@redwellyfeats Love to you Emma. How are you?

well whaddya know; things get *really hard* once a whole load more water has gone under the bridge

@PedallingSolo Big love to you solo! How are things.

@fosterdadkeith Things get tougher, yet I think we get widlser and mostly more attuned an accepting of it all. Trauma is infections, though 💛

@mumdrah Sorry it’s so difficult for you, sending hugs and love

@Ithakas1 Just say no.

Those days when the headteacher asks for a word and you just cry. At least he was empathetic. #adoption #trauma

@AquilaPipp1e Yes! That too. "ooo where will the scissors be I wonder"... Right where I put them!!!

Do you know how many toilet rolls you use in a child free home each week? ONE.

@Redana_68 I bet you also have more forks than you knew.

My daughter went off to Uni on Saturday. The mug cupboard is full to overflowing. I’m not saying the 2 things are related but it’s a possibility. 🤔

@I_am_peevee Exactly!

@methreeandhe Do i even have a washing machine!

@mumdrah I bet your laundry is minimal too

@ElaineAmy_ My electricity bill is also less than half. Much less than half. Like I am 290 quid in credit less than half. In six weeks.

@carrieprimary Not all help is helpful.

@GayAdoptionDad There is no measure to the depths of this toughness. Every time you think it's as tough as it can get, something proves there is more to come. Huge love to you 💖

Hubby and I are nearly broken through tiredness & weariness of everything that last 18 months has thrown our way. Literally on our knees at the moment. Never felt anything like it & of course normally the holidays away together and apart are our recovery time. Cruise in 45 days

@janodo36 Thank you!

@mumdrah Beautiful 🌹💜

To find learning in the loss...

New members of the household

It's a long game.

@TamsinHunkin I have a small bit growing waiting list and have added you to it. This makes my heart glow and helps me know how many to print x

Mostly keeping sane through poetry and swimming in rivers for the last few years. Mostly the poetry is informed by trauma parenting. I wonder - now I've broken my silence - if I should start posting here? I'm in IG as @katieandcrow

@TamsinHunkin Oh wow, this is such a compliment 😍
