Hi @outlander
I understand - I know you are on the edge right now - and your mother needs that come-uppance - what ever it means
And taking a few nights in an hotel - really good idea - much better than the one night she offered you - measly little bribe
I feel like I have said enough but I will insist on telling you that your deserve better and you are entitled to do better and I think you are facing something similar to me at the same age - going to night school gave me insight and plans - I was told by my mother that I was changing and of course I was changing - as you are and it seems you have to fight harder than most to have the adult life you are working towards
You are seriously worn down - I really hope you sleep -
I have to ask - what would your mother be doing if you had not been born - she'd have two kids and wow - so did I - it's really hard to rear two children and do all the housework and work as well with all of that
Your mother has no idea - she doesn't know which end is up
I am sorry - still aring and reminding you that you are important
Hugs

@outlander, I wish I knew the answer to "why did this have to happen now". I have asked myself that numerous times after the week I've had.
Things just happen sometimes that are totally out of our control. And they are crappy and set us back and make us quesion everything we know. We just have to help each other out as best we can

you were telling me about you favourite colours - one being purple which is the same colour as my carpet. You like the ocean and painting and drawing. You loved horses. That was only a few things however.
So here is another round of questions
What is your favourite tv show?
what is your favourite movie?
favourite food?
vegetable you refuse to eat?
favourite book?
Are you a bath or shower person?
Summer or winter person and why?
See how you go answering these ones

Good job @outlander. I love the Big Bang theory, that is my to go show when I can't sleep at night. Just keep watching reruns of it. I have to agree with the Brussel sprouts, yuk.
havent read outlander, might have to read it. I am a winter girl. Colder it is, the more snow there is. That is my happy place!!
how are you going now?

I will be okay @outlander
I will have the MRI and save my freak-out for the appropriate time - I don't like the idea but I will be okay
Anyway - organising your private retreat is a good idea - it's safer than driving around like you were last night - you need a place to be free and don't tell them where you are
I really hope you sleep tonight also - with your regular medication and your PRNs and being so tired - yes - that should help
But I do get it how stirred up you are - I hear you - I understand

In my lunatic rant this afternoon I said something similar to you. @outlander You are not disturbing anyone here, we are all here to help each other. I lost it big time this afternoon and @Sans911 helped me out heaps. I'm not saying I am in a great headspace, but I am in a place where I can 'pay it forward' and helps someone else.
Sounds like a good book and good to series. No wonder you named yourself after it😀😀
