I need some words of advice.
I have had a chronic pain condition for 5 yrs. I've learnt to live with it with the help of medication and other things. Over the last 12 months, I've been diagnosed with 2 further conditions which have left me housebound, unable to work and in a wheelchair. This is unlikely to improve. I am having further investigations for other underlying issues.
I am struggling to process all of this. And I have 4 young children. All of my physical and mental energy goes into them, leaving no time to sort through me. My husband has taken on everything around the house and childcare as well as working full time. I need him but he is busy all of the time. I am saturated with the kids. Because I am not mobile, they sit on me all of the time. They moan, fight, cry, just like normal children but I can't take it any more. I don't have the strength to be their mother.
Please help me.
