If I die can I insist dh takes dc to see my parents?

I'm fairly sure I'm going to die. I suffer terribly anxiety and recently have come into contact with chicken pox to which I am not immune. I have a strong feeling it's going to kill me.
I'm an only child and my parents will be devastated. Dh does not get on with my parents and I likely to take the children and go ang live with his mother. Is there any way I can legally put anything into place to give them some access? Dh works full time so I'd like my parents to be able to do some of the childcare. Also my dc are close to my parents so I feel they would benefit from seeing them as ds in particular will be very upset. Dd is only a baby so won't really know either way.

It's really worrying me. Or do I just have to discuss it with dh and hope he will be reasonable?

Hi there OP We're so sorry to hear you're feeling so worried.

We'd like to echo what all the other posters, some of whom are professionals and medical experts, have said - that you and your daughter are safe and healthy but it does sound like you need to speak to someone in real life about how you are feeling urgently as these feelings of anxiety sound like they are taking over and you shouldn't have to put up with this as it can be resolved.

We'd urge you to call your out of hours GP or midwife and ask for help. If you can't do that, there are a few numbers on our Mental Health web guide here that you could call instead. Just read them out what you've put here on the thread. Or show your husband what you've put here and the responses you've had. He should be able to get the ball rolling for you.

Best of luck. You and your children sound physically fit and healthy - there's no reason why you should have to put up with not feeling happy, too. Do come back and let us know how you get on.

Hi again Eliza. We're going to move this thread over to our Mental Health board in a moment, where we think you will find lots more support and advice. Again though, we would advise you to seek real life help. Mumsnetters are wonderful and have lots of sound advice to give but there's no replacement for RL support.
