I obviously know nothing about your situation, but could she qualify for EOTAS? I don’t know much about it but education other than at school could give her access to programmes and tutors to at least keep up with education?

I ment I count my lucky blessings to have my children. So many people pray to be blessed with 3 wonderful children, which I have and I feel guilty about the PPD. I agree on the abusive front, but there's no explaining that to him. All he see's is his own goals to have financial security, which although I do understand and appreciate, a bit of emotional support wouldn't go a miss.

Not having a school for my lovely dd who is autistic and desperate for a specialist school. Out of school for two years and all schools full. Makes me so sad when I hear about children going back to school this week.

That doesn't sound minimal, that sounds downright abusive.

I have a disease called primary hyperparathyroidism. The only cure is surgery. It's slowly killing me. The first surgery I had in 2017 two parathyroid glands were removed but it wasn't enough as the remaining one or possibly two are producing too much parathyroid hormone. There is no surgeon in the country I live in who has enough experience to do another surgery on me plus so far the overactive parathyroid gland or glands haven't shown up on any scans I had done. It's kind of the opposite to when people are suffering from cancer. They don't want anything to show up on a scan but I desperately need something to show up. Plus a lot of people think because this disease develops over years so it's not that dangerous but I was admitted to hospital with a potassium level of 3.1 and a phosphate level of 0.29 and calcium level of 2.72 because of it and could have had a heart attack or worse if I hadn't been treated with IV replacements! Plus I've had two DVTs as well. There is an expert surgeon in England who does 200+ of these surgeries a year. He has all my latest scans and hopefully he will spot the wonky gland on one of them so he can whip it out and cure me. If he can't find it there is one more type of scan that I can have that is the gold standard if you like but if it doesn't show on that I don't know what can be done for me. So it's a worrying time for me.

Hearting that seems wrong, but I feel for you. ❤️ That's no time at all to recover from such a loss. 🥺

So sorry. Reading some of these really has given me a shake to count my lucky blessings. Mine is struggling with unsettled newborn, PPD, feeling like I have no time or energy for my toddler or my 6 year old and riddled with guilt. I feel really pent up, angry and frustrated. Also unsupportive H who has burried himself in work 12-14 hours a day 6 days a week. Self employed so optional when to start and stop he just hates being at home with us, virtually uncontactable throughout the day. Offers no emotional emotional support at all and limited financial and practical help when he is around. It all falls on me. Extremely lucky to be my wonderful children but just cannot see the light from the fog. This seems like a drop in the ocean compared to what others are dealing with. Sending love and strength to all those who need it.

Thank you. He has his sister to help him, hopefully he'll be okay.

That’s sad 😔 poor wee thing .
I hope he learns coping skills to deal with it ?
I think maybe he will adapt , but them being clingy is sad 😔

Home education ?

Thank you. It's really hard to know what to do. I don't want to stop him going out and exploring as he loves that but if he can't hear then it makes everything more dangerous.

Getting the money for a house deposit.

My marriage. Really not getting on well.

Awwww, that's so sad and not insignificant at all ❤️

It seems really insignificant but I think my beautiful, perfect cat might be going deaf. He no longer looks at me when I call his name. He no longer comes running when he hears the treats packet. He sat in the hall whilst the fire alarm was going off the other day. Even my ears were ringing. He's also become really clingy.

He's still my beautiful, perfect cat but it is really sad that he may not be hearing bird song and I can't do anything about it.

Not a huge problem, and nowhere near as serious as many others..BUT, my mini needs a new clutch/gearbox and it's going to cost £2k. The car is only worth about £3k. I have zero savings and shit credit, so I'm well and truly fucked 🙃.

Following on from @WaryCrow 's post regarding pollution, yesterday I listened to a frightening radio programme about lead in our rivers and soil from the 60.000 abandoned lead mines in England and Wales, File on 4 Investigates. I find it easier to go on BBC Radio 4's schedule rather than BBC Sounds, it was broadcast yesterday Wed 20 August at 11 am.

Hmmm.
Interesting.

I’m so sorry. I take it the baby is here, how old? Do you have other help?

Men. Just men. Enabled and empowered by other men to just opt out. We need a new world.

My baby’s dad has out of the blue decided he doesn’t want to be a dad.

I think it’s pollution and it would not surprise me to know that the government have files and research on what sort of pollution. Perhaps it’s the longstanding effects of having had lead exposure from fossil fuels in the past. Perhaps it’s a combination of toxic chemicals from fossil fuels, or from nuclear fallout. Maybe it’s is even something connected to the number of different energy beams transmitted through the air; chemical effects are far easier to handle and trace but I do wonder about the knowledge of ourselves as electrical beings, electrical nervous systems, and what the impacts could be of living saturated in energy.

Either way it’s an effect of our way of life, post industrialisation, and no government has any power or will to touch that with a bargepole. Their continued interest will be in keeping us quiet, as they have done for the last 20 years of a destroyed economy. You think it’s conspiracy thinking? Conspiracies are normal in government. When were the issues of tobacco smoking first known?

Have you never wondered what it would be like to breathe the air of the world pre-1600 ish? It would be very very different.

Anecdptally I also note that other animal species seem to be more aggressive. Maybe conflicts as humans spread, maybe increased knowledge and exposure, maybe maybe maybe.

I lost my temper at work the other day.
Feeling ashamed and not looking forward to having to look for a new job as I really love this job, it's just the people (well one person) I am obviously struggling with.

But this is trivial compared to what some of you on here are going through. Sending hugs to everyone who needs it.

Being autistic with an autistic son and just being absolutely fucking knackered all of the time. Also, my son has PDA and makes arguments out of EVERYTHING which doesn't help. I love him to bits, he's my favourite person, but I'm soooooo tired.

An ex partner of mine for well over 20 years , and a father if he could call himself that in any way
to my beautiful daughter,, the total shame of a human had defrauded me out hundred thousands of pounds, by hacking into my bank accounts whilst posing as a helpful partner who would take care of my business accounts in order to make up for the fact that he lived in my homes for rent free for years I never contributed a penny, I trusted him how stupid was I?
I had my own business since I was 18 he took out loans in my name. Got a woman to pose in the bank as me , and got to put a TPA on my solo accounts,he got a driving license in my name got utility bills in my properties transferred into his name without my knowledge, still after over three years of me kicking the arsehole out when I discovered who he really was I’m still discovering the depth of his Fraud, regularly my post is full with nasty surprises,
im now about to embark on a legal case ,with all that has come to light ,
The police say he could get a custodial of 3 to 5 years however I’ve lost over quarter of a century of my life, the warning is never trust anybody when it comes to money and assets
warning to all
on the plus side, even though I was taken in by a Corvet narcissist for so long
my life is happy my real friends are solid and caring. I never will be coerced and conned again.
