Dear Kathryn
You are still a perfect example of someone working recovery and that is not putting you on a pedestal – it is a fact.
I am not surprised that you felt proud of yourself – you have been a guiding light to so many and what is more – you still are. I have never found you mighty – I have found you to be honest and brave, both of which will help you rise up from this saddest of places you find yourself in.
Kathryn you have a big occasion in front of you – your beautiful daughter is getting married and she needs her mum – not a paragon of virtue but a loving, caring mum who has overcome one of the greatest challenges life can offer – a mum to lean on when life gets tough.
If ‘you’ were thinking you were on a pedestal then that is a trigger you can now recognise and avoid at all costs – it has been a salutary lesson, one you have learned in the hardest possible way.
Please don’t let this slip affect the life you have built around you – you are in a better place now than you have been for a long time. Use this site as the place to vent leaving you able to enjoy your daughter’s wedding, the job you love, cycling with Harry and all the other things in your life that are so important to your welfare.
I look forward to hearing you have signed the exclusion and that you are firmly back in the driving seat again.
I know you can live gamble-free – ‘Believe’
As Ever
Velvet
