I'm so sorry it didn't go so well Autisteause. Please keep looking at refuges and any other alternatives. I like Johnny Depp's quote on crying - that people don't cry because they are weak, they cry because they have been strong for too long. I hope you can rest for a bit and take care of yourself.Well, it didn't go great. They're putting me in touch with someone who might be able to help. We're meeting more often so they can offer pastoral support, which is really kind of them. I broke down. I hardly ever cry - I was brought up to believe that it was weak and was punished for it by Him for making a noise unpleasant to him - but I just couldn't stop myself. Absolutely drained beyond belief.
Please come back soon @GoLibrarianPoo. We all miss you.
