Hi @Faith-and-Hope @Shaz51 @Smc and everyone else following.
This really needs to be a new post but where to pit it 🤔 easier to just tack on here.
Trust you are all well.
It has been so long since I have been on here. Since returning to full time work capacity has been limited 😴
Things are our version of steady here.
Darling is ok but perpetually hanging on by a thread. Spent a month in hospital early last year under supervision to keep her safe. Has been ok since then despite loosing a long time GP and psyc who understood her needs well.
Constant support and encouragement required.
Father-in-law has been in a cycle of anticipating his passing and bouncing back. Currently doing ok but. (Again his version of ok).
S1 has left school and has a part time job. But requires a lot of support still with baisic daily activities. He has a purpose and is loving life though.
S2 is entering his last semester of school. Has big plans for next year that worry me (from a resilience perspective) but supporting him and will celebrate the wins and support whatever the outcome.
S3 is loving school and life.
Has an ASD diagnosis. Doing great at school but a social train wreck. But he is happy with good supports in place so again celibrate the wins and grow with him.
Me...
Chipping away... above capacity but surviving.
I am in a supportive work environment where people who matter understand family is number 1 in my life and most flexible in supporting me. For this I am most grateful. Looking forward to time off over the upcoming school break.
That is the short and sugary version of the past 12 months. Cant believe it has been that long since I was on here.
I often think of everyone here and feel bad for disappearing. Jusy a time thing with many 'balls in the air'...
