Im on my own with ds aged 1 and dd aged 6 weeks. Have had a lot of complications since the birth and infection after infection. The doctors cant seem to identify the problem so just keep giving me different combinations of anti-biotics to see if they will solve the problem but so far I have just been left in agony.
Ds has decided he's not going to sleep through the night anymore and with dd waking up every 3 hours to feed im not getting any sleep. Im exhausted, emotionally and physically and I dont seem to have anyone to turn to. My family do give me help in dribs and drabs but always expect something in return. Im so lonely and tired of coping alone. my social life is none existant and I dont really have any friends. I never get a moment to myself... when the dc's are quiet theres always something that needs to be done and im not sure how much longer I can go on like this.
The worst bit is the constant pain im in. I told my mum this morning as she is a nurse and though she might have some practicle advice but she just got stropy with me and said "oh i suppose i'll have to come over and help you... no one ever considers me needs" and was generally unsympathetic. I feel like im going insane. I really dont know what to do. Im not going to do anything stupid as the dc's need me and there is no1 else to look after them but i just feel if i dont get some help soon im gonna go nuts.
