I have brought up 3 children for the last 10 years with an adversarial ex who pays no maintenance. I have retrained, worked full time and paid for speech therapy for 2 children, tutoring for the theird with dyslexia and finally took a backwards step a few years ago to manage my mum with dementia. I still work full time, just across a variety of settings with less exam responsibilities (I teach) and some supply which means I am busy. My eldest supports me by picking up the youngest one day a week.
I lost my mum earlier this year in traumatic circumstances which required an inquest and am still considering whether legal action should be taken against the home. And now my youngest has received a life changing diagnosis and I feel I am standing on the very, very edge of a huge hole and there is nothing at all left to stop me falling in. I don’t know how to cope any more. It is too much for one person. Please help.
