Am Not Coping

[Faith-and-Hope]

Hi @soul 👋💕

@Zoe7 I had a chance to talk to a tutor today re D3.  She doesn’t need to up her Cert level to go into a diploma next year 🎉 so it looks like she will take a short course this semester, and apply for the diploma intake for next year.  I will also introduce her to the things we are learning to help prep her for that.  She came into the art studio today.  Hopefully that environment will help to whet her appetite too.

Hi @Pepsimax @soul  How are you both doing?

@Faith-and-Hope That is really good news about the course next year for D3. Has she enquired about short courses for next term yet? It is great that you can share a little of what you are doing with her too - and seeing the art studio will hopefully get her motivated herself. It must be so nice having your kids sharing in your passion and your return to study must be a motivation for them too - what a wonderful example to set Hon

Hi @Zoe7

How are you?Whats new, I have not read back through the posts. But I did see your mum lost her cat, I am so sorry... How is your Mum?

[Faith-and-Hope]

It has been a long time coming @Zoe7.  All the focus has been on industry, finance, corporate success, with my art, and therefore the kids’ art too, being seen as the stuff of hobbies and pastimes, not “real” career direction.  All this has come about through something awful, but the new direction that is stemming from it is a healing move, hopefully for all of us.

Once my hubby is sorted, we will be established on this path, and hopefully it will all come good again.

Lotsa baby steps between here and there though .....

Things are hard a lot of the time triggers @Zoe7 @Faith-and-Hope @soul are you doing DBT still

[Zoe7]

...and you are the one forging that course for you children to follow @Faith-and-Hope - despite what you have been through and continue everyday to deal with YOU are showing your kids that it is possible to pursue your dreams even if they do not align with what has previously been accepted as the path to follow. This can only enhance their beliefs in themselves as you are showing the way with believing in yourself - such a wonderful role model for both your kids - and people on here - to follow Hon
