It was a mind screw. I feel so bad for younger generations. My son’s generation was just obliterated. The younger kids their education was obliterated. I could take it. I had some hairy mental health moments but I could take it . It is what it did to my son that just killed me. I am so so so happy to see him coming back into himself .

I had a memory come up in FB , we had 734 days of Covid restrictions in our province. It was gruelling just gruelling . The restrictions ended 2 years ago on the 21st . My son is just starting to recover. A few weeks ago he started laughing and smiling again.

For sure . I have had about 5 and my husband has had 8. I am sure you can remember the one from almost 2 years ago. She isn’t doing herself any favors. She was out driving today to meet with my step sister . I told her to stay home and not watch TV or her phone and just close her eyes.

My mom went to the doctor yesterday and she has soft tissue damage to her shoulders from the seat belt and she has a concussion.

It was horrifying . I don’t know how I got through that day. I have only seen him once since I was 16. It was his mother’s funeral ( my grandmother). I was 35. He is now 69. He is my father’s little brother and only 12 years older than me . I know I was not his only victim. He has been abusing people since he was a child himself.

Thank you so much .

I am glad I will finally have a voice after 44 years. Hopefully I can help make a difference for people experiencing the justice system. I was treated as the criminal and wasn’t allowed any support in the courtroom at 14. My parents were purposely kept out of the courtroom and they allowed me to be questioned by my own abuser as he was representing himself at discovery. The whole experience brought shame and made me a further target and I was stalked by the person for another 3 years despite having an order of protection/ restraining order that my parents obtained. He would stand just beyond the distance required and nothing could be done . We had to leave the province to get away from his endless harassment .

They returned my email and are willing to start with an initial phone interview in early April.

Thanks for the information. I will keep it in mind for when I am retired and have a lot of time for fundraising.

I am sorry you aren’t feeling well. I am glad you had a great time with your son . It is so so nice to be with our kids . It feels like heaven.

The county health dept has set up an emergency vaccination clinic for measles. I was with my mom yesterday and helped her get her car into the collision repair facility and into her rental car and got her medications and her earring aids cleaned and working . Then had dinner with her and came home . I have pulled a muscle in my back while packing . 🥴

There are two active cases of measles in two adults in our community ( the adjacent civie town)

No, he isn’t wrong and he can’t read minds . If you were interested you should have said so. It is time to get past him.

I can be a big talker in person but it doesn’t make me insecure.

I hope I get a chance to be heard and help .

I think I am at the strongest mental state I have ever been in my life. And this is a great opportunity to use it to help others and hopefully make a difference and further empower myself as well. I didn’t get heard all those 4 decades ago in a way I needed to be so maybe now.

Does the link work in Canada as I am Canadian . It was an appeal to survivors I saw on the news last night so I am sure many saw it .

Thank you . I hope I can make a difference to others.

Thank you . ❤️ I sent my email tonight and hope they give me the chance .

The ombudsman for Sexual Violence and the Justice System is holding consultations with victims to help affect change in the Justice System. I have composed an email requesting to be considered for consultation. I feel I am at a strong mental health position in my life and hopefully I can help with my story. I think it would feel good to be able to hopefully affect change and save someone the pain I went through with the justice system. I feel I am strong mentally to make this stand.

I am not saying that, but what I am saying is the safety nets are not the same everywhere.

In the US and Canada loans don’t appear automatically from the government though there is a formula to receive and how much and you start paying when you leave the institution not when your income reaches a threshold. My son had to pay back his loans with no job. They literally don’t care just pay the money back. I paid my student loans back for 10 years.

For sure ! I hope your mom is ok!

Dude walk away now. Seriously, personal insults, breaking doors, and glassware is abusive. Straight up abusive . You need to leave this relationship. Period.

Absolutely. I know I have suffered for decades from my father’s crappy most of the time absent parenting to his down right abusive and neglectful parenting. It isn’t great when you have Home Depot parents ( never around and never helpful ). And yes , at 18 you may be a legal adult but 99% are poorly equipped for life at this point and still need parents. Parenting never ends until they put you in the box.
