Support for all who are living with estrangement (2)

I think joannab just read your post that you never used to contribute but reading about others helped to not feel so alone mirrors my feelings.

However have dipped toe in water so to speak and thanks for kind welcome,

Wish you luck

No smileless I haven't but I have been reading threads for several weeks.

Thanks joannab that's kind of you to make me welcome.

Not sure am ready to share story but is it ok to just pop in and talk about other things?

Lovely to hear from you Smileless.

5boys3girls your post is so welcome here, it's lovely to hear from you, yes estrangement can be a lonely place to be, a very lonely place.

A new poster 5boys3girls you are welcome. I don't post on the other thread but have read yours and of course your post on here and your writing style is rather familiar. Have you posted before? Perhaps you have and I didn't see it.

Hi Minty, I share your hopes regarding the future of this thread. It can be very scary to take that step and contribute to a support forum but I feel sure, that together, as a group, along with the support of GNHQ, who I am sure will be closely monitoring, looking forwards, this support thread will be a safe place to be. It will take a few days I imagine for it to get up and running, but it will.

Well done joannab for our new thread. I look forward to all of the caring and sharing that I know will be here.

Thank you for the flowers but it's a bit too early here for me to start on the wine Madgran, a strong coffee if you have one please and we'll save the wine for later.

Exactly J .....estrangement can be an awfully lonely place to be in....and this thread will help everyone in difficult family situations. Have a nice day all xx

A fresh new day GrannyGrace and I love your three wise monkeys ???

Good Morning Goodbyetoallthat

I love your name and thankyou for your good wishes.
Maybe you might drop by again here soon, I do hope so.

Wishing you all a harmonious, supportive thread. Well done joannab for starting a clean slate. Peace and light ladies. ???

Good Morning CrazyH, The thing was, although I never used to contribute, just reading the long running support thread over the years really helped me to not feel alone and with that in mind, I so wanted it to continue.

Good luck from me too! I had no sooner posted on the last thread when it got pulled.

Thanks for opening this thread Joannab

Thankyou Maggiemaybe.

Thankyou Minty.

Good luck with the new thread.

"support, warmth and humour," couldn't agree more. I hope any grandparent who finds themselves apart from a loved one, can come here and feel 'safe' and not judged in any way.

Thank you Iam64 and wishing you well too.

Here's wishing the new thread well and hoping it provides support, warmth and humour.
