All I can say is I tried my best   nobody is perfect     I was happy to step in  I would do it again if I needed, 

Am I allowed to share photos of the kids?  @Appleblossom 

[Appleblossom]

I bet you did your best. Children have a way of drawing that out of us. One's best should be enough. You were 19 with 3 little ones for an extended period of care. I hope your brother and sister in law recognise and respect that one day.

I am not sure about sharing their photos @Sunnyside226 

Maybe regarding privacy, maybe not, but I am not a rule maker around here.

On my thread I posted a beautiful painting of a sleeping boy to represent my son. We find different ways to express ourselves.

[Sunnyside226]

I don't know I just thought it was ourselves we didn't.   

I'm not coping today     I want the pain to stop     I miss them so much 

@Appleblossom      do you have plans for today? 

[Appleblossom]

Sorry @Sunnyside226 I have been flat out all day.

I can understand you missing them.

Pain is a lot to cope with. Have you done any therapy that helps you understand the causes or helps you cope with it?

I have a lot going on at the moment. Struggling myself.

It's ok don't worry about me @Appleblossom    take care

Just sending a hello @Sunnyside226 

There are different levels of involvement on the forums. I found the sense of community helpful.... Find what works best for you.

Hi @Appleblossom   I'm not in a good place ATM    

To be honest. I don't really connect with other people on here     I talk to like 3/4 people on here,      I like to stay with people I know or have talked to I don't make many connections very well,   I don't think many people would talk to me if I tried,   tbh   I don't see many other forums on here. Only 2/3 I really say hi on.  

Tbh  working out the forums is hard,  

Sorry for being blunt I'm not ok  too many in my head.   Not myself 

Talk later or something @Appleblossom

@Sunnyside226 long time no chats, hello! I am sorry to hear that you have been feeling like this on the forums, that is no fun. It can feel tricky sometimes for a lot of members, especially when everyone in this community is also fighting their own battles in life, too. 

Sometimes the easiest way to connect on here is in some of the social spaces where anyone is free to jump in and continue the conversation - you don't need to wait to be tagged, you can just start chatting!! Have you been over to the Best Friends Club?

But sometimes even that is hard, and we understand that too. Everything in little steps, right? 

I hope you feel a little better tomorrow, and I'll chat to you next time 😊

@Sunnyside226 

Do what works. Somehow we do need to trust our instincts somewhat. No matter what the issues are.

I have been posting for years. It’s taken a long time for me to be comfortable and jokey and social. It’s just the last few years I have managed to have some fun. I still struggle with heavy suicidality, though I have no definite plans. So now I am learning to mix it up. Show some of my strengths and my vulnerability. Used to have a lot of shame and be very shy…. For nearly 60 years. Some of the staff around here are great. Take it all at your own pace.
