Hi @hiddenite
I know we (us moderators) can sound like a bit of broken record with asking these same questions. But are you safe? We worry when we see you write stuff like 'I give up.'.

Sorry to hear that this decision has been made. I know you must be scared and hurting. Hang on for your girls. It won't be forever time moves on (even if it feels so slow). Take some things with you, a blanket, what ever you can to help you feel as ok as you can. Don't give up, you've survived before and you can again. one day at a time, one breath at a time. here with you.

Oh Karen,
I'm so sorry to hear that. Please do not give up. Your girls need you to keep going for them - please hold onto this when nothing else works. I wish I had words, but I feel so disappointed with the MH system that I just am quite speechless. I really feel for you.
Itsounds like it would be a good time for another bonfire - I reckon we need to rally round both you and @kato , and the weather is certainly cold enough. What do you think @Alessandra1992 @peace @Former-Member @sara @Ellie @kenny66 @PeppiPatty & anyone else who wants to join in?
The weather is supposed to be sunny for a couple of days. I'm looking forward to being able to get a walk in on Friday morning before art, I'll have to miss out tomorrow as I've got my therapy appointment "down the line" :).
Take care of you my friend.
Hope for a beacon of light in the darkness endures...
Kindest regards,
Kristin

Dear Karen,
It's not you "doing this" - it's being done to you. Please don't blame yourself.
Hold on my friend. We will keep holding you in the midst of this, and lighting candles in the dark, hoping and praying for a better way forward.
Kindest regards,
Kristin

My friend you are not doing this, to them or yourself. It is the system which is so stuffed doing this to all of you. Please take care. Sending you hugs my friend. Wish I could help to lighten the load somehow.
Please take care Karen, your girls need you to live. Please ring lifeline if you need to.
Hope for a canlde in the dark endures...
Kindest regards,
Kristin
