Fragile

@rav3n I have seen many different family dynamics….some are quick and there is a lot of movement, and the give and take may not be truly reactive. Ah yes… and what is responsive. Lol

my family… maybe I should rephrase that.., and admit I don’t have a family. I only have a son.

maybe I am embracing the real feelings, and see the real situation, so I can release and live each day.

thanks for chatting.

@Appleblossom even if it's just you and your son, that's still counts as family i reckon. 

do you consider the people you play music/sing with a chosen family? 

[Appleblossom]

I care about them @rav3n and try and keep my eyes on the ball…lol… or music score… lol…yep used to be a bit sporty and care about teamwork.

I know family is meant to connote many positive qualities, but maybe I need to be careful about the concept as it can also tap into lots of past trauma.

Dear @tyme @my step daughter liked calling welfare checks on my nephew and son. They were not relevant. I also have worked in 2 other mental health spaces where I am dealing with the fallout of the excessive reliance on the crisis approach to suicidality. It would be great if Sane uses its advocacy power to improve things. I believe things have gone backwards from when my brother and sister took their lives in the 80s and 90s. I have reeeeaallly had too much experience. I did train in alt2su…. Just one of my many trainings. The crisis approach is sheer idiocy… we need more sanctuaries…. In real life. Victoria is behind NSW and Tassie.

really good to reconnect… even though it is about deadly serious stuff.

No, let's keep this convo going. It's important. I have to log off now, but will come back to it @Appleblossom
