Re: Cutting contact
Hey @Redemption, thank you for sharing this here with us. I can hear how it was a difficult decision on whether to post this here - it's a brave thing to do. I'm sorry to hear about your experience with your mum - I can hear how frustrating and upsetting it's felt to be constantly and unconstructively criticised and having your hard work dismissed. You have worked hard and it's important that you get the recognition for what you've done so far. Your efforts and struggles are valid and do matter, and being supported isn't an unreasonable request either.
It sounds like you've spent time on making this decision, and have tried to restore the relationship but that this experience has been a series that have led up to wanting to cut contact now. Well done for trying to make things work. Sometimes they don't, and it's important that you stand up for being treated fairly. You ask for peace, and I think that's a reasonable thing to want after your experiences.
You've done so much to get a job opportunity, and I'm hopeful that you'll be able to land something soon! It sounds sensible to have a safety plan in place as well, well done for reaching out to the organisation for this. We're here to keep supporting you on your journey!

Hi @Lottie5433
How was pool training?
I hear how you were scared to go because of your recent SH. Were you ok in the end?
Next time if you get worried maybe you could arrange to go with a friend that makes you feel more at ease.
Just want to check in in general as well, how have you been today?
Also I'm glad you're here and are opening up. You're a good person. I hope things start to get better. This community will always be here to listen to you.
Hi @Blue_lily,
Pool training was okay, I just wore a long sleeve swim suit to cover my arms.
Unfortunately because the pool training is to do with work I’m unable to arrange to go with a friend I just have to put up with any judgements I get even if it comes from my own staff team 😔
Today has been a hard day, I just feel demotivated and tired also getting a lot more SH thoughts and at times I find it hard to fight the thoughts and urges.
Thank you for your kind message and words it means a lot ❤️
