Hey @Former-Member,
Raining here, but I'm feeling better thanks and not letting the mood of the inclement weather affect me. I enjoyed watching ' Michael Hutchence' last night.
Ya my dear Deacon friend took me to Maccas and we had a cappuccino and toasted banana bread. It was so nice to catch up with a good friend.
Have a good day dear beautiful @Former-Member. Thanks for your caring words for me my dear friend. Bless you.

Hey @Shaz51,
My dear awesome friend Shaz, I love the cute piggy in the photo and ice cream. Ya, I'm glad I found a friend in you sweetie. I saw my Doctor today and he was so kind. I showed him my mother's text which said ' Feel ashamed of yourself and go to hell where you belong.' He was so kind, he googled the scripture verse of a psalm 27:10, where it says' When your mother and father forsake you, I (God)will take care of you.' A very sweet verse and I was very touched. I'm glad I shared it with you dear Shaz, your dear friend, BambiFawn xx

Ya I am motherless. I sometimes feel like a 'babe in the woods' or wilderness so to speak. Left all on my lonesone. However, I have such good supportive and loving Christian friends that give me wise counsel. My friend and I regularly go to for coffees and chat. My other friends text me a, nd write loving words to me. One of my friends says I'm such ' a sweet and gentle lamb' lol. We write creatively and send each other poems and some little essays.
It is hard not having a mother, let alone a mother that has been verbally abusing me for years. She has not replied to me and ignored me for 3 1/2 months. Apparantly I am invisible. I mean nothing to her. She is contemptuous and 'hates' me or dislikes me. And for what, I was the innocent party, who often said nothing back and went into shock over her hurtful words to me ie, calling me a ratbag of a daughter, when I never said or did anything to hurt her.
All in all, I'm happy now knowing I'm a good living person and my faith has helped me. Jesus has a mother's heart. I won't say anymore about God because I've heard from the monitors that sadly it offends some people and ' triggers' them. Suffice to say the good Lord has taken me under his mother bird wings, protecting His young, me, Hi dear @soul, @Shaz51, @Bunniekins, @Former-Member, @Former-Member et al.Any counsel or advice for me? hugs.
