Good times

[happy girl]

I'm not on here much at all anymore,for that I apologise. I'm just here to say, as I have been saying for a couple of years, life is good. I am a grandma, at 41,yikes,my eldest daughter and her partner have moved in next door to me !! All is good, my eldest baby has grown up,but she is only next door, with my grandchild, how lucky am I. My eldest daughter is my best friend, we talk constantly on the phone each day, see each other every night and go shopping every Saturday. Her partner is a lovely lad, we get on well and have no issues,he is like a son to me. I  changed jobs in Feb,still a civil servant but different role, work with 3 grumpy old men and we have a ball. My ex is still with his new partner, they have a baby boy born seriously disabled, I feel for him and the baby, my youngest brother, but I am no longer involved in THAT LIFE, but am there to support my daughter when she gets upset about her brother. I don't s/h at all. I am so glad to be alive now. I am off to Brussels for a 2 days break with my kids next week. I have maintained contact with the friends who saw me through my worst times, and those bonds have got stronger. I don't see my family. I'm not the person they knew in my latter life, the scapegoat and push over. I love them, but don't want to see them, can't go backwards, my girls are my life, and I AM MY LIFE !! I read, travel socialise, and most importantly now know who I am. I'm over my dads suicide, that was bad, but I had to go through it, the harming was just part of cooing with the hideous pain, I see that now. Hang on in there guys, it comes good with a bit of faith. Thanks as always for all your help...............and long live Blackpool FC, another passion that kept me here, we all need a passion. Hope you are all well. Karen x

Hey HG.

Just wanted you to know that I had read your post. Knowing where you have come from over the years, the posts you have made on here etc, to where you are now is phenomenal. So great to hear such a positive story. I'm confident that others will gain hope from it.

Take care.

Thanks Rob, that means a lot, you too saw me through my crazy days. I think what I really wanted to articulate, is that in some cases, many cases, depression doesn't mean forever. Sometimes, like me, it is circumstances that you can work through, with help,patience and determination. I hated being ill, hated it, I knew there was a better day. I think if everyone could have faith in that better day, and they could accept all help, and most importantly run a mile from negative influences, they have a chance. Life isn't always a bowl of cherries, but nothing has to last forever, especially not pain....
