I posted a couple of days ago about a phone call I had received. Well I am going to do something I am not very comfortable with yet but ask you all to support me over next few hours. I have to make a couple of phonecalls this evening to establish whether my sis*** is in this country. Not feeling very strong at the moment, in fact don't even know I have the courage to pick up the phone.
Other than a small amount of contact 20months ago I have had no contact for years - my choice I could not take anymore of the physical/emotional and in the past sex*** abuse she has dished out at me since the day I was born. The fact that she lives abroad has helped but the thought of her even being in this country - well it is not good.
I know if I don't make the call the no knowing will be worse - but sh*t this is so hard
Is it so wrong just to want a few hours without my head and body aching with the pain of the past. I am so close to the bottom of the spiral I have no strength left to face this alone.
Can't belive I have just written all this - but for once in my life I know I need others around me.
I really don't know what to say cos I'm crap at this, but hang on in there, your a strong person, and I believe in you, I dont know you, but I know the pain you suffer daily, take care, and know that I care about you and have you in my thoughts, If I could do anymore I would!
Good to see you posting again. Just know you are not alone with all this. Whatever you post there are lots of us here who will reach out and be there for you, be there with you to help you through this.
Why don't you make the phone call and then post again to let us know what happened? Just a thought.
I think you're right in that if you don't make the call you will never know whether your sis is in the uk and the not knowing may well be worse than knowing and then planning on how you will cope with it.
Hang in there my friend and know that I'm thinking about you.
Boy your going through such a rough time, but we are all with you, standing all around you to hold you up and carry you through this really bad time!

hi numb It's ten hours since your post and I'm hoping you are okay. Just remember we're all behind you- here for you if you need. I'm sending strong supportive vibes out to you. Lark
Mel, I want to say "Ditto" to what everyone else has said here. It sounds to me like you're getting tired of being the one left out of the picture, it certainly leaves you disadvantaged, not only because no-one is validating you, but because you don't get any information to help you make an informed decision. Liz is right, not knowing can definitely be worse than knowing.
I just wanted to let you know that I'm proud of you.
And I'm sending kudos to your girlfriend for telling you about this - that sounds like something a real friend would do.
Hang in there. J.
