To All Those Needing To Post Here....

there is a company called HOMESTART, which i know has been mentioned here before by myself and others
however, the amount of extremely sad threads on here have been rising lately and with tragic consequences and i would just like to give you a link to them in the hope that anyone who reads it, will give them a ring and get some help!as motherhood and even just life can be a struggle, and you dont need to go through it on your own.

i have my own homestart helper coming round every week, but i think they can come round more regular and although mine is just for a 'mother figure' and to listen to me, they can do so much more for those of you who are really struggling.

please please call them, im sure they can help and you can start getting yourselves together and begin to enjoy life more.
i really really hope this helps

gunna post this and put link seperatly.

In fact, I have just donated the equivalent of my subs to HomeStart. It looks like an extremely helpful organisation. I'd probably even volunteer if there was one near me!

homestart don't cover absolutely every area of the country atm, but if you are a bit out of area then an HV/GP can still refer you.

Thanks evesmama, that's really thoughtful
Think I'll look into that tomorrow. x
