Oh dear! Little Cat! Thx so SO MUCH for your response. Your situation sounds, if it's possible, as bad as-or even worse-than mine. Because you're living together. Well, my Mom was brought up by her paternal grandparents and they favored the British Nannies. So, I too, was BASIC-ally Brit in my upbringing. My mother is quite the monstro! Hateful and DEF NO PHYSICAL TOUCHING NOR ANY TRUE AFFECTION. Makes me sick. Maybe your Mum is sweeter with you, I fervently hope❤️ So, you're taking Prozac? Ha!! Guess what? Believe it or not: I was practically a Guinea Pig for it, wayyyy back, in the '80's!!! I got too manic though, after a spell. Also, was a pioneer in the field of current (like, within past 40 yrs or so) EDs. Restrictive AN, 1970-71. And yes, "me and Karen Carpenter"
Had what I can only call a "Medical Miracle Recovery". Yes. Let's just say that
I've got three beautiful YA and adult kiddos. (My eldest, a wonderful man now, sort of inadvertently has produced three kids of his own)!!! Anyhow, it's extra hard coz my hub is a "practicing" alcoholic. Meaning he's been in rehab three times. Leaving me to tend with our two young kids and all household and $$ responsibilities. Longer story Shorter: he's wanted to get a divorce for a while. Since the booze became The Most Important Thing. I'd be way better off as he feels it's all his $$ and won't treat me as equal partner etc, won't pay for my health ins even. He's gotten worse fast now, too. So, we got a difficult dog and we both adore him and he, us. Idk how the hell that'll work out. But anyway, I thank you so much and sorry I got carried away...I'm an artist, a painterly persona! Poetic and all media really. If you ever need some emotional back-up,
Dont hesitate to post here, I guess. I'm brand new here, so. Or "PM"s?? Idk! Lol
