never be able to repay them. But life is not always about money, it just isn't. Every Christmas my parents come round and we have a great time, New Year's Eve is just such a silly and wondeful time. I guess what I'm trying to say is that although I can't pay them back in money, we share some great times as a family (now after putting a long past behind us) and that means more than anything money can buy. I have very recently told my mum and dad, not everything but enough, of what is going on, guess what I think they already knew. They don't need to know everything, what would be the point? but I wanted to let them know that things weren't great at the moment, but I was now facing things and doing everything I could to sort it all out. this was a great releif for them I could tell, because up until then, they could only guess about the full extent of my problems. Now they know enough for them to have a little piece of mind, family understand more than you think, as I am myself just finding out. Hey and don't forget that inner strength we once talked about!! It is a wonderful thing that will always get us through the most part, and then there are family and this forum to help with rest. Hope you are feeling better today Sue.
Luv and best wishes, Mike xx
