My cousin is now a single parent with 18mo and 3 year old DDs , she has just come through a terrible breakup DH a terrible guy and even 7 months on since sepatAtion he still doesn't help out with kids etc... And has left her in dire financial situation.
Just wondering what else I can do to help her? She has support from her mum ,but her dad and two brothers and their wives are lowsy and never offer help.
Myself and DH make baby food in bulk( we have 19mo ID twins so just treble everything) and of course I visit as much as possible. I know she is lonely and is over tired but we are limited to the amount we can help as we live about45 mins away do its hard to just drop in
Just wondering if you have sny suggestions from experience about other ways we can help her- when we visit we always bring cooked dinner to save her cooking over the next few days and myself and DH try to do few chores when she's not looking
She s doing a great job and so brave but is finding it very hard at the moment unfortunately. Unfortunately for her her 'closest' girl friends are quite selfish and not particularly nice so she doesn't have the best support group.
I just want to help as much as I can and want to in the most useful ways!
Thanks
