Today I was brave

That's very brave MCG but also so very sad too. Hope all is well with you now x

Purplepoppies you are not just brave you are a warrior too. Thank goodness there are strong women like you. You have put yourself on the line for all of us. I have lost count of those who have whispered behind their hands but will not stand up to be counted. Professionals too. Good luck and take care of yourself. Please let us know the outcome.

When I was 20 I walked out on a bullying and abusive aunt who brought me up, and never went back.

PP Well done any support you need is here for you x

Purplepoppies, well done! Just a reminder that, should you need it, we are here for support.

Poopy you are brave, I wish you all good things x

Nannarose that's wonderful. Strong role models can be really important.
I have learned that they aren't always family in my case, but important non the less. ?

Well done Poppy

I know, though fortunately not at first hand, the pain of holding on to a 'bad secret'. It saps energy from you, energy which I hope will now be directed into better things.
My own triumph is built on that of my parents and their families, that I have been able to lead a happy & fulfilled life and bring my children up well. I never underestimate the effort that takes.

I'm not in Essex Ellan. It didn't happen there either.
I know this is just the start and the outcome may be disappointing. But I finally spoke up. I can let go so to speak.
Thank you for your messages ?

Well done Purplepoppies,are you in Essex by any chance ? Just a thought.

Good for you.

Well done poppy. Hope you feel the better for it. I did the same a long time ago now. Mixed feelings as it brought pain but on balance best thing I ever did. Good luck to you.

Well done ?purplepoppies
I hope it all turns out well for you.
