Well done Bel, you have made a start.

Don`t give up. If you don`t hear from your daughter, phone both your son and daughter and ask again to meet up with them. You will get there in the end.

You have overcome the biggest hurdle.

With love

As a daughter who is in a simular position to your children, knowing how you feel means that your only ever a phone call away, and that you can make more of an effort and also try and let you get a breather at times, please tell your children, and also what they can do to help make life more bearable for you, remember to do something nice for yourself every day,

all the very best

Well done bel. I'm so glad you've developed the confidence to talk about your feelings to your family, and the courage to post about it.

And well done Sylvia, for the encouragement you're giving bel.

And well done TP, for making it possible.

Bel, keep it up. You know your family love you, you just need to let them know you need help. Ring your daughter and tell her how you feel. I'm sure she'll help.

Love,
