@Gibbs interesting you remind me of my mum's bf when i was a preteen and she left my father for about a year. he would take us to galleries and would have cups of tea with us. his name was andrew. he broke my heart when he broke up with my mother to go back to his wife which inturn made her go bck with my father.

@greenpea no easy answer to that question. You are an amazing woman coping the way you do. You certainly need some time for yourself to get some relief from your daily grind. That I can help with anything would need some well thought out planning. You are undertaking and help is beneficial to all of us.

@Gibbs thank you for your comforting words they mean a lot. you are right when you say i need to spend time on myself. i dont know how too.... when i was studying it was the most awesome time of my life. now i cannot retain much idk my psychiatrist says i cannot study anymore ... too much damage done to the little grey cells.i want to learn sign language. i know a bit from when my middle son didnt speak.... that would be fun 😄
