@RoyalNottingham finding it difficult to comprehend that your booking system does not allow me to book two seats for @1Judilove as it leaves a seat spare? Discrimination against parties under 3....
@Sunshine82026 I totally get this. I'm working two jobs and in long distance university and it can just feel relentless juggling it all π€― I often feel guilty that I'm not seeing him enough,writing enough etc it can be very overwhelming. Chin up this isn't forever xx
@Jennamc9 This may be so clichΔ and maybe not what you want to hear,however sometimes we excel and exceed our expectations when feeling out of our depth. Sending love and lots of good luck your way xx
@Jennamc9 Sending so much love to you π family visits always feel bittersweet for me,the what was and the what could be and then the what is. It's difficult but day by day we will get there π«
@X2IKON@fae_support So sorry to hear this,it's taking the ****! Have you tried housing associations such as Peabody ? They are affordable and will accept benefits
@xoxfe1 Really feeling the strain of this at the moment! Almost questioning 'is it worth it?' I know it is but it's hard,draining and soul shattering..
@Jennamc9 Tbh I don't either. I truly believe us on the outside live in a whirlwind of adrenaline and trauma fight ot flight whilst trying to keep it together in the eyes of our loved ones inside so they don't feel more guilt but it does get exhausting time to time xx
@Jennamc9 Totally agree. Was saying to OH that for the last 6 years it has been autopilot of logistics-visits, letters,calls all to make the journey more bearable for him but who does that for us on the outside?
Training yesterday around Childhood trauma, one of the guys used to be a "paedophile hunter' he believed he was saving real children... I have saw so many families destroyed and targeted by these vigilante groups π€¦π»ββοΈ it gave me a horrid nightmare π
@Nye_agbe It really affects how much I share on the phone tbh. Nothing worse than expressing yourself and it feels defeaning because there is no intimacy of eye contact or holding his hand π
@paddywack1981 I am at this stage next year and look back on the last 7 years thinking 'omg how niave was I?!?!' but at the same time I am proud of the strength and resilience I have developed,all in the name of L O V Eβ€οΈ
