Leaving my children

6 replies

sgiasm · 31/03/2022 18:19

I have 3 dc from 2yrs onto 10 yrs. I'm also married. I just can't do this anymore all 3 are high maintenance including one with a disability. I honestly believe that they will be better off with other parents that know how to be a parent and not as stressed as iam. Me and dc went on a day trip at the weekend and i just ended up getting stressed and snappy at them when it's not there fault at all I love them to bits and just want the best for them my dd is very smart and talented but i can't afford private school or clubs so she cant nurture her talents . My husband is lazy and does f all apart from dinner dishes. He never comes out with us or does the School run or attend ds appointments or meetings etc.
I really do love my kids but They need more then i cant give

Bless you sgiasm; one person can't look after 3 kids and another, lazy adult. Its too much, and there's nothing left for you. Flowers

Is there a charity and support group for the disability your child has? Contact them and ask for help.
Is there an Young Carers group near you? They support children who have caring responsibilities for siblings and parents. They should be able to give some support to your DD.

My dd doesn't care for her brother in anyway. That's probably the only thing I've done

Young Carers dont mind how much actual hands on caring she does. Give them a call.
I'm sorry no one else has answered your post, I'll give this a bump.

Hi, OP.

Sorry to hear you're feeling like this. Here's a link to our Mental health webguide - you might find some resources on there which help with the stress that you're under.

We hope you don't mind but we're moving your thread to our Mental Health forum now - we hope that others who have been through similar struggles might be able to offer some support there.

That sounds so hard OP.

You definitely need some support and I hope you can get it. Please do reach out to the organisation suggested above.

But, honestly, your daughter doesn't need private school. That's beyond most people. Stop being so hard on yourself and putting yourself under unnecessary pressure XxX
