I can’t cope

[Captain24]

I guess you didn’t have time @AuntGlow. It doesn’t matter. I’m giving up for the night. 

[AuntGlow]

Wow! It looks like you were on such an adventure, those pictures are amazing @Captain24! 🤩

I apologise for my delay and appreciate you checking in - I had a few things to attend to (like groups a bit earlier and some more training), but would love to chat now. 

What have you been up to this evening? 💛

Hey @Captain24 ! I just your account of today! Thanks for sharing, esp the photos!

I'm sorry to hear about your bro and how he has been 'used' (?) Not sure if that is the right word. There are some things we'll never understand. At least he has reached out to your mum and not you this time.

The day seem truly increible. The scenes and photos are breath taking! 

I'm sure you're buggered now?

[Captain24]

She left him because he didn’t go with her to the appointment to get the cancer cut out. He had to work. I guess someone had to pay the bills @tyme 

But once again he is now the main focus and can do no wrong. 

It was a good day. Mum fell off the seat on the scenic railway train! I just laughed as I nearly did too. It was pretty cool. 

Im exhausted. Lots of stairs and steep inclines. My legs and back are sore! Mums going back to the waterfall with her good camera to take photos. We go through the mountains all the time but never stop so next time she will. You don’t need to go into scenic world to see it. 

We want to go to the Jenolan caves when it reopens and the Wellington caves. Dad won’t do it so it’s easy he can stay home with the dogs. 

Did you get much done today? 

[Captain24]

I’ve just been watching some tv and gave the dogs a bone. @AuntGlow 

It’s ok I know everyone is busy. It doesn’t matter.

I'm sorry you feel that your mum treats him as the golden child. I know I've probably asked this, but do have you ever spoken to your mum directly about this and how it makes you feel?

I wonder if your mum just 'expects' that you'll always be around, whereas he wont, and that's why she says those things?

After reading why your bro's partner left... I have a slight inkling that she may return. It sounds like a possibly rash, emotional decision... anyway, we'll wait and see.

Guess what? I got the last sticky note sorted! I've only got one new task on a new sticky note and I'll tackle it tomorrow. I feel totally on top of things.

As for your mum falling off the seat, firstly, I have to say I'm glad she wasn't hurt. But I also have to say that laughter is better than medicine! I'm glad you had an awesome time.

I reckon connecting with Country can really ground us. @Captain24 

[Captain24]

No I haven’t spoken to her but he doesn’t contact her so when he does she goes over the top. She told him that he was her priority over any girlfriend and she will sort it when we go on holidays. It was kinda nice to hear her being supportive. @tyme. It did make me wonder whether she felt that way about me too. 

She just expects me to always be there. She was for Nan and I think it’s just expected to be handed down. 

Yay for the sticky note and only one thing left! That must feel good and I’m glad you feel on top of things. I hope tomorrow goes well too. Any plans?? 

It was really grounding. Just taking it all in. 

[tyme]

Makes sense @Captain24 . I guess mother's boy will always be, just like a 'daddy's girl'? My youngest fiery niece here is defo 'daddy's girl'. He can't even discipline her or tell her off because he MELTS....

Yes, feeling on top of things has been so good. The best I've felt in a long time. At least I don't have to walk around looking like I have a sitcky note burden on my head!

All I had to do was remember you and get that last task ticked off!

Before you go back to work, perhaps consider another day trip??? They will be times to remember in the future.

[AuntGlow]

What have you been watching? @Captain24 

Aw, I am sure they enjoyed that! 🐶🦴

I know, we have been a bit busy, which I can understand is frustrating... but we are still here and thinking of you. 

What have you been able to do for yourself today? Any little glimmers? ✨

[Captain24]

I’m so glad you are feeling better. @tyme. I’m glad that I’m helping. You are in my head a lot too when I’m trying to do stuff. 

Actually Jynx was in my thoughts today. They would have loved what I walked through and the scenery I saw. 

I don’t have time for another day trip. I have appointments everyday until I go back. Except for tomorrow and it’s suppose to be raining anyway. Plus money is a massive problem right now. Huge!!! It’s really stressing me out. 

He is definitely a mummy’s boy. Always has been and he is the baby. She wanted more but they both nearly died when he was born so she couldn’t have anymore
