So mrsinky has taken foal our on an easter egg hunt at Sutton Hoo.
I am not invited.
She is meeting a work colleague and his children. His kids have been through a divorce . She thinks mybe they can help foal.
I am not invited.
This chap was kicked out by his wife, and is still adjusting. She is worried seeing me will upset him.
I dont know what to think. I would like to ask him how he coped with his life being stolen. With waking one morning and finding nothing left. I think she doesnt want him to see the evidence of what she is doing.
I am back on the sofa. While I still have access.

I'm wishing you well and the staying power of Beethoven when he lost his hearing.
ReplyDeleteExceptional people too often face excruciating demands.
What bmfor says. Lx
ReplyDeletePossibly she doesn't want to see the evidence of what she's doing either - Day out with all the kids on visit day doesn't look as harsh as the reality of it.
ReplyDeleteI have literally zero sympathy for her right now, and I'm usually a fairly tolerant bloke. There's "picking your timing" and there's "waiting until your partner is at home sick from work after a horrible mental health fuckup, and asking for a divorce" and the latter is fucking inexcusable.
You're human/equine too, she should be treating you as such.
Inky, one of my friends from university is a solicitor who has trained in mediation. This prompted me to do a search and find this umbrella organisation. There are useful sections on coping with different aspects of divorce, as well as meditation services. http://www.nfm.org.uk/.
ReplyDeleteI can see where bitey is coming from, but I am not sure that focusing on blame or bad behaviour is the way forward, though in the short-term anger is a very natural and understandable response to what seems like a terrible betrayal.
Love, Cathy ♥
PS that was of course a typo when I said 'meditation services'!
DeleteNow I'm in a better frame of mind, I tend to agree with TP :)
ReplyDeleteStill wouldn't blame you for pointing fingers.
If you want to come up to Manchester for a cup of tea, you'd be very welcome. I'd bring your own tea mind you, and teapot. My boiling water, however, is world class.
ReplyDeleteHow are you inky?
ReplyDeleteNot lovel6
ReplyDelete:( Say more if and when the time is right.
ReplyDeleteStill got you in my thoughts, whether you write anything or not for a while.
ReplyDeleteIn the meantime I don't know whether you've come across "Science Babe" - she's a fervent anti-woo warrior - but I discovered from reading her blog the other day that she also has EDS.

ReplyDeleteCathy, whilst the safe distance is of course essential for propriety, you would be as safe a Barney with Stig* in my lean-too of course.
Inky, all I can do is wring my hands and fret, gives us a grunt when you can.
*Highbrow literary reference, get in!

ReplyDeleteAccording to Wiki, Barney and Stig get on rather well together. However, despite being born one year before the book was published, it passed me by completely (too busy reading my Rupert annuals). So your cultural reference was lost upon me :( Top marks for effort nonetheless. :)
ReplyDeleteInky, bantering aside, very much hoping you are OK. Cathy xxx
I am saddened to read about the problems you are facing at the moment. Stay strong and take care.
ReplyDeleteMcr Uni are having an open day, where kids can play with Slime Mould. I would not be taking the Harmlet if it were not for you.
ReplyDeleteAlso, send more bog roll, I was reduced to to fashioning a crude clagg-adze out of the inside cardboard roll bit-most unsatisfactory.
There are more people wishing you well than you think. As an occasional visitor to the other place I noticed your absence and wondered where you'd gone (I don't read every thread). So I found you here, after a bit of a search. Post here as a distraction if it helps - or just to give me some new recipes to try. As a figment of your imagination I have a vested interest in hearing that you're looking after yourself. TheGovernor.
ReplyDeleteSod it.
