@kawasakiKRT400rr
Hi ... yes this is it!
I'm sorry, I was in the middle of typing a message here, and then the phone rang.
Are you and the boys basically ready for tomorrow?
Yes we are but I don’t want them to go back to school I’m so stressed and depressed and crying I have really bad anxiety

Do you want to try and talk in the Trauma Support room (it seems to be an empty one) …

@faithfulscout
Will I be talking to you ?
@kawasakiKRT400rr
Yes
@FaithfulScout
@faithfulscout
Ok that would be good
@kawasakiKRT400rr
There might be a moderator there too, but I'm looking at the activity and the last post was about 1 hour ago.
@kawasakiKRT400rr
Once again ... my messages disappeared!!! (But by your responses, I see that you got them.)

@kawasakiKRT400rr
I'm just going to say goodbye to the 2 people that just entered the room ... and will be right over 🙂
@kawasakiKRT400rr
Thank you for talking with me!
Try to get some rest tonight.
@faithfulscout
I probably won’t be able to sleep tonight . I have too much anxiety
@faithfulscout
How are you today
@kawasakiKRT400rr
Hi …
I was busy today, some cleaning and getting my calendar for the week organized. And then my ex and I had a conversation about our son. She has custody of our 2 children, and she has been financially supporting them (I pay child support but she really sustains their lifestyle). Our son is going into his last year of high school, and my ex has decided to “cut him” off when he turns 18.
Has not been the usual day.
Thanks again for trying out the chat room. That was the first time I did it, and I didn’t anticipate other people would enter the room, especially when it was empty for an hour. But since the chat room list shows the number of participants, I guess people saw us in there.
How did the first day of school go?
(Oh, I forgot to mention, that once I meet someone, I prefer using my real name, Tom. (Of course, I’m totally okay if you continue to use your username.)
@faithfulscout
Hi
I didn’t know you had kids , I’m sorry I never asked and that’s a hard thing to hear . My oldest daughter lives with my ex and he also is trying to cut her off per se and move out . I told her she can always come here but I don’t think she wants to.
You’re welcome I enjoyed talking in the chat room as well that was the first time I was in the trauma room.
The first day of school went well they had a great day I sat in my car at the school most of the day like I usually do ever since my dad was here and passed . My name is Tania . Tania and Tom
@faithfulscout
Hi Tania!
I really meant to write to you sooner, especially since you took some significant steps the other day: trying the chatroom with me and allowing me to help you a little in your grief.
And it is totally fine that you did not realize I have kids. We are just getting to know each other. I wanted to share my son's situation with you because it is an important thing happening in my life too. I guess it is also time to share something else about me … at the beginning of last year, I was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer.
I never smoked and was always healthy. When I was helping my friend move some boxes in December 2023, I thought I strained my back. When it wasn’t getting any better, I had it checked out and that’s when my whole life changed.
I’ve been on a single medication (for the cancer) since last year, but now things might be shifting. My team is not making any changes with my treatment yet, but 3 weeks ago, I had a tumor removed from my brain, and I started radiation treatments this week (that will finish on Monday the 18th).
Sorry if this is too much, I just you want you to know what’s going on, and even though we have only met, I still intend to build our friendship here.
I’m going to rest now … but I will catch up later!
@faithfulscout
Hi Tom!
It’s okay you didn’t write me sooner and I appreciate all your help with everything
I read your profile and saw that you live in Massachusetts, that’s where I was born in Medford.
And yes that is important about your son I’m glad you shared that with me . I am so sorry to hear that you have been going through having cancer , I got sad when I read that . So you are going through a lot yourself and still are helping other people , I can see that you’re a great person . I am glad we met . I am sorry about the Tumor and I hope everything goes ok with the treatment .
I hope you are getting some rest and we can talk again soon hugs 🤗
(I forgot to tag you on my message!)

@faithfulscout
Hi I replied to your message before this one I don’t know if you saw . I miss talking with you I know I can’t expect you to be available 24/7 I’m sorry
@kawasakiKRT400rr
No apology necessary!
That is amazing you were born in Medford. I was born in Brookline, and now I live in Attleboro! My life partner and I have been living here for almost a year. We had to move because my back injury resulted in surgery, and I had to learn to walk again (therefore we couldn’t live in our 2nd floor apartment anymore).
I’m so glad we met too! Are you still in Mass.?
Regarding helping others, ever since the birth of my son in 2007, when I recognized there was something wrong in my marriage, I began an amazing "journey of the self” that I'm sure I’ll tell you about someday. Through this journey and the healing I’ve received—I just have to give back … and that’s what keeps me going 🙂
Again, so glad we met, Tania! Talk soon!
@faithfulscout
That’s a lot learning to walk again but you did it !
I’m not in Mass anymore I have been in Florida since I was about 7 . And that’s nice that you help others being you have been through so much yourself .
I’m still so glad we met Tom . Hope to hear from you soon
@faithfulscout
How are you
@kawasakiKRT400rr
Hi Tania,
I’ve been getting a fair amount of rest. I’m hoping to meet up with my kids tomorrow. I’m really excited!
How are you doing? How was your first week of school?
@faithfulscout
Hi Tom,
I was just asking my roommate if radiation made her tired because she had Breast Cancer and she said yes so I figured maybe you were tired .
That’s exciting to see your kids tomorrow how long has it been since you have seen them ? I hope you guys have a great time together.
Me I’ve been upset angry sad and idk what else but I don’t like it . The first week of school was good. I have twins and one of them is Autistic so they are having a hard time getting him to do his work and I can’t get him to to do his work either .
During the school week alls I do it drives them to school come home leave at 11:45 and sit at the school until 2:55 because I don’t want to be home . Idk why I’m always so mad it sucks I hate that any of this happened to me or in this house I don’t even want to live here anymore but it’s so expensive to move .
Hope to talk soon Tom and have fun tomorrow.
