I am wondering if there are any other lone parents have a child with Special Needs as I do. I have a daughter, 4, with global developmental delay and feeding problems. Possible Pierpont Syndrome (a rare one!) but time may tell. She is like a 2 yr old in many ways. I also have a 2 1/2 yr old boy, no probs except the normal ones (they are enough aren't they) but put all those problems together and you can guess how stressful it is without a supportive partner. I have no family nearby and the couple of good friends I have are busy with their families so can't help much at all. I am on antidepressants and for a while I thought they were working, but at the moment i am genuinely feeling close to suicidal at times. It is only the worry of the kids ending up in care that stops me i think...
