Black dog gang 2..

Thank you all so much for your kindness and prayers. My DGS is autistic nonnie. Being part of a team or group often doesn’t work for him. He has interests but falling out with friends seems to be part of the difficulties autistic children go through. You have all been so kind x

Doodle another prayer here for your GC. I can't read all the way back but does he have any hobbies? Being part of a team might help.

Thanks annie

Doodle
I too will add my prayers for your DGS. The Serenity Prayer is always a good one.
God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change.
Courage to change the things I can.
And wisdom to know the difference.
Good night everyone and try and sleep well.
Dawn

Aww Doodle bless you and your lovely grandson. We worry about our children, then our grandchildren, it’s never stops. You will all be in my prayers tonight, good night sweet dreams everyone ?

aww doodle i wish i could offer words of comfort. I was bullied at school as was my son. It may not seem it but his life will improve. It just takes the right kind of friend to come along which, they will, and see him for the lovely boy he is. xxx

Joce, hang on to the positive, the GP said it can be treated x

nanny sorry I have no idea. x

Nonnie I so understand, my husband died in a car crash years ago, our daughters 5 and 7, when they started to drive
quite a few years later , gulp.

Same again when younger granddaughter passed her test , now my grandson is thinking of buying a car , same emotions x

That he loves his dog is definitely proof he has much love to give.

Please don’t apologise, you are troubled and have cause to be, talk here as often as you wish.

Yes , he will listen, always hears us . I remember reading
C S Lewis saying he talked to God but God wasn’t listening,
later he wrote ‘God was listening , I was shouting too loud at him to hear his reply. Reminds me of my shoutings up in the mountains ?

God bless dear Doodle x

Oh yes annie and a good thought that is too. He does have a very loved dog. Unfortunately, his dog is getting on in years and not too well. He loves her to bits. Another reason for my worry. Sorry. I am in a bit of a downer at the moment. Don’t want to bring others down with me. I just feel I have only one place to go now and that is to ask for help from above and hope things improve.. bless you x

Doodle a thought. Does he have a pet?

Probably not. He’s only got one or two and I think has fallen out with them. He does have other interests and friends there but it’s always touch and go as he tends to make friends with children like himself who find it difficult to maintain friendships. I just pray every day that he doesn’t fall out with them or that he makes up with them if he does. He has a lot going for him in so many ways but lacks confidence in himself. He is (in my opinion ?) very good looking, tall and slim. Just wish he’d make some good friends and keep them. Things would look up for him then I am sure. Thank you for caring.

Doodle I really do understand, the aching to want to take the stress away from a loved grandchild .

End of term this week? Children do feel tired at the end of the school year . Will he have contact with school friends during the holidays ?

Oh annie bless you and thank you. He was at home for a while but went back to school aged 11. It’s not just school although that I think is what is causing problems at the moment. He is strong but I think the constant pressure is wearing and it’s the end of school year and by the time he’s done another year I think he just gets worn out with it.
He has friends but because of the nature of his problem can fall out with them which brings more stress. He is lovely and we love him to bits. I know all kids fall out with their friends sometimes but I feel he needs them more than most. I am hoping the summer holiday brings some respite but he doesn’t feel good about himself at the moment. You more than many will know what it is like to have someone you care for feeling down. I thank you for your kindness in praying for him when you have so much sadness of your own to cope with.

Doodle he has been in my prayers since you first shared your concerns for your Grandon.

Is homeschooling out of the question?

How can the school keep ignoring this , it’s brutal

Sorry nanny no. I hope you are happy with Coco.
I am in the black pit tonight. My DGS is finding life hard again and I worry for him and his mum and dad.
annie if you read this, can I ask you once again to join me in a prayer for his safety and lifting of his spirits. I only have one hope and that is that God in his mercy will help them.
I pray each night for all of you that you too may know some peace.

doodle your reply made me cry she will have a new tree. Does anyone know how much it is to hire a private detective?

Thank you Nonnie don’t think anyone has but hay ho..

I also worry about my nearest and dearest but only since the death of our son. They are very supportive though and always let me know when at the airport or wherever . They keep in touch a lot by WhatsApp, just short messages or photos. I think it is because I had no idea my son was going to die so there is always the thought that this could be the last time I see them. I check DH is still breathing when I wake in the night too.

Annie I understand how scary that must have been because I once had a scan and was told to come back next day because she couldn't find my ovary. Yes, I believed her. The 'senior colleague' did the scan the next day and said "it might not be cancer" which was a shock as I had no idea that was what they thought. It wasn't but it was scary. I was rather hoping they didn't say such stupid things these days but clearly I was wrong.

joce no suggestions about how to change that, just sympathy.

Salsa I don’t think that has help me I get so fed up with this horrible scared feeling. Hopefully it will pass soon..

Oh salsa. You and me both. I worry about my lot day and night. I am a founder member of the “what if” brigade. I really wears you down doesn’t it.
joce. Feeling scared for whatever reason is not nice. Hope your spirits lift as the day goes on.

Joce345 are you feeling scared about the protein found in your urine? There's no point in worrying (easy for me to say, I know) until the results/treatment has been sorted out. Whatever the cause, it can be dealt with.

I have anxiety, too, but mine is always about the family - what if such and such happens, etc.

No it does matter it’s not a lump.. but it’s still upsetting for you Annie the silly woman. It does make me angry when thinks like this happens I have had similar thing happen in the past.. there little wonder I am like I am with HA .

Morning all.. feeling scared this morning hope it passes soon

Sparkle I am so angry now , I certainly didn’t ask the radiologist, she just said ‘you have a lump’.

The GP gave me the results, arthritis in knee, hip, bottom of spine, already have it in both hands. I said ‘what is the cause
of the lump ?, she said ‘what lump? There is no lump’. So I said ‘the radiologist said after the ex rays I had a lump and to ring for results in two weeks’ , GP just said ‘did she’ , well you have not got a lump you have arthritis ‘.

Anyway, what matters is no lump, no 20 miles to have a biopsy on the lump which thank God I don’t have . ?

I agree Nonnie..

Annie what a wind up, them telling you that! I bet your nice GP had a word with them after...

Morning everyone...

Thank you Doodle. You are right I know it’s just me being me.. good night sleep well
