I've been massively thrown in at the deep end completely out of the blue by becoming a full time mum to my 12 year old stepson after his mum became too ill to care for him in a matter of weeks. My stepson and his mum lived in Wales so there has been zero schooling since he moved in with us in England. I have a struggling business, endometriosis which leaves me with chronic pain and fatigue and I'm an only child so have zero clue how to bring up an almost teenage boy that also has additional learning needs. My partners employers have gone out of their way to make life as difficult as possible for us and although in the last year the longest my partner has been required to stay away was 3 days, over the last 3 weeks it has been 15 days so I'm effectively a single mum. I feel like I am never enough and that then makes me feel low so it's even harder to keep on top of everything. My stepson and I have a great relationship and he seems happy but I constantly feel like shit
