I am at the end of my tether. I ahve been for a few days anyway, i feel like I'm teetering on teh edge, there is a thread Is tarted in mental health aobut it.
DH is away for 4 months.
DS2 has always been quite demanding of our my attention. Because I ahve Fibromaylgai it is someitmes eaiser for me to giv ein to him, i.e when he starts his "I ahve a really sore head and no one else ahs a headache like it" routine, I say "ok here's some calpol, off to bed" and make a huge fuss of him.
But he has cried and wailed and carried on for 3 hours now. My head is pounding. He has been going ona bout how much he misses his dad, no one at school likes him, the teacher doesn't like him, someone kicked a football at him, his friend told him he wasn't a prpoer Man utd fan, his friend doens't like him,he misses our dogs which dies 3 years ago, etc etc on and on and on.
When I started speaking to Ds1 about something Ds2 interuppted, "his tummy isn't as sore as my head".
I just can't take 4 months of this, not the way I'm feeling just now
