Hi I've posted before. Long read coming up..
I've been with my wife since 18, were now 32. She has huntingtons diseas and its just started to show its onset with symptoms.
We have 2 kids who were both planned. Our oldest is autistic. Just lately with the festive season and work commitments I'm getting a little stressed. My wife is struggling and had her work hours and role reduced, which we knew was coming and we cant complain as we understand why. She got rejected for PIP so instead is getting careres allowance for our son as he is 8. He wears nappies and really struggles with his emotions.
Work had an issue I mentioned in a post this week.
HR are aware of my family situation, my mum passed when I was 22, so did my MIL. Both our fathers are a waste of time. I'm really struggling for childcare tomorrow as my nan, who has the kids is looking after my grandad as he is poorly with a virus and dementure getting worse.(Sorry to keep rambling)
I've kind of made a rod for my own back regarding work as I do factory work but for 5he 1st time we are running a shift until 10pm xmas eve. Which falls on my shift. People were getting backhanded holidays even this week. I kind of got fobbed off by my shift manager and even my union rep to be honest. Because I made a fuss about these extra holidays allocated if I go off sick with my general family issues, which are getting me down, it just looks to obvious and I'm worried for my job then. I genuinely am struggling for childcare tomorrow, working xmas eve isnt the issue it's how the extra holidays were allocated in a (mystery) ballot . I'm just fucking rambling but back to my original title... who the hell do I turn to for professional support
