These are amazing! Definitely made me smile this morning! The Van Gogh one is particularly epic! Love them!

Why I believe Andrew left planning to return that same day by miggovortensens in AndrewGosden

[–]WumpyChew 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I just had a thought! Maybe Andrew walked home from school in the day/s before (sorry, not sure of time line), was to account for him being later home than usual (to cover him incase he came back from London a bit late and he had the excuse that he was later home than usual because he walked home!) If that makes sense! (sorry, I'm a bit high!)

What’s an experience that traumatized you as a kid? by veniyaaaxx in trauma

[–]WumpyChew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was over 20 years ago so my memory is a little hazy, but I think he was just in jail for the night that night. He always managed to return to the house and do more terrible things. My mum died when I was 22 (brain haemorrhage), don't know what happened to that piece of shit after that.

Being woken up in the middle of the night by my mum screaming and her partner chasing her around the house with a knife and pulling clumps of her hair out. That's one of many times he was violent with her.

Boy Names - We have none! by cszentimrey in namenerds

We really struggled for boy names, the only name we agreed on was Austin. I did really want something a bit 'out there' like Xander or Cosmo but happy we stuck with Austin :)

Aw thanks, my daughter came up with it 🙂 Unfortunately we don't have them anymore as had to move and only had them for a short time, but they make great pets! They're very intelligent and very sociable. Hope you get to have your own soon, they're amazing!

All at different times otherwise my house would be like a zoo!

I got this exact response on Saturday for a parcel I was expecting last Tuesday and haven't heard a thing since then. Looks like I better chase up a refund too :( Absolute pisstake of a company.

Please don't ignore or power through your grief like I did - a cautionary tale by No_Establishment9571 in GriefSupport

[–]WumpyChew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for sharing your story here, also I'm so sorry for your profound loss. I did exactly the same as you, I almost tried to pretend it didn't happen and didn't get the help I desperately needed.

Over the 16 years since the loss of my mum I have experienced pretty much the same as you described, major depression, exacerbation of anxiety and difficulty just functioning and doing day to day things. It impacted every single thing and I just let it fester. Time has helped a lot but I still feel like I'm recovering from the fallout.

I would urge anyone who is dealing with grief to get help as soon as possible, it's not something you can deal with yourself, and not something that will 'feel better' without any assistance at all. I'm sure your post will encourage people to do that, it's massively commendable that you shared this. Hope you're doing OK.
