Family Problems!

Hi, I feel so fed up with things in general at the moment. It looks like a family problem is coming to a head and I live 200 odd miles away, so can't do what I feel I want to do. That may be a good job for one of the people concerned, who might find that I'm not as soft a touch as they may think. Also I don't think it would do any good in the long run! Can't say too much as it's not really my direct problem to share. At them moment, I wish I could be confident enough to get into the car and see exactelly for myself, whats going on!
After a lovely week away from everything, in the beautiful County of Devon, I felt rested and ready to do anything, now I'm depressed and worried. Still I hope this problem may not be as bad as it looks. My arthritis seems to be playing up too. Tension I think. Thats enough moaning for the present. :sad: Love Sue xx

Hi Sue
l am sorry you have family worries and thinkk that - yo can't get there, but your instincts are very often right. Trust 'em.
The other thing you need to do if you possibly can is to see how you can de-stress you!! what can you do? read music freinds?? Something because arthur loves to catch you when you are down. he is a sneaky one as you know.
I do hope that the issues sort themselves out so you dont have to.
Love

Hi Sue
As you said you have just had a lovely holiday and this isn't what you need. But as you said you are 200 miles away. You can't just jump in the car, that's not far on you.
Tonies so right, you need to find something to de-stress yourself or you will be in a bad way yourself and that wont help.
Leave things alone for a while it may just all calm down. But if you want to off-load, and that not mentioning any names or anything, you go for it.
I shall be thinking of you.

I can really empathise here, Woodbon, as I had a similar situation back in February/March. I was actually 5,000 miles away but 200 can be every bit as impossible. Of course you are stressed and that will be reflected in your joints.
'My' situation played itself out with no help from me and the end result was good. Meanwhile I leaned on some good people here. It's hard when you feel you can't talk about it because it's 'not your problem to share'.
Please try to look after yourself in all this. Don't lose sight of your own needs. It's not being selfish - it's keeping as strong as possible so that, in the event of your being able to help in any way, at any time, you will be in the best possible shape to do so.
I hope things work out as well as they can. Please let us support you as much as we are able.If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.

I do sympathise. Hopefully things will sort themselves out. My daughter has just split up with her partner. She is hundreds of miles oop North, I cant comfort her or help her move into her new property but she has great friends to support her thankfully.
In the pre arthur days I would have been driving up, helping her, cooked for her but now I just cannot do these things. It takes it out of you Sue so maybe it is good thing. It is good for people to have to stand on their own two feet.
ElizabethNever be bullied into silence.
Never allow yourself to be made a victim.
Accept no ones definition of your life
Define yourself........
