@Bunniekins thanks my darling Bun Bun. I am always amazed and overwhelmed by the love I receive on Sane. What a shame real life isn't the same!
You are one of my favourite people 🫂

@Bunniekins thanks sweetheart. Fortunately for me the male parent lives in a nursing home in country NSW while I live in Perth so I won't have anything to do with him. I haven't seen him since 2010 as my stepmonster hated me and wouldn't let me stay with them. I was going to go over and visit him but will save my money for something more worthwhile.
For 50 of my 56 years the man was mostly absent, blamed my mum and other people for the wrongs in his life. If it wasn't a person it was the Army. He's been an A-hole for most of his adult life.
By the time Christmas comes around I am pretty sure I will have forgotten all about his behaviour and I intend to send him a gift regardless.

@ENKELI you are such a good person. such a classy lady. you could make a donation to a animal sanctury with the money that the present would cost but the choice is yours. i am just so glad you are far away from him. so you are not compelled to visit him. xx

@ENKELI Hi nice to meet you! Thank you for introducing yourself and asking if there's anything you can do to make it easier for me. I feel that a lot of my communication barriers appear in person more than online. It helps when I am given time to answer and process what someone has said so the forums are great for that. 😊

@ENKELI oh sweet, i hear you. It's hard when those that love us don't or won't stand up for us. I'm sorry that you have copped verbal abuse from people while they just stood by and did nothing.
We are all here for you and we all love and care for you so much sweet ❤️.

@Bunniekins I do monthly donations to several animal welfare organisations and my motives and that altruistic. If I don't send anything he will whinge about it. If I do it will shut him up.
Thank you for your support my sweet Bun, I'll make a note to check in on you over Christmas too 😊 ♥️💐
