My heart goes out to you and your daughter. I don’t understand how people can be so heartless.

Bullies are awful Renee. I hate that you are having to go through this. Reading this has me personally wanting to walk your daughter to all her classes. Sending you and her a huge hug. 🩷

Feeling a lot. Need a good sleep. Not giving in.
The trick is to keep wanting and being grateful for what we have. Dreams and aspirations are wonderful and creative and make spaces in front of you, but if you run rather than walk you leave too many resources behind. Drag what’s useful along slowly and let the rest fall off the cart.
You will get there one day. So will I.

Honestly, what a shit show. They can never take her inner fire, so stoke her self esteem and independence and confidence/resilience as much as you can mama. Kids are such assholes.

Oh Rene I am so sorry. I’m seething and in tears over here for your daughter and it’s got to be killing you. Gosh. I don’t know what to say. There’s no excuse for this. I wish the faculty would do something. I want to join @TrustyBird and walk with her too

Day 32. Feeling ok. I received a 4am text from my former best friend of over 20 years, who I haven’t seen in over a year. She probably was just awake at 4:00 a.m. I have my phone on do not disturb until 7:00 a.m. except for a few people and she happens to be one of them. Her text basically asked how I felt about starting a new relationship, different than before. I’m not really sure what that means. In my opinion, the relationship was very lopsided with me doing all the heavy lifting. There are other things that make it complicated as well, but after being excluded one too many times (after expressing that I was lonely and to not exclude me) I stopped talking to her. I figured I would exclude myself instead of being hurt time and time again when she excluded me. I’m crying as I type this. I haven’t responded. I have experienced so much pain from this relationship that I don’t know if I can try again and that is probably what I will respond. But I am ok. I guess I am glad she reached out to know she does care but I think there has been too much damage.

Checking in on day 243 AF.
I did another book nook model this week and finished it off this evening. It’s so easy to lose sense of time when I’m working on it. I’ve also been reading Poor Things by Alistair Grey as I loved seeing the film a couple of weeks ago. A few weeks back I wasn’t able to focus on reading so I’m pleased I’ve built up that habit again.
My son has a friend visiting from Germany this weekend so that will be interesting.
I think I could live inside one of these book nooks!

Day 719
Not much has changed since yesterday. My sweet boy is still sick. Stayed home today from school again. Ive just been taking care of him and tidying up all day. Im not sure if i am getting sick also but my temp is a bit warmer than usual too. Hopefully im not sick for work this weekend.
I have actually had some thoughts of using lately. Some thoughts of missing it. Not sure exactly where these thoughts are coming from. Some days i just feel like i need an escape i guess. But i know today that there are other ways to “escape” without having all the consequences of using drugs. I guess these are more self care strategies than ways to escape. Anyway, i hope everyone is doing well

Omg girl… this angers me sooo much! I cant believe they are punishing her for something that was done to her. What is the punishment for these other students? Are they not addressing this at all?
I think ur handling this well. Online schooling definitly sounds like a good option and Im glad she stood up for herself too. I really hope ur able to sort this out. Sending u strength and love my friend

@JazzyS thank you

@Scorpn your poor daughter 
shame on the school! To this day, the bullying I experienced in school still affects me. It’s mental, emotional, and physical torture. Online school sounds like a great option so I hope it all works out 
it does sound like it would be better for your son too.

This morning I was awake early. I did some meditations, some reading, did a load of laundry, spent time with my cats, and eventually did my morning routine.
This afternoon I went to my diabetic eye screening appointment, it didn’t take long at all, I should receive my results in 2-3 weeks. To get the images they need, they have to put eye drops in that dilate the pupils, my eyes are still blurry now! I walked there and back and I loved being outside, so I’m hoping to have the motivation and energy to go for some intentional walks this weekend.
I didn’t structure my day well enough to fit going to the gym (at a quiet time) in, I will try again tomorrow.
Wishing you all wonderful sober weekends.
