> Kath I'm really sorry you have to deal with this issue again. Love Phillipa
~ ~ Thanks Phillipa - I think I'm still sort of in a state of shock. Thanks for your kindness.
It feels sort of like a bad dream. I guess both my son & I had been able, to some extent, to 'put it behind us'. It was like a chapter of life that was over. And now it's not over.
I'm hoping that having a baby means that she won't have the freedom to be going to this & that get-togethers. The one crappy thing is that her sister & brother used to have friends over when the parents were away for weekends. They'd do their music thing & stay the weekend. So unless exGF goes with the parents, my son won't be involved in those weekends. Unfortunately, that happened a lot during the summer; they have a pool & a lovely patio, etc, so a lot of their friends are there & really enjoy it. So there's a chance that it will have a major impact on his summer & he might have to deal with in effect, having most of his friends involved on the weekends in something he can't be! I don't even know if he's thinking of that. I am. I hope he isn't.
I guess I have to deal with this in the same way I'm trying to deal with other worries about the future. Try as best as I can to be in the "Now".
I'm glad that some really good things are happening for my son in the music area. He was already booked to 'spin' tonight at a party & then his friend phoned & asked him to come up to his place about an hour north, & join him on the online radio show that he does Friday nights. And on Wed at the club, it was arranged that son will DJ at the club in the summer & also to do a show at a new Drum & Bass event there that is being started on Sundays. Last Monday, he was on another internet radio show with the friend north of us, & he went to a studio Thursday morning to work on making music. So I'm VERY glad that positive stuff is happening for him.
Thanks for caring Phillipa. xox Kath
