Good morning, @Exoplanet. Lovely to see you in real time too today. That patient lady seems like a most wonderful addition to your life. The GP sounds pretty good too. So glad you are taking care of your health in that way. Car half packed sounds very promising for the camping trip!

@outlander Just to do with father’s day. Mum & partner calmed me down a bit on the phone. Was stressing a bit over financials as well.

@saturnzoon Autism is so hard for anyone not in the know to appreciate how it affects the parents. I think I read somewhere once that the dad's of autistic children are most likely to leave the family leaving the mum being the primary carer more so than any other family with disabled children.
One only has to see on the news how it affects families. My ex came home with my son yesterday and mentioned my son's weight gain and it was like an explosion ... Bang!! my son was off self harming and all we could do was sit there until he had calmed down. My daughter whispered to me 'I am just waiting for it all to end'.
You have my sympathy. Believe me I know what you are going through. Love greenpea

Yes it is tricky. I also don’t know who my father is so brings back quite a bit @outlander yep on one single income it ain’t fun and it’s worse paying off past debt. Feel like sometimes ok since I said no to being treated that way...I am punished...I look where a lot of people spend their money...
some are building new kitchens... then complaining they have no money. I have about 15 grand in debt from
past & with my car but for me that’s more than enough. Once food, rent, bills, debt and buying basic essential needs -there isn’t much left... sometimes I am broke sometimes I have money but sometimes I can barely even afford to buy milk... every week is different. Wouldn’t go back to that though regardless of my financials. Sometimes I borrow money from parents but always pay back when I am desperate
