@Faith-and-Hope I know our situations are diiferent - as are everyone's here - but just like @Owlunar I so admire who you are and what you are doing for your family - against enormous obstacles. That is one of our biggest differences - you are 'keeping it together' for your family but I only have myself! It does get really hard when you are alone!

It is hard sometimes to get across when writing what one means - what I was trying to say is that I understand that sometimes we all need a 'break' from each other - a little distance even for a while - whether that be for our own personal needs or when someone else is becoming too over-reliant on someone - I just didn't want you to feel this was the case or there was any pressure on you - because that is the exact opposite to what I would want. I still don't think I am explaining myself well here - as I said - not in a good headspace to be thinking!!!

ps - if you left and returned under a new name and avatar I would DEFINITELY know it was you
