Do you every just feel life is shit and overwhelming. In the last 3 months everything has gone wrong. We're getting kicked out of our rented house in May, because my work contrast has changed I probably can't go back after my maternity leave, my poor daughter has self harmed, thankfully only by scratching her skin rather than cutting herself but it's bad enough. GP is useless and school couldn't care less, even after my daughter said she started scratching due to bullying. Can't get any counselling for at least 6 months despite GP saying school would have a counselling service (they don't and probably can't afford it).
I 've been suffering from stomach pains which is scary being pregnant but scans show baby is fine although I haven't felt it kick yet. So I'm wondering if it's stress. Oh and car failed the MOT and is going to cost 1,300 to fix, the car isn't even worth that.
My husband has this attitude that everything will be fine but I'm terrified of ending up in a B&B or getting reported to SS for not having a proper home and my daughter hurting herself.
I honestly feel like packing my bags and running away. I'm sure I'll get people saying the situation is my fault and I should have planned better but I don't care. I needed to vent my feelings.

A lot going on for you.
So you need to take a breath
Why is your landlord kicking you out?
Have you looked into changing schools ?

Rosebel · 13/02/2020 14:50

The landlord wants to sell the house which is why we have to leave.
I have considered changing schools although my husband reckons they will probably all be the same. I'd quite like to move her as she's very reliant on her sister at school and I fear she'll struggle when she leaves. Also though she is terrified of change (part of her autism) and had taken to just walking away from classrooms when she can't cope. I think a new school would just be too much for her.

Has your daughter got an EHCP

I am so sorry that you are going through all this.
I’m sorry that I can’t be of much help other than to see if you can find other rental accommodation as soon as possible.
That will , at least , take some pressure off your shoulders.
As to your daughter, the school has a duty of care towards her , so could you speak to the SENCo or the FLO? Tell them that they need to put some safeguarding in place for your daughter from the bullies. Your FLO should be able to signpost your daughter towards some , eg, Drawing and Talking therapy or Playtherapy etc...
as to your car, maybe get a second opinion on the repairs.
Sorry I can’t be more helpful and feel sure that other posters will be more positive.
Very best wishes to you 💐

No EHCP. It's something I've heard of but it's never been mentioned by anyone so not sure where to start with that. The rental market is very competitive and I have to admit I didn't realise how expensive everything was (our rent was low as renting from MIL). Desperately trying to save and do as much overtime as possible so hopefully we can move sooner rather than later.

Not sure how old your daughter is , has she got a diagnosis for autism?

She's 11 but we only got the official diagnosis in July although we had our suspicions a long time. I will have a look at the link. Thank you.
