First off, if I'm vague with details, it's because I feel guilty for posting...almost as if I'm betraying her onfidence or something. I have a friend who, we suspect, may be going through a breakdown. Panic attacks, locking herself away from people and life. Her Dh is also looking to me for support, an I just want to make sure I'm doing enough. She has 2 DS, both have autism,asnd she doesn't seem to be coping with family life at all either. The children are also looking to me for answers, not knowing what's going on, etc. I'm the only one she will trust to have them both at the same time- they love me, and I them. They will be coming here tonight to give Dfs abreak, and I'm going to set them on making 'Get Well Soon' cards for mummy ('aunty' to my DC,) so they'lll all be involved. Was thinking that it would not only make ADF smile, it woulld also open up an opportunity for the DC to talk to me if they wanted to.
I have made it clear that I'm here for the whole family. But am I doing enough? Is there anything else I could be doing for them?
Long post-sorry.
