Thanks Bud. Its in the heat of the moment its difficult. He's gone to bed now, or passed out pissed is probably more accurate! He really is a good lad, with a great work ethic and is just wonderful with his nieces and nephews etc....

Don't beat yourself up, coping with the unthinkable creates unthinkable ideas IYSWIM. A friend in a similar situation with her daughter has some seriously gallows humour about it all - and it helps. 'Normal' stuff and stiff upper lip don't necessarily work in 'abnormal' situations. Dunno what the professionals say!

Yeah, I think I see it as a coping mechanism for what appears to becoming inevitable, but, is it, or a "just in case", which would kind of indicate I believe there is hope? I've certainly descended into a out of family hours, mass of snot and tears too many times and probably need to speak to soemone about it? Its been cathartic to put it out there though, thanks to all.

Talk away matey. Lots of good listeners on here

Talks cheap. Free holidays FTW! Seriously though, thanks for the support everyone. I'm the go to Guy for my family and as much as I'm happy, and proud, to help, it kinda loads you up at times, so I maybe vented where I maybe shouldn't have, but I sure as shit needed to. He maybe 27 but he's still my kid. Anyway, he's asleep now and we live to fight another day. Think i'll crack open a bottle. Cheers...

Thanks for the kind offer.

Tomorrow,as they say, is another day. He seems very chipper and back to his normal self, watching me do the lawns etc.

I still think the clinical limit for termination of a pregnancy should be around 21 years....

But, seriuosly Tiepin.....good on you for having the patience to cope...

Had to read that twice

Made my first garden chair by using up some old wood. Not the prettiest I'll admit but I hope to improve as I go, but its functional!

the new splinters in your arse chair, guaranteed to have you sitting tight for hours on end!

Glad that your son is more positive again. Just because you are the go to person in your family does not mean you don't need go to people to talk to and be able to vent. Take care of yourself too and give yourself some clear headspace. Grace and peace to you and yours.

Today I delivered an apple tree! Bought to celebrate my training incumbent being made a Canon at Rochester Cathedral. Also got a fairly expensive bottle of cask strength Laphraoig for him too. So he is filled with the Spirit and Fruitful! He was really delighted and will enjoy the gifts.

Helped inflate the camping beds for the youngsters camping fun in the church garden and then headed home to celebrate my daughter getting an A* distinction for the Extended Project Qualification she submitted earlier in the year. Based on Art and Psychology and children's work. She spent hours on that project and really worked very hard. So proud of her!!

Now to finish my sermon for Sunday and then check the liturgy for the service I am leading Sunday evening. Also sorting out invitations to my ordination service on 25th Sept at Rochester Cathedral. All very exciting and humbling.

Not-very-happy-hour?

I remember popping into Claridges for a couple of pre-dinner drinks some years back. Cost almost as much as the dinner, and it we didn't go cheap on the nosebag, either.

Still, can't take it with ya.

But with current London temperatures in the mid-30s, it's worth it, eh?
