Hi Ev,o
I am glad to hear that you are going o.k. and have plenty of support. I had counselling from the breast care nurse but even she didn't quite know how to deal with my situation as I have a son that has been a drug addict since he was 14 and he was homeless at the time and been out of jail for around six months. Foolishly I allowed him and his fiancee to stay at my place for three weeks while I recovered from the surgery I stayed at my partner's place. During that time, my son trashed my house ....got an intervention order against me and I had to spend a lot of time going into court to defend myself. My son kept getting ajournments so it gave them longer to stay in my home. He had smashed my front door, smashed holes in four walls with a bar stool and tried to get me charged with assault against his fiance. Which was impossible. I am right handed and it was my right breast that had been operated on. I couldn't even lift my arm higher than my waist.
In the end the Magistrate got me a two year Apprehended Violence Order against my son and made an order for them to get out of my home. It was the worst time of my life.
Whilst they had the intervention order in place I was not allowed in my own home let alone the street I lived in.
It was so humiliating and hurtful when they knew I had cancer and M.S. I couldn't believe a human being could treat another human being that way. Especially his own MOTHER !
Love and prayers going your way Ev
