Chapter 3 - Memories! The fightingwasn’t the dominant memory of my childhood. It was a part of it. It seemed ahuge part of my Mum and Dad’s relationship to me and the house we lived in –whether that is accurate or not. I write from the perception of a small girlwith absolutely no idea about the difficulties of being an adult and howdifferent things in life influence parenting. When I think of my parentstogether, I think of the fighting and the… Turmoil, the extremities of themoods and what that meant for how much I could get away with, or how soon mysister and I would be reprimanded for arguing about something petty, or howmuch noise we could make whilst playing, without getting told to be quiet. I don’t rememberhaving that… Freedom to just… Be a child at home, to… Be a little bit bonkersand loud and I don’t blame that on anybody. I don’t feel robbed of anything andagain, as I said, thankfully it hasn’t been something that I have clung on to.It was just… A part of my life, that in the grand scheme of the years I’ve beenhere, has been relatively short. But it was also a sort of, shaky foundationthrough the years as to the kind of relationship I’ve had with my Dad as I’vegrown older. The uncertainty of what is and isn’t acceptable in his eyes andthe ways in which he has communicated those thoughts has resulted in a…Nervousness around him for years, a subconscious unavoidable feeling thatregardless of what or who I become, I am not enough. But all thataside, there are somehings that just never fail to bring a smile and you can always guarantee will be a conversation starter at family get-togethers! https://image.aimoo.com/ForumImages/fd4136ae-2b3b-4d4b-8222-9d9363e75a6f/151015_041004_12818878.doct "What's meant for you won't pass you by."

Re：Honestly? Chapter 3 - Memories! Date Posted：15-10-2015 08:53Copy HTML Hy there, I think one chapter at a time is sufficient speed of posting, Fluff, for if one doesn't get to the 4th, then it could slip by in the movement of time and the forum ect, also, it is great to read that you are at last...writing it out, but to wish for others to read and leave a review, one has to show a little reciprication, we all have busy schedules and pop in as and when, but what goes around comes around is true.
I enjoy reading as you know, it is a form of relaxation to me and I'm happy to read when I can and in Chapter 3 one can see the birth and the growth of your insecurities, Fluff, I never had memories of a father figire, but at 11, I had a 'step' father introduced to my life and I do appreciate what an influence a parent or step-parent can be to one's equasion of tolerance and understanding, for it is from them, we should learn in a perfect world and family unit. If you are wishing reviews, comment or a simple reply, Fluff, it's only fair you do pop in occasionally to others, Zy x Opposites exist by virtue of each other

Re：Honestly? Chapter 3 - Memories! Date Posted：17-10-2015 04:28Copy HTML Hi Zy
I do appreciate your response as you know and am aware that I haven't been around recently as much as I would like. I appreciate everyone's comments on my writing - regardless of how many or few there may be. As you know, recently we have had some family things to deal with and getting back into studying has been quite a challenge on top of my working week (the recommended study time is between 15-20 hours a week which is effectively another part tine job) and keeping my house in order along with spending time with Lyndsey and our families. I did say in my post that I hope to be around much more, shortly - I just need to get my schedule in order and work out what free time I have because last time the studying buried me. The reason why I often don't just 'pop in' or post replies during times like this Zy, is because I like to spend time on what I feedback and appreciate what I have read, but will make every effort to reply more frequently in future. Fluff x "What's meant for you won't pass you by."

Re：Honestly? Chapter 3 - Memories! Date Posted：17-10-2015 05:18Copy HTML I was commenting on the chapter 3 immediately followed by what looked like three consecutive chapters, Fluff, as it happens, it was your 4 - six being a little misleading, lol, and yes, I realise you have heavy time committments in the pipeline, Fluff, but as I said, if one wishes comment, it's only fair to give it occasionaly too.
I've had a heart attack and two ops in the last month or so with three stays in hospital, David had to fly down to Ste Maxime for just two days without me early last month and we both went down by car for 2 weeks to paint garden walls and do heavy gardening as well as try to pack a bit more and most of that period, I was walking with the use of a frame....tell me about the 'pressures' of time, Fluff, been there, but I have every confidence you will do it, look what you have done so far, Zy x Opposites exist by virtue of each other
