So sorry. Reading some of these really has given me a shake to count my lucky blessings. Mine is struggling with unsettled newborn, PPD, feeling like I have no time or energy for my toddler or my 6 year old and riddled with guilt. I feel really pent up, angry and frustrated. Also unsupportive H who has burried himself in work 12-14 hours a day 6 days a week. Self employed so optional when to start and stop he just hates being at home with us, virtually uncontactable throughout the day. Offers no emotional emotional support at all and limited financial and practical help when he is around. It all falls on me. Extremely lucky to be my wonderful children but just cannot see the light from the fog. This seems like a drop in the ocean compared to what others are dealing with. Sending love and strength to all those who need it.

Hearting that seems wrong, but I feel for you. ❤️ That's no time at all to recover from such a loss. 🥺

I have a disease called primary hyperparathyroidism. The only cure is surgery. It's slowly killing me. The first surgery I had in 2017 two parathyroid glands were removed but it wasn't enough as the remaining one or possibly two are producing too much parathyroid hormone. There is no surgeon in the country I live in who has enough experience to do another surgery on me plus so far the overactive parathyroid gland or glands haven't shown up on any scans I had done. It's kind of the opposite to when people are suffering from cancer. They don't want anything to show up on a scan but I desperately need something to show up. Plus a lot of people think because this disease develops over years so it's not that dangerous but I was admitted to hospital with a potassium level of 3.1 and a phosphate level of 0.29 and calcium level of 2.72 because of it and could have had a heart attack or worse if I hadn't been treated with IV replacements! Plus I've had two DVTs as well. There is an expert surgeon in England who does 200+ of these surgeries a year. He has all my latest scans and hopefully he will spot the wonky gland on one of them so he can whip it out and cure me. If he can't find it there is one more type of scan that I can have that is the gold standard if you like but if it doesn't show on that I don't know what can be done for me. So it's a worrying time for me.

That doesn't sound minimal, that sounds downright abusive.

Not having a school for my lovely dd who is autistic and desperate for a specialist school. Out of school for two years and all schools full. Makes me so sad when I hear about children going back to school this week.

I ment I count my lucky blessings to have my children. So many people pray to be blessed with 3 wonderful children, which I have and I feel guilty about the PPD. I agree on the abusive front, but there's no explaining that to him. All he see's is his own goals to have financial security, which although I do understand and appreciate, a bit of emotional support wouldn't go a miss.

I obviously know nothing about your situation, but could she qualify for EOTAS? I don’t know much about it but education other than at school could give her access to programmes and tutors to at least keep up with education?
