I'm grateful for two sons who are kind, gentle, loving, generous - all things good - otherwise I'd be thinking there really IS something wrong with me! <br />They both have lovely girlfriends who they live with, so I don't get to see a lot of them, but I know they're there if I need them.<br />I haven't read all of your blog so I don't know yet what species of FW you have, but I've been helped enormously by a few books (Why Does he do that? by Lundy Bancroft and anything by Patricia Evans)and once I realised what was going on I felt better. Ideally I'd be out of this toxic environment, but lack of funds keeps me here as well as a hefty dose of unhelpful and totally irrational guilt. <br />One day maybe....<br />Thank you for your good wishes.<br />R<br />xxxCarriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06531886561147629729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2506701170343395428.post-28671190042827908192013-01-27T07:34:28.464+00:002013-01-27T07:34:28.464+00:00Thank you for thanking me for my blog.

Does she have pre-menstrual problems, or is it personality (yes, daughters do take after their fathers) or has she witnessed your FW insulting you and thinks that it is ok to do that. Does she call her friends or other relatives names. She needs to be told that it is not fair or right to be abusive. You deserve better. There is much more that I want to say, to try and help you. <br />Much love<br />Susan<br />xxxsusanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12762599123725286723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2506701170343395428.post-3767523188827710752013-01-27T01:39:40.521+00:002013-01-27T01:39:40.521+00:00Thank you for your laugh-out-loud blog which I hav...Thank you for your laugh-out-loud blog which I have just discovered. Not laughing ATcher you understand, but laughing WITHyer. I admire your wit and GSOH, your resilience and strength. My dear, I have a FW of my own, and hang on to my sanity by a microthread at times. It helps to know that I'm not alone in feeling at times that I am drowning in the s**t, so thank you for your blog.<br />My darling (adult) daughter is a FW in her own right - oh those genes - or is it nurture and not nature? Not MY nurturing that's for sure (nor my genes). She lobs insults at me like it's an olympic sport and she is aiming for a gold medal. Not ordinary, run-of-the-mill insults, but ones that are directed at my soft and vulnerable parts with all the subtlety of an exocet missile. <br />The fug that you describe could be a result of stress. I, too. blamed the menopause for the fact that I was unable to think/remeber/make a decision, but I took steps to reduce the amount of stress in my life and thinking became possible again.<br />I hope you manage to keep it together, and please keep on blogging :-)Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06531886561147629729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2506701170343395428.post-41775220041328697712013-01-23T18:48:28.151+00:002013-01-23T18:48:28.151+00:00I am the Princess of the Notebook and Listmaking. ...I am the Princess of the Notebook and Listmaking. Once upon a life I could write a list and then remember everything on it even if I left it behind. Now, I can't make sense of it even whilst looking at it. <br />I hope this is just menopause fug and not an early dementia setting in! Working on the 7 year cycle my menopause should stop around 12 June 2014 (it started with a bang on 12 June 2007). <br />I still make lists and tentative meal plans just so that I can say I have some control left. <br />xsusanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12762599123725286723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2506701170343395428.post-56846751360991732732013-01-23T17:06:12.099+00:002013-01-23T17:06:12.099+00:00When I have 101 things to do and find it overwhelm...When I have 101 things to do and find it overwhelming I make a list and tick them off as they get done.<br />CarolxCarolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04332392686031711784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2506701170343395428.post-22330140249157828412013-01-23T12:12:24.208+00:002013-01-23T12:12:24.208+00:00I will try and see how to do it, take pics and upl...I will try and see how to do it, take pics and upload them and decide how to price (finding the middle way between not losing out and not overcharging). As well as vintage I have new stuff that I am not going to use (I have to be clear on this to myself, I have a lovely 24th scale kit that I want to keep for the future - and there WILL be a future some day). If the brain stays clear I will do it.<br />Thanks for your support.<br />x susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12762599123725286723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2506701170343395428.post-28613411723137306162013-01-23T11:19:23.431+00:002013-01-23T11:19:23.431+00:00Lots of us fellow bloggers have dolls houses too -...Lots of us fellow bloggers have dolls houses too - is there a way you could have a picture on here with what you are selling that we could maybe buy from you?
