I'm struggling

I need to let off a little steam and I don't want to burden anyone I know irl with my problems so apologies in advance.

so basically I'm 24 weeks pregnant. I was somewhat prepared for looming 3rd baby in September but we had a house fire at the end of May and now everything is up in arms, everything I had for baby and had all neatly packed away is now in bags for life. We're staying at the in-laws which is fine but I don't know if we will be back in our house in time for this baby. And if not that's going to be a nightmare. My son is 7 and he is a really well behaved boy. But the last few days he's been really difficult and tbh I don't even think he has been I think just everything is getting on top of me and my fuse is really short. Yesterday he came home from school having only eaten his frube yogurt and nothing else. He said his lunch box smelled. (It dosnt)

my daughter has just turned 2. She's into everything, constantly climbing something she shouldn't be, or has something in her mouth that she shouldn't, she's also being assessed for autism at the moment and discipline as much as it might be suggested isn't really doable. She dosnt compute anything I say and is non-verbal.

I just feel like everything is falling apart. We're going on holiday on Friday and frankly I'm dreading it. I know it will be good while we're away it's just getting ready to go that's killing me.

and if all that wasn't enough I don't drive and my sons school is 45 minutes walk. So there and back twice a day is 3 hours out of my day.

I just feel like crying. I don't expect anyone to read all this. So if you have Thankyou

Oh my goodness, I'm not surprised that you're struggling! What an awful thing to have happened to your house. Hugely traumatic and disruptive, without the added worries of the autism assessment, and trying to keep everything going for the others.

Unfortunately I don't have any advice for you except for go easy on yourself and take any and all support offered. I'm not even in th UK so can't recommend any charities or support groups.

I really hope things start looking up for you soon 💐
