Re: Just checking in.
Oh @CheerBear my spidey senses went off yesterday for you. I had a feeling something wasn’t right. I’m glad you aren’t hiding here.
It sounds really big what you went through yesterday. I’m so sorry that you and yours were caught in something like this that just shouldn’t have happened. I have so many feels reading your post.
I am in fixit brain mode and so words are not coming easy (unless they can fix it :face_with_rolling_eyes: which I know they can’t). I am here listening and sending massive amounts of hugs and nest building things for comfort. 💜🤗

Re: Just checking in.
@TeejI came online a few times yesterday to try and feel somewhat connected to something while everything else was a scrambled, spinning mess. I badly wanted someone to hug while I was bananas and someone to remind me that my action mode is usually pretty spot on. I'm so glad nothing came of it. I'm thinking we would have been in the middle of nowhere right now if it had 🙁 Thank you for your spidey senses and your listening eyes and hugs. They help.
I have a fix-it solution I'd love to see. It is to put all perpetrators of violence in the middle of nowhere and restrict their movements and what they do, rather than leaving people who've experienced violence to live a limited life in fear 😏 So much ugh to it all!
We have some fun stuff today as the kids are off for a PT interview thing we've just done. We've got two extras here - a big kid interstate relative and middle sized school friend who is over nearly every day (we drop them home on the way to picking up Big) but will spend the whole day here today. Mine are super excited and happy. Sun is shining and things are good really, if I stop and think about it.
I hope today has good in it for you. Thanks for being you ❤

Re: Just checking in.
Thinking of you both, Teej and CheerBear.
Just sneaking through to drop off a box of warm blankets and soft stuffed toys for anyone who would like to use them.

Re: Just checking in.
Good to see you @TheVorticon (as usual, wondering how you're doing but going to leave it as that kind of open, general statement you can choose what to do with, rather than asking a question that might feel like pressure to reply to 😉)
👍😎

Re: Just checking in.
Hi @CheerBear @TheVorticon @Bimby2 @Teej @Shaz51
Oh @CheerBear I'm sorry you went through that. It sounds completely overwhelming.
I'm in big feels territory this morning. Can't get a handle on them, but I know it's to do with liffe's contradictions and being vulnerable. Not looking for answers coz there are none, but checking in here is always helpful. It's my safe space.

Re: Just checking in.
Big hugs for you. Where you are at is tricky territory for sure. No answers, because you're right in that there often aren't any. But lots of listening if/when it helps and some understanding that 'just checking in' can be so helpful.
With you ❤
