decided to update my goal :) Mood
Monday, March 24, 2008

well this past month has been very blurry but very good.

i havent actually cut in 18 days, and i havent even thought about it either.

its amazing.

 

but now. my stepmum and dad have split up after 12 years of marriage, and 3 years of being together prior to that.

 

i feel like i have just had a tonne boulder dropped onto my shoulders, and im trying to resist the temptation to cut so bloody much!

 

im a bit in a daze about whats happened between them, because everything seemed fine. i mean i know it hit my dad hard when i moved out but i didnt realise it affected him this much.

 

he went to australia to work for 3 months, and when he got back he just basically went to my stepmum "its not going to work anymore, ive changed too much and i cant cope with our relationship"

and she reckons their relationship was fine.

i just dont understand this at all.

its actually baffled me completely.

 

lets just hope i stay strong.

 

and btw.

ITS SNOWING!!!!! at the end of march, it is snowing. we dont get snow in the winter so i dont know what its doing here now!

 

im off now. little rant over.

    sometimes when parents split up it is just the difference between each other andi do not want you to blame yourself at all about them breaking up iam in the end things will work they may be the same as they were before but you will adjust it just takes time

    It is sooo hard to see your parents split up. The length of time that they were together was quiet long. Even if she is not your biological mom, it still would be hard. Cutting is never the answer. Talking to friends is. So also can be writing about how you feel. Me.... I often write poetry, to help me deal with how I feel. If you ever feel so inclined to join, we have a poetry group going on the depression site. Ask me if you are interested, and I will ask the founder if she could invite you in.

    HUGS! Linda aka Testycatlady

    Thanks linda, i wrote a few songs to get it out of my system and its helping at the minute.
    i used to live with them so she was my mum for many years and i still call her mum.
    and i dont really write poetry so its a bit useless for me but thanks :)
