I'm now a single parent

[squirrel996]

So we have decided to separate, he is moving out on saturday and I am moving to a lovely new ground floor flat next weekend. So i am now a disabled single parent of 2 girls, an 11yr old and a very lively 3 yr old! I'm lucky that I do have a PA who is a godsend and really helps and does my housework for me too. I apparently am getting reassessed to have more care to take over what my (ex) husband did for me, helping me get ready for bed etc. So I will have help in the evenings too hopefully.
I'm so looking forward to living in a flat! It's not adapted but it is fully accessible and better than living here in a house with an upstairs :)

Hello squirrel. It sounds like you are looking forward to the next stage of your life, I hope everything goes well with your move!

Sorry to hear that but it sounds like your needs are going to be taken care of. good luck with the reassessment xx

Good Luck

I am still struggling to understand how mainstream families cope without a wheelchair in the house,

My ds even wrote poems about how I was his favourite person because I had hoists crutches wheelchairs and a POWER BED!

And wheelchair users are just the right height for kids - how do mainstream parents cope when all they can see of their kids are their partings in their hair.

Lots of luck with your new chapter
