Today’s prompt for Five Minute Friday is “leave”. I am pretty sure this or a similar prompt came up before when I was in the process of finding what turned out to be my current care home. Maybe not on Five Minute Friday but on Stream of Consciousness Saturday or the like. Well, now that it came up on FMF, even though I’m not an actual Christian like most of the participants, I thought I’d join in. So, here goes.
I can’t wait to leave this nightmare of a care home. Today, a fellow client was being severely out of control right in front of my room and my would-be one-on-one had to leave me to attend to him because her colleague was alone attending to “the group” (ie. everyone except another one-on-one client). I felt it was unfair, because that other client’s one-on-one is non-negotiable, while my staff keep claiming I need to cut back on my hours. Well, I could not do any activity at all with how long it took the staff to attend to this other client and then bluntly tell me, once melting down, to calm down, etc.
I can’t wait to leave this nightmare of unclear and mostly very harsh treatment that I receive here. I mean, I’m not aggressive, but I get treated like I am.
I am hoping to find out when I’ll be moving to my new care home real soon.
I sometimes feel left alone on this journey. I try to turn to God, even though I no longer subscribe to traditional Christian beliefs. I really do hope that, even if (which I’m pretty sure is a “when”) I’m left all alone in this world, there’s someone out there who cares.

I do care, Astrid, but can’t do anything about it. But I can pray for
you, if I may.

You are certainly not alone and everyone at #MMBC cares including me!
I like the quote ‘It may be stormy now, but rain doesn’t last forever’.
Keep your chin up Astrid, brighter days are coming. 🙂

My heart goes out to you, Astrid, and I feel sad for what you are going through.
Sending hugs and prayers that your new care home will be a much happier experience, and also that you would open the door of your heart to Jesus who loves you so much and will never leave or forsake you. I don’t know how I would weather the storms of my life without Him.
