Taz i have just come back from the IOW. I went with my 2 sons one of there wifes and 2 grandchildren stayed in a house with them for a few days. My daughter and her family stayed in another part of the island. it was my daughters childrens christening so we all went over as a family. Because of the panic attacks and anxiety i have never been anywhere on my own and last year was the first time i have been away for over 15 years that to was with my daughter again also very stressfull, i have a difficult relationship with my daughter. Words were said at the christening party and i ended up crying most of the way home back to the midlands. I love her dearly but she treats me like dirt and i just take it as to stand up to her would mean losing my grandchildren and yes she would do it.
I keep thinking in my head now that i have actually gone away could i do it on my own. well me and the dog anyway, i would love too i like all the things that you like to do. I'm grateful that my daughter took me last year as otherwise i never would of gone and its given me some confidence. I don't think i could drive to the seaside on my own.
