Re: How to accept help after a life of helping others
Awe...thanks @Shaz51
I didn't tag anyone so I wasn't expecting a reply. You surprised me in the best way my lovely. You're such a wonderful force on these forums Shaz; you should be so proud of yourself. Are you receiving the support you really deserve? I hope so.
I'm not sure about people's journal threads. There isn't actually a section for them so it's difficult to work out which one's fit the bill. I've kept this one alive because it describes a life long affliction with ignoring my needs for others. (opinions, problems, reactions etc)
I haven't had a visit from my family (inlcuding my son) in so long I forget when. I think it was around a year ago. I always visit them. I guess that's one of the reasons my home fell in a heap. What's the point comes to mind.
So your visit means a lot to me ok. Especially since I didn't reach out; you just found me and that's an important aspect of this community.
Thankyou so much;
Keep smiling and I will too. 🙂
Hope xo

Re: How to accept help after a life of helping others
here for you @Hope4me

do your family live close to you ??
I have 4 step children who live inbetween sydney and Darwin , so sometimes it is hard to get in contact with them and their busy lives
Mr shaz would love to live closer but we need to be close enough to look after both our mums
Kepp smiling @Hope4me and remember we are with you and you are not alone xxx

Re: How to accept help after a life of helping others
Thankyou Mrs Awsomeness! @Shaz51
Most of my family live local. Mum lives a few blocks away, son lives across town, two sisters close and one on the coast around 6 hours away.
I'm sorry your family are so far apart. It must make it hard at Xmas and birthdays etc. You and Mr Shaz are wonderful staying for your mums. I hope our kids are as caring when we need that support in years to come.
Have a lovely day...
Hope xo

Re: How to accept help after a life of helping others
Born in 1959 and 59 years young this month lovely @Shaz51
And yes, I sowed a few wild oats myself! lol
When I was 21 I used to dance on the tables and bar with enough vino. Some might be embarrassed to say that, but I'm proud to have had my fun before settling down with a family.

Re: How to accept help after a life of helping others
I'm actually having a nice day thankyou @Shaz51
Sun's shining and birds chirping make it even better. Been to town for groceries and sitting down with coffee to chill out for a while.
How's your day been?
