essbee - sorry to hear it's not going well today. You son is full of it tonight isn't he. Has he been in all day - mine get really annoying when they have and fight all the time

Chocol8 · 16/10/2004 18:35

Just a thought Essbee, but I have, in my darkest hours called the Samaritans. They listen and you can ball your tits off for as long as you like - in my case it can carry on for hours.

Your ds sounds exactly like mine, and my heart goes out to you hon, it really does. BIG hugs to you. xxx

essbee, I'm sorry you're having such a hard time. He's pushing you as hard as he possibly can, isn't he? FWIW I think you are doing brilliantly - does it help to be able to come and post on here? I know I would miss having another adult around to say "Oh God, you'll never guess what he's done now!" to - well, you have us (and we are going to be miles more sympathetic and useful than ah anyway )

I hope they go to bed at a decent hour tonight and you can get some very much needed "me" time. You must be torn between wanting to strangle him and hug him. Try not to strangle him

I'm just waffling really - just wanted you to know I am hugely sympathetic and sending you big, positive, you can do this, vibes. And "calm down and give your poor Mum a break" vibes to ds.

essbee, hugs. Your ds must love you so much to let loose this anger around you. He must feel safe with you. From what you have said, I really feel he is not doing this to hurt you, or make you cross or sad. He is doing it to express something he feels but can't put into words. I hope you get that educational psychologist appointment quickly via the school. Can your relative - the one with problems - help you find some ways to help your son?

hi essbee, sorry to hear your having a bad time...am off to bed now but sending a hug your way

marthamoo · 16/10/2004 22:32

How's your evening been, essbee? I hope you absence from MN is a good sign (I bet you are spark out on the sofa).

serenequeen · 16/10/2004 22:34

hi essbee, sending best wishes to you and your ds. hope things improve soon.

He's not been banned from my house essbee

How are things today essbee? Sorry I haven't been around much lately - things seem to be manic round here lately. But just to let you know I'm thinking about you.

moomina · 17/10/2004 11:11

Me too - just wanted to check in and say hi. Sorry it's so crappy atm. And of course it's now Sunday - worst day of the week, isn't it? Anything I can do - just let me know. Thinking of you. xx

Hi essbee, just popping in to say Hi and see how you are. My lounge looks like a bomb has hit it - 2 small boys emptying toyboxes.

I have cleaned the toilets and done some laundry - how dull is that for a Sunday?

I don't know. You were feeling a bit better earlier in the week weren't you, so you know that there can be good days ahead

SoupDragon · 17/10/2004 12:35

And let's face it, he's done his best to get banned from the Dragon House

hi essbee - sorry I missed you yesterday - got mugged by ds2 who wanted to play on the pc.

I'm not surprised that you are feeling down if the anniversary of that awful night is here. I don't know what to say except I'm thinking of you and that you are doing the right thing and that things will get better.

Take care of yourself (and the kids)
hugs

wobblyknicks · 18/10/2004 15:01

essbee - you're handling things the best way you can atm which you should be REALLY proud of. Things will get better - I know its an empty cliche right now but one day it will be true and you'll look back on this and realise how brilliantly you were coping with all the sh*te. Hopefully my stuff will calm down soon and I'll be back for some late night chats!! But I still stick to my promise about April - and expect you to take me up on it!!!!

anorak · 18/10/2004 15:02

I agree with everything wk says. Look at all the positive things you are doing!

I do hope you are fine and well. If not, get help. Please.

fiorocious · 21/10/2004 14:18

I am just checking she is around?

SoupDragon · 21/10/2004 14:23

She's at work, Fio.
