@MJG017 don't get cramp in your toes, that's just painful 😂.
Thanks for the vote of confidence, I only wish I had a bit of confidence in myself.
Just wish this was one situation that would disappear but it's literally going to be lifelong 😞

No, i imagine that's quite painful. Cramping piggies!
You've made it this far, that certainly seems like it must have taken a hell of a lot! I'm sorry this other situation isn't something more resolvable. It must be so difficult knowing it's will be there for a long time. Life is just sometimes so much harder than people deserve. I'm sorry you have to deal with that. It's not even close to fair.

@MJG017 we have both been dealt a pretty sh!tty life which sucks big time, but yet we show up every day and try to do the best we can.
It's not even myself that I worry about so much in this situation but it's what I have to do to protect others. Just another thing I can't explain on here.

Yeah. It doesn't seem to give us much choice does it. 😢
It's a massive burden to take on if we have to protect others. But it says a lot about us as well. Surely that eventually has to count for something in this life!

@MJG017 no it really doesn't.
It's just a fear of failure that i have, I don't want to let these people down. I'm trying to do everything in my power to protect them. Maybe one day it will count for something.

I do understand that fear of failing someone. But I've also realized that we we need to look after ourselves a bit as well to best help others. But i know its hard to do that with that fear of letting them down.

@MJG017 in this situation they come before me and always will. I do what I have to do regardless of the cost it comes at to me.

Obviously i don't know anything about it but I trust that you are doing what you need to do and you have very good reasons. So we can leave it at that.
I should head off to bed I guess. Are you okay? Well, apart from everything else.

@MJG017 I think I'll be ok for the night, well i hope so. I'll try to get some sleep myself soon.
I hope you can get some sleep, thanks for chatting to me tonight.

No problem at all. Thanks for keeping me company as well. I hope you manage to get some sleep and tomorrow brings a win or two for you.
