Hiya friends.
Just feeling low and wanting someone to talk to about it. Hubby cannot do with emotional stuff…he is a practical man…he makes lovely meals, ensures I have clean clothes and keeps buying me choccy…I tell him I am fat enough, but he ignores that and knows I cant resist the fat stuff.
Why am I feeling down? I do know and so that`s half the battle isnt it?
Its family stuff...2 of the grandkids preparing to go off to uni..bless em. Im so proud of them but worry they may be vulnerable to the wrong kind of things that go on.
Another grandchild has left home due to the actions of another…
The trouble one has been emotionally whipped by her father…divorced from her mum (my daughter) a long time ago…yet he still gets off on hurting his own flesh and blood. He`s prize barsteward!
I`ve bawled me eyes out today. Not cried for myself for quite some time. Cant be faffed wi that anymore!

Ah Poll, so sorry to hear you’re not feeling too bright, it’s not a nice feeling for whatever reason. It must be a worry thinking about your grand kids, the world is a very different place from when we were younger, but I’m guessing their pretty sensible and going away to uni will be a great experience, they’ll have the time of there live. We all have day’s like you’re having.whaether its family/friends, or the treaded MS, so you are so not alone, come on chin up girl, you’re made of stronger stuff…go on have another chocolate.

I am so sorry that you & your family are having such a crappy time. As for youngsters going to Uni, if you did not worry that would indicate that you didn’t care. Part of their education will be from making choices and dealing with consequences. As long as they know that they can come back to you whether things go well or badly is worth a lot. When they do come back to you through choice that should tell you something. Don’t waste your thoughts on the ex son in law, he sounds like a git. Just be there for your daughter and her kids. I do hope that you feel better soon.

Oh Poll, I am so sorry you feel so down about things at the moment, but don’t fret sometimes a good bawl does us the world of good, best to just let it out girl.
I know what it’s like worrying about grandkids at Uni cos I have one in Manchester and worry about him all the time, but Poll he is having a whale of a time and has grown into a beautiful young man, and I am sure yours will do the same.
As for the ex son in law don’t waste energy giving him any thought, doesn’t sound like he deserves anything.
Tomorrow is another day Poll hope it’s a better one for you.

ah Bouds
what a pillock your ex son in law is.
i will repeat my mum’s fave curse for violent, nasty men “may he get galloping nob rot”.
that’s karma!
the kids at uni in manchester will be fine.
manchester is no worse than any other city or town.
Mick’s reply was lovely.
