Re: Parents Supporting Unwell Adult Children
Hi @Shaz51 ,
Not too bad today. I've just had a covid test -pretty sure it's just a shocking cold, but doing the right thing. Had 2 pretty good days with my daughter. We are in lockdown but she is able to work, which is great for her. I just get anxious every time she leaves the house. But I'm trying to relax and give her the benefit of the doubt instead of trying to predict the future.
How about yourself?

Re: Parents Supporting Unwell Adult Children
@Shaz51 My daughter is in high spirits so it's been a good night, thank you for asking. You sound like you have a full plate. I hope you manage to get a good nights sleep xx
That's cute about your son. I remember once I asked my son to pick me some thyme from the herb garden and he bought me back some weeds haha.
Silly question; does D1 mean daughter, first born and S2, son 2nd born? 🙂
