Hey I'm "Mallie".    1.  We have 1 child who is 13 and has been dealing with general anxiety since she was a toddler.  We didn't know that back then though, we thought she was attention seeking and VERY dramatic for her age BUT now we know the cues and signs and we look back to our previous years, we realise that she really had no control over what was happening in her little mind and body.  Now she is 13 about to turn 14, knows EVERYTHING and we "understand nothing" (insert dramatic eye roll here).   2.  Recently we fell about laughing because we scared the bejesus out of each other unintentionally and both yelled in fear.  I was rounding a corner in the house as she came around it too and we both nearly pooped ourselves!!  VERY funny.   3.  We joined a family friend and their family and friends to celebrate a birthday.  Lots of laughs, swimming, food, drinkies and cake smooshing ;0)   Thanks for the welcome and have a good week peeps xx     ...
