She did take the suitcase so she must have planned it.
She did take the suitcase so she must have planned it.I think Betsy staying extra nights is bullshit, I think it was planned, she has a fit if she can’t find a certain top or bikini let alone not have enough clothes packed.
I know she could go shopping but I think it’s crap, it’s school holidays and hotels are booked up weeks in advance.
My child was born in august and friends are not a year older, some sore a couple of months older and others a month or 2 younger ... if betsys friends are a whole year older it’s cos B chose to be friends with older people and not the ones she went to school withIs Betsy an August baby? Are all her friends nearly a year older? Don’t think Rach has ever mentioned that before
The fact she went in to T and starts rabbiting on about queen Betsy is disgusting... errrmmm what about T I’d she went would you even miss her Rachet?Just watched her storiesShes pathetic. What does she think she's raising her kids for if not to prepare them to go off into the world (actually, don't answer that!!) Love how brutal T was
Not if you go by school year September- August She can have friends in her school year born in September/October, meaning they are nearly a year older than herMy child was born in august and friends are not a year older, some sore a couple of months older and others a month or 2 younger ... if betsys friends are a whole year older it’s cos B chose to be friends with older people and not the ones she went to school with
Thank you, I'm immensely proud of the man he has become XYour son sounds a remarkable young man and clearly your constant love has helped you both come through what must have been such a heartbreaking time in your life. Sending lots of warm thoughts from someone who has been there and come out the other side. I had a breakdown 20 years ago and my ex and his partner were amazing , the kids went to stay with them while I was in hospital , brought them to see me when I was more stable and told the kids every day that mum loved them and needs a rest to get better. I don’t think we’d have got through it all without such an understanding ex and also his partner ( who is now his wife.)
I was so very close to the same decision and even discussed it with her father she wasn’t much older than your son, so I totally understand. I hope things are brighter now and for what it’s worth I think you did the right thing for both of you. You can’t pour from an empty cup x (edited to add no one makes the same judgements of men!)When my son was 3 I moved out and left him in the very capable hands of his father. I was very ill and struggling to keep myself alive let alone anyone else. Mental health has such a sledgehammer impact that sometimes you have to walk away from everything else to be able to get yourself better.
I however kept in touch, paid child support etc and knew what was going on in his life.
When I was better his father & I decided he should stay with him full time as he was settled, in school and doing well. At the age of 14 he choose to come and live with me. I've explained why he didn't live me, why I left and he gets it. He's 21 now and says he'd rather have had me around a few years later than. Not at all (dead). Because that's what it would have likely come to had I not stepped away.
These decisions don't come lightly. It was so fucking hard and I still live with the guilt years later. But I did what was best for both me and my son.
Her portrayal of her mother and her choices upsets me greatly and if I thought my son was spouting the shit she is about the situation I'd be heartbroken and probably back on that suicide intrusive thoughts train.
Every time she brings it up it makes me feel so uncomfortable. She's so thoughtless and self obsessed.
As a mother sometimes we have to make very very hard choices. These decisions don't come flippantly and the worry & guilt that you've ruined your child's life if so very real and deep it never leaves even when your child as an adult tells you that you did the right thing.
I don't hate PTWM, I feel sorry for her that she lacks complete empathy.
I swear they’ve been talking as if she’s going to uni soon for about three yearsBetsey has just under another year at college and if her A’Levels go well she’ll be off to university a year in September.
Get used to it Rachel and don’t hold her back for your own selfish needs.
not to defend R, but i’m an end of august birthday and my best friend is beginning of september (literally 5 days!) - she was in the same school year as me even though there’s nearly a year between us save a couple of days.My child was born in august and friends are not a year older, some sore a couple of months older and others a month or 2 younger ... if betsys friends are a whole year older it’s cos B chose to be friends with older people and not the ones she went to school with
I was just thinking the same! Unless the school system is different elsewhere. I'm in Scotland and it goes March to February so February birthdays were always the youngestMy child was born in august and friends are not a year older, some sore a couple of months older and others a month or 2 younger ... if betsys friends are a whole year older it’s cos B chose to be friends with older people and not the ones she went to school with
