Hi

[Guest_10130]

Hi everyone, id like to introduce myself. My name is Colin and i run a small business, which i have done for over 20 years now. I live in Melbourne with my soon to be wife, and share parenting of my 11 yo son with my ex wife. Also help with my fiance's 2 kids who live overseas. I have an interest in mental health as i see the impacts of it in my work. So, i thought id register and may be able to contribute advice, and also recieve some. As the challenges today in day to day living are much more i feel than when i was growing up.

Best to all.

Colin

Hi, welcome

The Beyond Blue forum is run effectively by a sound management and heavily moderated so its safe and anonymous for members.  We have Community Champions like myself that provide some support from our life experiences and most of us have some form of mental health issue but are capable in providing assistance.

For a new member like yourself you are welcome to answer posts here and over time could be considered for a Champion role. We often get members with problems surrounding step parents and relationship issues so there alone could be a level of knowledge that you already have.

So again, welcome and good luck, I hope you enjoy it here.

Thanks. Yes, it has been a journey from seperation to where we are at the moment. It has not been easy at all. It was very destructive at the start and we have travelled a long way.

Thanks for your comment.
