Fear of the unknown is understandable. But believe me when I tell you that I think you've bypassed that fear. You've talked to us (relative strangers) tonight - you can make one more 'post' by telephone.
Meep, I shall sit here until 10/11/12/1/2/3/4 whatever o'clock tomorrow - please just dial the number.
I spoke to Kate and she told me that they cannot ring without 'invitation' if you like. However, if you ring her - she can help - more than me or Zoe or hitched.
Firstly.... Will all of you edit your posts to remove your e-mail addresses? Bad move for any number of reasons.
Then Ms. Meep (I meet remarkably few Beaker fans) Do what Eric says.
You've got yer dander up now.... Get things rolling before anyone has a chance to chage your mind.
Think about New Year.
You can either spend it (and hence a part of every other New Year after (New Year's like that) thinking about the fact that you sorted yourself out and started living again.... Or you can spend it regretting not doing so.
You know what you have to do.
Make someone happy (are you old enough to remember Busby?) In this case... You.
I'm having the time of my life - it took me a while to realise that I could turn the TV off - imagine! But apart from that the whole process has been seamless. ?
Yes once I thought about what I had said I think you are right, it would be wrong to spy on her poor lass. The worry took my fingers before I had thought about what they were saying.
Do they have an email service? I wonder if that would be better for her?
Just read the first couple of pages but I'd like to offer a virtual ?
Meep, hope you managed to get on the phone. I'm sure your husband may have a few redeeming qualities but I can't quite see how any will cancel out what you've said ☹️
How are you this morning, Meep? You're not invisible on here, and if you want to talk this through more, or someone to virtually hold your hand while you phone women's aid, then shout. I felt so sad for you reading your posts ?
Oh Meep, your posts have made me so sad/mad for you in equal measure. FWIW, I recognise you on hitched, you're a worthwhile human being and sound utterly lovely.
Do what Eric says, make that call, it will change your life for the better. I promise ?
Meep, I "know" you on here too - I make a point of trying to stalk all the Glasgow-ish hitchers ?
I am worried about you lovely. I am just outside Glasgow and on mat leave at the moment so free to meet up for coffee/a chat or anything with you any time. I mean that I wouldn't offer if I didn't. In the meantime, hope you are OK ?
Oh, Meep, reading this has made me sad and angry in equal measure. FWIW, I know you- your username is one of my favourites, as is your avatar- and you seem like a lovely person. I do hope you managed to make that phonecall honey.
Meep, I hope you've managed to get some sleep and you are able to take on board what the lovely insomniacs Eric and Zoe have been saying to you. You sound so sad and you don't deserve it.
I like what ONE said about being able to spend all your future new years being able to look back at this year being the year you took control and made your life better.
Totally agree with everything already said - Meep hope you are ok and have made that call.
It won't help but I was there once too, an ex had slowly cut me off from all my friends, made me feel worthless without him, fat and ugly and would never attract anyone else.
Do you know? That first step away was the hardest but I felt like the whole world had lifted from my shoulders!
And I met DH 6 months later who wasn't in the least bothered by my size and made me realise just how much my ex had done to knock any self esteem I had.
I really hope you find the courage to step away and enjoy the life you deserve to have
Another person who "knows" you Meep (and loves your avatar)
I can't add to the sound advice you've already been given. I just hope you're ok and have found the strength to make that call. A whole new year and new future is just around the corner for you and you deserve the chance to have it.
Take care of yourself. You have so many people here for you x x
