Hi. Single mum of 4, have my kids full time. Father not in our lives thankfully.
Trying to navigate life, which is really rocky at the moment.
Trauma history.
Not really any supports in my life, so feeling really venerable and alone...

Hi there a d welcome to the forum.
It is now a better place now that you are in it.
Don't be afraid to speak about yourself to the degree you are comfortable with.
There's no judgement only love(and the occasional hug if you need one)

Hello lovely! I am going to a concert to worship my Italian heritage and see an artist who holds some very strong emotions for me.
Some beautiful, some exceptionally distressing.
I am taking my wife and two adult kids. The kids are complaining that they don't know the songs, so guess which artist has been on repeat all week.....

HAhahaha @BipolarRich ,
They don't have a choice nor a reason to say they don't know!
Sounds like a lovely event coming up for you.
I love musicals and theatre, but because I take my niblings, everything has to be kiddo friendly. The youngest is 5 years old.
Enjoy and tell us how it goes for you!

Luckily for all forum members, you can't hear my pathetic attempts to sing.
However, I know and understand all the lyrics, so I guess I am playing translation buddy.
I love embarrassing my adult kids...so satisfied when I see them cringe 😬
