This is me as a baby enjoying the sunshine, much as I did on Sunday 11 July 2010!
Dear All
Today has been a lovely day and I hope you have benefited from the glorious sunshine.
Like I said I would, I have spent most of the day thinking. One of the comments posted really helped me to try and understand how services respond and why. Responding to situations or problems should be done in a more balanced way as opposed to a chaotic way. I have decided to sort out my mental health problems during this crisis and then tackle work and child protection issues.
Dissociating as a response to stress
This is just a short message tonight as I’m pretty tired and need to go to bed. If I stay up I would be putting myself at risk as my episodes of dissociating are on the increase and the hours go by and once I become fully oriented I find it difficult to recall anything. My psychiatrist wants me back in hospital today so the staff can record the episodes of dissociation. My named nurse has said what I am doing is a response to stress and will pass.
Thank you for your comments!
Today I received several blog entry comments. Thank you everyone who has visited my site and left comments! It means so much to me and the advice I have been given so far is very interesting and useful.
I will blog again tomorrow.
Good night and sleep well.
Love and best wishes

Please believe me | Angela's law 
Being a foster mum is not an easy task. You foster in view of helping a child know some form of “normal family life”. You take them into your home and family, and hope to give them a good solid stepping stone onto independent living. You and the family share good times and emotional times with the child, sometimes difficult, as in any family you expect quarrels and differences.However what a foster mum never expects is that the foster father will abuse his position, and abuse the foster child. But as Angela says in her book peodophiles are clever, they hide there sick other life from everyone, instead show to be upstanding, loyal and good company to be in. I know i am that foster mum, who has to live with the fact , that I was conned into believing I was married to someone who would make a good foster dad. I totally support Angela in her honest account of her time with us, and hope that in writing the words down she can leave that time of her life on the pages of the book , close it put it away and get on with living, a life she deserves with out the torment of the past. She is now a wonderful mature mum, who iIam very proud of . She has a wonderful husband two very beautiful daughters, the only thing i could wish for her is peace of mind. Be proud of the book Angela , but close it and start a happy chapter in your life.
