Feeling fed up

My baby has been sick for a month, with one thing and another. Full blown sicknesses to all back to back, not just 'the snuffles'.

We have no family local. We've both come down with the illnesses to, I seem to have had it worse than DH.

I feel emotionally battered to hell and back. We think we've finally come out the otherside now and baby's health is improving and we're getting back to normal bt now I just feel so down Sad

I think it's because although we've got family who visit, they're quite emotionally distant and are just like acquaintances more than anything and I feel a bit hard done by on this. I know you shouldn't compare to others but other people I know who are also miles away from family seem to regularly meet/support each other, interact more on social media together, they seem much closer etc etc and I just wish that was me.

Even if you lived close doesn’t mean they will help. I’m a single parent to 4 and my mum never helps me she lives 15 mins away from me.
If I’m ill I just have to get on with it
