Im struggling. Im a single parent and dont have much support. I have a job and luckily I am off this week.
First thing covid, had 10 days off, then my horses stable burnt down last saturday with her in in it and had to be rescued, most terrifing thing. My Nan also doesnt have much longer and then to top it off on way home from seeing my nan some youths threw a rock at my car and damaged it and just had email to say there isnt anything they can do WTF
Im exhausted but people have a lot more worries than me so keep telling myself to get a grip but its hard
Sorry just need to vent

You’re having a load of bad stuff happening at once. It sounds tough. Hopefully you’ll get through this bad patch soon Flowers

MyLifeNow20 · 13/02/2022 23:09

It sounds like you're doing all the right things in hard situations. Keep going. Are you able to get some sleep tonight?

Thanks

What a horrible time you're having Sad

Be kind to yourself feel down and struggling is completely understandable

AtlasPine · 13/02/2022 23:14

It’s that one step forward, two steps back feeling.
Can you draw up an action plan? Spend as much time as you can with your Nan. The car thing you can’t do anything about so you have to try and find a way to put it aside. It is annoying and will cost something but that’s all.

Mam576 · 13/02/2022 23:17

Sorry to hear you’re struggling. Do you have good friends to reach out to also? How old are you children?

MyLifeNow20 · 13/02/2022 23:23

Vent as much as you want sweetheart, that's a lot for anyone to deal with - the stone throwing is just adding insult to injury. Hope tomorrow is a better day for you Flowers

bloodywhitecat · 13/02/2022 23:26

Venting can be soothing, I hope things turn the corner for you soon. I hope your nan is peaceful Flowers

Never rains but it pours.
Are the kids and horse happy? Your 19yo sounds like a star. Be proud of your kids.

MyLifeNow20 · 13/02/2022 23:26

Horses are good at listening too. I'd love one but lack the time for it.

pickingdaisies · 16/02/2022 09:00

Checking in, how are you? Have you heard from your friend yet? My friends often don't check in with me, but then I often don't check in with themBlush

My nan passed away tonight, I feel so alone, my 7 year old has been so sweet bless her. My 15yr old is sleeping over at a friends which was before all this happened and my eldest is at the cinema x

I'm sorry, I hope she passed peacefully. I'm listening if you want to talk Flowers

I didn't see the deleted message, but it must have been something MN deemed inappropriate.

pickingdaisies · 17/02/2022 10:18

Oh I'm so sorry - I missed your reply last night. I didn't see the post before it was deleted, but sometimes people pop up saying how such and such person really helped them through a tough time - then there's a link to some dodgy site selling a book or a course. Maggots trying to cash in on other people's hardships. They get deleted pretty fast.
