Yes thank you for your concern.
I realised which I have not mentioned that my mother likes to stretch the truth over days and it can take this long to get a emotional answer out of her, and I believe it is because she is affraid to give in to my fathers feelings because this is something she has never done. I say this because I feel so bad now and is why I posted for help that this meeting probably should have happened on sunday but is arranged for tuesday. My brother and mother spoke and I told my brother it should be atleast on sunday but he and mum agreed on tuesday I know my time and knew this would be a long stretch to make it happen in regards to my feelings and emotion.
We will see tomorrow when we are together where everyone sits

Anne please take care. Here you are trying to support others and saying nil about whatever your own struggles are. Why don't you do an "Anne & Loopy blog" post and put us in the picture, please?
@Troubled_One have you heard we are having a virtual bonfire together to keep us safe through the night? We'd love you to join us , can you please bring something like marshmallows to toast? I think Anne's speciality is homemade scones
Kindest regards,
Kristin

@kristinhahaha yes I could make some ginger bread men 😛 When is this virtual bonfire?
@PeppiPattyI hope you are ok. I want you to know that with out you I possibly would not have even thought about calling my brother and I think you came at the right time 🙂
I am fine, our family spoke today about trust and we were all there to talk about it. I feel a bit weird still like maybe there is something I am missing or something I have not yet caught a grasp on but I am hopeful for the future now to turn out better.

Hey @Troubled_One
Thanks so much for sharing your wonderful news with us. When family dynamics take a big step forward it can feel quite surreal can't it? That's a great first step as a family, and no doubt yuo'll all need to work on not allowing old and unhelpful ways of relating to slip back in. But you know it is possible to take a different approach and that is such a gift. Bravo to you because without your courage it doesn't sound like it would have happened!
It's also lovely of you to encourage Anne and to see how much she helped you to make this step. I hope she is travelling better today. @PeppiPatty how are you my friend?
Gingerbread sounds very yummy. Hmmm virtual bonfires happen whenever we feel the need. I would love us to be able to gather together around a real one!
Hope for more open and caring family dynamics endures...
Kindest regards,
Kristin
