Feel disproportionality upset

I had a holiday booked for at the start of the holidays that had to cancel last minute as one of my DC was ill. Something had booked ages ago and saved for. Was obviously very disappointed. Had insurance but didn’t get all the money back.

Managed to book something else that we’d all been looking forward to. DC is now unwell and looks like we can’t go.

i know I’m lucky to be able to book a holiday but I can’t explain it but I just feel totally broken by having to miss it again.

I’m a single parent and it’s been a really hard year ( well years) for lots of reasons. Work full time and DC have challenges and I’m just so so tired and just really really needed the break. Ex is involved but the DC are here full time. Also I just wanted to do something fun with them. Feel like I’m always so stressed and short tempered and I know a holiday isn’t the answer but.

i don’t know. Sitting here crying and feel so alone. Need to get a grip as I know being this upset is out of proportion. It’s almost as if this one thing going wrong somehow has tipped me over the edge.

So very disappointing for you. Have a cry, let it out. Try to get a good night's sleep. Things will seem better tomorrow Flowers

Oh OP Sad I would be gutted too.

Thanks. I guess I just feel a bit tired atm of pulling myself together and putting a smile on. Would just like something to go right.

Is it possible DC will recover in time to at least go late? Maybe you can salvage part of the holiday? X

Sounds like you badly need some R&R so it's absolutely OK to be disappointed to the point of tears. Sometimes it's good to just let out all that disappointment and frustration. I hope your child gets better soon and you can plan another break away soon.

What's wrong with them? Can't you go anyway?

That's totally understandable! Don't be hard over yourself, allow yourself to feel sad and disappointed.
