Liz.
More like Kevin the teenager to be honest,

Thought I´d seen the last of teenage tantrums when my daughters left home.

Thanks for your support.
sad thing is, he knows that he is clinically depressed, because the doctor told him so 12 months ago, but he refuses all treatment & says he is dealing with it.
He´s not!!!! & to be honest, neither am I.

yes, it's time for us to learn to be our own person! my precious daughter suffered for many years, thankfully she is coming out of that dark tunnel, but I kept saying, think, ME, ME, ME, and now we laugh as I call her mimi, haha. don't allow yourself to be a doormat.!

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, Jean, so hang on in and things will get better.

Wisechild, I empathise with you, I have one here who if he doesn't grasp a situation or whatever, or I don't agree with him when he is being bigoted and racist, I get the temper tantrum, it's like a child kicking off, but I can't stick him on the naughty step, much as I'd love to lol

It's his house so I can't tell him to leave but one of these days.....

Strength to all with problems

Wisechild, my heart goes out to you.

Don't let him stop you from expressing your own opinion about things.

Stay strong and remember that a lot of your friends suport you.

Take care

Jean, your mantra should be "I have the power!" because you do have the power to change your own life. Don't let anyone take it away from you.

You have already decided to ive your life as you want to live it.

Go for it, in both big and small ways.

frank, hes stayed away, had no phone calls. he will be waiting for me to ring him, in the past i did ring him to ask about his health. but that wont be happening this time he will have to cope alone with his health. i found some money he had left, have wrote a cheque, posted it to him. so he has nothing to call round for.
