@PeppyPatti it's an honour that you shared your message here with your Sane family. I feel so proud of you for standing up for yourself and your health, mental and physical.
You are an inspiration and it's given me the courage to write a message to someone who hurt me badly.
Thank you my friend 🧡

Thanks @oceangirl
But you gotta speak your truth.
It's so much harder than I thought.
My brother wrote I'm a drama queen.
I haven't answered him as I'm tired.

@PeppyPatti I remember one of my lecturers while I was studying sound engineering with WAAPA telling us that Gangajang used to leave syringes in their dressing rooms and that they weren't for Vitamin B. I was so disappointed as I loved Gangajang. I was also very naive at the time! (I saw Melissa Etheridge at Perth Concert Hall and didn't know she was gay!!)

Dearest @ENKELI
May I ask you something first -
What do you want to achieve ?
Do you want a positive reply ?
Because it's 99,% you will not get one.
If you can bear more rejection how will you cope ,?
Everyone has their own little reflection on how days go, how the day went and it's usually
Nothing about you but their own little dance 🩰
Although it's brilliant being strong in your own truth x

@PeppyPatti thank you for your wonderful reply. Honestly, I am not expecting a reply and I am weighing up how I would feel if I did get a response. I know I will probably write down in my journal what I want to say and change it several times before actually sending it. I'm also debating whether to send a snail mail note vs email.
It's something I'll probably thrash out with guidance from my Sane family before doing anything so I hope you won't mind being a bit of a sound board? Feel free to say no though 😘

Dearest @ENKELI
I promise we are all here for you.
The rejection which is our truth is tough though.
My brother has written I'm a drama, it's not true, mum doesn't do that. I'm on a tangent. My ',they,' are sitting around getting discussions about poor PeppiPatty and her head injury and how terrible I am.
But it's a truth.
It happens.
I will not back down
But @ENKELI
Who will be behind you with your truth ?
I have my partner,
2 amazing support workers.
A therapist who is in constant email talk because of my particular past.
However, speaking your truth -
you speak without force, you know what I mean ?? And the truth may not come out of them for a long time.
I believe in you to make the right decision.
