Awww that's SO CUTE! lol don't kids enjoy us having parties so much?
Lots of candles maybe Nanna? lol!
What a sweet picture.
I'm sorry the flashbacks have returned. Yes I remember the groups abuse and what you shared back then. That's so not ok.
But in true Mara style, nothing will beat you.
You will conquer this also. I know you will.
The "dad" stuff is most certainly loaded with stuff. Was he ever reported to Police?
Yes indeed alcoholism runs rampant in my family. It's ruined so many of their lives.
SA was all in ex' families and I reported the lot.
I spoke with psych friend tonight about the splintering and little Mara on the bed.
I just wish I could explain it as well as she does....
She also agreed that maybe "edging" into the abuse at the time from the outer edge - of those eerie nights waiting could be the way in to deal with the rest. Your psyche knows best but may try hard to keep it all in the vault!
I have images similar to yours. But not much emotion attached... more like a faint wistfulness.
Oh dear the Sophies will not like me saying this but I reckon my email address is on speed dial for them, the darlings! THANKYOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE ALL Sophies!
I love the moderation of this forum.
It does keep us all safer.
Did I tell you I throw "Happy Unbirthday" Parties Mara?
Lol... why not. An Unbirthday cake and all! The singing gets a little confused esp when we get to "Happy Unbirthday dear_____________________________" then we just all say each person's name at the party and laugh because it's such a mess.
Just to keep the party spirit up here. My grandchildren have pretty miserable other grand parents lol... I'm the PARTY NANA!
It's because I want lots of lollies! hahahaha.
Just an idea for grandson from Aunty Em lol. Why not eh? Life's too short and you may as well get lots of photos before you change your hair from purple to turquoise!
Love EM
