Just been on our first day trip

Only just got back, went to the seaside.
Got a car now.
Haven’t driven for ages.
It was really good.
Kids loved it.

This really made me smile.
What a positive moment for you and your kids 🙂
Freedom baby!

Thankyou Blankcanvas.
I’m still buzzing off it, really need to get to sleep!!
My youngest is asleep next to me, he has started sleeping in my bed a couple of times a week.
It’s so nice and comforting.
I love waking up next to him.

Amazing well done! I’ve booked a weekend away soon, first one since getting out and my brain is so anxious it’s thinking of every excuse not to go, so posts like this help remind me why i need to push through. Here’s to many more for you! x

Thanks Bananaboat,

The anxiety is difficult to get through, but once you get packed, start the car, it disappeared for me.
It is a mentality thing.
At one point, my youngest threw up in the car and the sat nav took me down a dirt track with nowhere to turn around.
Luckily I was over halfway there or else I’d have turned around.

Look forward to your break and I know you will enjoy it xx

I went on my (detail removed by Moderator) solo trip not that long ago and couldn’t believe I did it without my Ex-abusive husband, who used to call me ‘dumb’. Well, I’d rather be ‘dumb’ than abusive. I hope you have many more happy trips away.
