New bathroom needed
dh needs a car

Secondary or primary school? Free cycle groups are good, if it's Secondary school, I can post you a nearly new school bag.
Ask St VDP or other charities for help with food parcels if accessible in your area.

I’m in bed and the phone charger is downstairs - if I dont get it the alarm probably won’t go off in the morning as my phone will be dead.

I do have other problems but that is my biggest issue right now 😂

Could you look at fostering when a cat charity provides the fancial support but you provide the love. Hard as not a constant fur kitty but maybe an option for kitty snuggles

@NotOldYet Get a decluttering service in. I have done this and it has made a big difference to my life - expensive, but worth it.
My biggest problem is that I'm getting old and can't do things I used to do, and I've had a couple of falls and worry about the future.

A long time ago i was married to a paedophile. He was horrendous from the start i wish i had MN back then but first real concern he started saying things like why does it matter if kids are abused if they don’t know about it. He did something awful to my child and i made sure that he had to leave. I wasn’t strong enough i let him back in and then i was at his mercy for next 15 years as i couldn’t leave. He told everyone i accused him of raping my children. He told my children that when they were 10 or so. I never accused him of that. He did absolutely everything to drive me insane and I lost my mind in the middle of it all and was medicated to the hilt and at the worst time locked up in secure ward. I fought for my sanity and divorced him. That sounds so easy but wasn’t. He remained in my life in a negative way for years. Now i live a peaceful life with no anxieties with a lovely little cat and my 2 amazing children that i adore. I only recently really put it in the past. I told them both what really happened. They are under his influence and always will be but i am at peace.

Sorry, i misread the thread! That was my worst problem. Today i am very happy :-)

I can reallly sympathise, my ex-husband is an alcoholic and still dependant on me as he is unable to function in life. I recently let him stay as he was drinking himself to death.
i can really recommend Al Anon, it’s helped me enormously and it’s a relief to share with people who can really understand what you’re going through.
I wish you both all the best

Who is this to?

Yep, same. Do you have any idea why she’s behaving like this?
I suspect my DD has some form of ND but she refuses to explore this. She has always been unable to see anyone else’s POV, but for some reason has focused all her negative views on me. It’s so upsetting.

I've got cancer and am terrified my children will grow up without a mother.

We are nearing retirement and I am worried about money.

My heart goes out to each and everyone who is suffering with all these desperately difficult situations ❤️

I’m so sorry for the loss of your boys. Sending lots of healing love

Sold husbands unneeded work stuff on ebay at huge loss and now have to pay huge income tax and penalties just because they are clasified as goods. Didn't realise you have to declare things sold online. Offs my own fault. Also, can't write them off as dont have receipts anymore 🙄 financially ruined by hmrc for selling our own stuff that we paid for. Be careful people!

You can do this. I did. Good luck 🤞

Huge stressful renovation. I'm paying for it all, he isn't. Worried I'm wasting my money. Me and DP arguing all the time. First world problems compared to most on here.

Ditto. My kids are 17.5 and 20. They bloody need us, our kids ❤️

Finding the money for DS uni accommodation when the letting agent / landlord wants £5500 before maintenance loan comes in mid sept.

DS can’t get a job to help as we can’t afford so much money up front.

Family relationships have broken down, and no one wants to get professional help.

I have two cars. They both failed their mots. One is going to cost over £1000 to be fixed, one is going to cost £2500 and that one might not even still pass as it also has a electrical fault which there not sure if they can fix, if not, automatic fail again.
Oh and I work 50 minutes away from where I live, rural place no buses/trains and no one who I work with lives near me to give me a lift.
no car = no work
no work = no money to even try get one car fixed
life’s great 🙃

Keep crying randomly and feel really sad out of nowhere

I lost my Dad 3 years ago, very abruptly, and since then I struggle with the meaning of life. I appear 'normal' day to day but I have lost my spark for anything. I am quietly grieving and don't think I'll ever get over it. I just don't find anything interesting other than spending time with my children and doing things for them. I don't care about anything, but pretend to otherwise friends and family would intervene. It's like I'm a bit dead inside myself, hard to explain, like I have changed forever as a person which sounds dramatic but it's how I feel and I can't share with anyone in RL.

Trying to get an appointment with the GP.

A foot that is in compression had an unwarranted surgery by the receiving of notes but I’m no surgeon.

I keep being told told how I must have missed an insect bite, little cut but I remember none of these. I wanted a drink on the Tuesday after Easter Monday, thinking I’d finally sorted the gynae problem out, 24 hours before life changed and I’d feel ill needing surgery by the end of that weekend.

The last 12 weeks have been a complete battle. Hilarious to some so I wish them well.

They do ❤️, mine are 10 and 7.

❤️ to you and your kids

DH got made redundant over a year ago and no new job since. He got a good payoff by we've been living on savings for the last 3 months. I'm self employed and my earnings only pay for extras for the kids. Doesn't touch the mortgage.

Dd1's best friend has been self harming and has developed an eating disorder. While i'm so sad and worried for the friend, my DD has been taking on the emotional burden for months and I'm so worried about the stress she has been under. She's only 14.

My parents are elderly and while currently in good health require alot of TLC.

I'm perimenopausal and feeling the pressure of making sure every other person in my life is ok, without anyone checking in on me. I'm generally feeling quite resentful about life but then i feel guilty when so many others are having an even worse time.
