I reckon that anyone who gets through that one deserves a big gold star and a free something.....steak knives maybe??:) There's so much caught up in men working - enough for a book I reckon!! And in my opinion, it's just not fair that they've gotta work and pay for all the stuff just cause their lumpy bits are in different regions!! The first thing my mum says everytime we have a fight is "He should go off to work!" I beg to differ. We've really had to work hard on not working!!! Not in the more expected ways anyway, with 6 young children we're never not working really.....I'm gonna have to go on a rant about human animal sovereignty on here soon, cause I reckon we're the most domesticated animals on the planet, and we could all use a lot more slack and time to just BE!! And not have to mortgage our souls for a home..... Anyway, nice to make your acquaintance on here Earthdrummer, and look forward to your posts!Hellenanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3887847079702315563.post-40281819656434058592011-08-18T22:50:16.314+10:002011-08-18T22:50:16.314+10:00Hellena......I've read & read, and have fa...Hellena......I've read & read, and have fallen in love with your tribe!! Thank you for sharing your life and I hope I can soon begin the blog journey and begin writing again about similiar feelings, joys, and rantings!! You are inspiring!! I've been with my man for 24 years, and the trap of "me time" is truly that: a trap! I now am so very sad that he is away daily and not spending time on his dream. We are working on that...loving and fighting, dreaming and creating; together, not seperate!!<br /><br />Blessed Be SiSTar!!<br />KellyEarthdrummerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16844734109596298102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3887847079702315563.post-81001781414733936952011-08-15T17:34:48.817+10:002011-08-15T17:34:48.817+10:00Hey Ariad, I absolutely love that we seem to be on...Hey Ariad, I absolutely love that we seem to be on the same groove about stuff, and that you linked to this post....I think you're amazing:) Love you too Ellie:) Thanks for the feedback Louise, and I've seen stories similar to yours a lot in my time....glad you dug it, and huge bravo for doing the homeschooling thing as a single mum:) Unfurlings, I can totally relate, we feel like a mobile zoo a lot of the time, and it's sooooooooo wonderful to connect with other folk who see life in similar ways, even more special to come across other families who do family like us! And rainblissed, thanks:) And Clairity thank you! And what a wonderful comment to make. I've been trying to forgive myself for all sorts of things for years and years, so if some of that can rub off and help other folk do the same I'm wrapped....and you have no idea how having a receptive audience getting into what I write is unlocking all sorts of stuff for me! I reckon I'll just keep going:) Thank you one and all, for all your inspirationHellenanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3887847079702315563.post-72445113498702900942011-08-12T12:51:17.518+10:002011-08-12T12:51:17.518+10:00Well, least important first - the photos are prett...Well, least important first - the photos are pretty damn relevant to me.<br />Mostly, I want to say that reading you is unlocking something for me.<br />I'm able to start forgiving myself for things I didn't realize I was holding against me.ClairityBehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07310246782698118797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3887847079702315563.post-32705678023848833442011-08-12T00:00:22.968+10:002011-08-12T00:00:22.968+10:00I, too, am skeptical of "space".

I love the way we live but sometimes we feel a little alone with it.

However my man listened to the personal space mantra and we grew apart further and further and separated after 23 years, I am now a single mamma and he has so much space his kids don't hardly know him. However the boys and I are still living the close homeschooling life I always wanted and yes we do it as a single parent family. <br />This is my first visit to yours but I will be back.<br />Love and Light<br />LouiseLouisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05526747028900637503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3887847079702315563.post-42303016863263648792011-08-11T15:31:29.825+10:002011-08-11T15:31:29.825+10:00Hope it's ok, I linked to this post on my blog...Hope it's ok, I linked to this post on my blog.Ariadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10664753428007951602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3887847079702315563.post-28022681966937278802011-08-11T15:04:43.053+10:002011-08-11T15:04:43.053+10:00Ah, Hellena, I love your posts!

It wasn't because we were co-dependent but because we truely loved each other and enjoyed being together. And it was when we no longer spent our time together, when he got a job, when we got a mortgage that it all started unravelling. Thanks for putting into words what I always felt.<br />xAriadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10664753428007951602noreply@blogger.com
