What's wrong with my son part 2

[stressedmum0f3]

I didn't want to leave the thread as is as a few more changes have been made.
I got a table!!! On my local Freecycle, my partner is home early and we will ALL sit at the table!
My hv has made the call and social services have been informed, hopefully we can get se help there and another hv will be out next week as mine is off now for 3 weeks.
AND.... we have decided to take ds swimming next week!

Sorry should have said it's a bigger table with more chairs! Too excited

Thanks for updating OP, you're making so many positive changes!

You seem a happier as well, it's a great start well done.

And tonight we are trying to focus on ds, so far we've drawn with him and will take him to his room and give him some crafty things or do his alphabet book with him.
I think I may seem happier due to knowing help is on the way and having spoken out. It's quite hard acting like everythings ok

Well done 🤗

Well done OP!

I think by the sounds of it OP, the positive change in your spirits is also having a positive effect on your DS.
Brilliant, keep your head up, you're doing brill x

Good work OP! All sounding like you're making positive steps. Does he seem calmer?

You are doing so well op!

@stressedmumof3 I'm so pleased to see you sounding so happy! You got such a bashing the other day, I felt awful for you, but really well done on picking yourself up and getting on with it - you're being a brilliant example for your kids!

I hope things continue to improve and that the help that's on the way proves to hold the answers you need. Take care.

Well done! You sound so much happier and positive!

Lovely update! It all sounds much more positive.

👍🤞OP, good luck and keep us updated! Xx

You seem a lot more positive on this thread Op, I really hope things start getting easier for you, it'll be hard but it'll be worth it

So lovely to hear.

You are doing a wonderful job.

Good luck with SS

Good Luck

Well done. You’ll find that positivity breeds - you’re happier, so he will be too, and then you, etc etc. So pleased.

Wonderful update... so pleased to hear about your new table! Mealtimes will hopefully get so much better x

Brilliant update - I love how thrilled you are with the table! I get rather excited by things that other people seem to think are quite mundane so I totally get you - I still smile when I see my really nice bathtowels that were donated to me last summer.

Hopefully the help will start to come through and things will be very different this time next year.

Well Done .. sounds much more positive
Good Luck

I think it helps as well that dp is on board, he knows we need to nuckle down and give our boy the time he desperately needs.
I wouldn't say he is any calmer, I certainly am though from the lack of shouting it's just peace throughout the house!!
Sounds silly I know, I'm sure you're all thinking "yeah we told you op!!"
Thank you all!

Oh dinner was fab, dddidnt get up once and ate everything! Even dp said "we got given the table, we will use it all together at meal times"
Thanks all for giving me the kick up the bum that I clearly needed

Well done. A calmer mummy will help immensely.

I can't remember whether you were seeing the GP today as well, or did you postpone?

What a lovely thread. We'll done OP.

I was supposed to, to talk about ds (even the nursery picked up on a few bits, mainly health wise that they think a gp could see to) but I postponed it, luckily they had a cancellation tomorrow so will go tomorrow. I myself have an appointment next week, it seems because of the hysterectomy that I keep bleeding very heavily sorry tmi so they are finally going to investigate. I asked for a double appointment to talk about possible depression but tbh I think it's the situation making me that way instead of actually being that way iyswim

Brilliant update OP! Well done! You’ve made amazing progress. Whenever things are really tough (I’m sure they will at some point as life is never simple) please remember how far you’ve come in just a few days!
