Overwhelmed-single parent with 2 children with SN

It's very hard... that's all😢

It sounds really tough. Sending supportive vibes.

What would help you most tonight @Amberamethyst ? Do you want to have a moan, which you have every right to do.

Or do you want us to prompt you by asking questions? Or would that be intrusive? I really feel for you. X

What area are you? Maybe we can all look in to what support there is in your area. I'm just about coping myself but if you're local to me I always need a coffee friend ❤

It is hard and you have my sympathy. I have been in my own for 6 years with 2 dc with SEN’s, some things have got easier and others harder. Dc1 is not almost completely independent but dc2 will never be and when home they need 24/7 supervision, it’s hard, I have no social life, I am exhausted and lonely.

Social services have been little help despite me begging for help and respite for dc2, I have told them I have suicide thoughts, that I need help now but nothing is ever done.

So I totally understand, it’s soooo hard.

This! I'm in Scotland

I'm so sorry for just leaving my question and thoughts 'hanging'. I've just received last evening the report from the psychologist about my daughter and it was so 😢 to see that written about my beautiful little girl.

I will be fine, she will fine and I'll create a nurturing and as happy a household as I can but sometimes you feel a bit 'empty'.

It's nice to be able to express thoughts sometimes where no one knows you

That sounds so very hard, the system is broken and I'm so very sorry for what you're going through. ❤️

Ask away, as I said I'm sorry for just leaving my feelings hanging last night and not replying

I'm in Northern Ireland, I have to say I haven't looked into what support it available as I'm just so so busy trying to juggle it all.

Hmm I understand you totally. Twins, 1 with ASD. I too have no social life and I have bad health. Social services are very intrusive and don't help much. Assessments galore.
