Lynny,

I've been off line for a few days, but I just wanted to echo the other Junnies...hang in there babe it will get easier. When does Jess go back to school? That will make things a little easier for both girls I'm sure. Glad to hear you and dh are all loved up (well slushy messaged up ) again. Know what you mean about not feeling able to cope with the two of them...I live for the days that ds goes to mil's - not that I would be without him but two is so much harder than just double one - I know you know what I mean

Anyway - just wanted to say hi, and like the others, hope to see you back with the Junnies soon

well, we had a break from dd1 but somehow managed to have the mother of all fall outs and did not speak for most of the weekend. In fact I honestly felt like I could do something really bad !!! (smash something or leave !!)
How can a really happy ,long standing relationship take such a turn like this?
Most of the time I wish I could run away with the baby....why is that?
Anyway DH phoned me today from work and announced that he had taken enough stuff for the week so if I did not want him to come home he would stay there!!!! but he also said I love you very much and want to come home.
I think that was a little bit of emotional blackmail as I don't remember saying that I wanted him to stay away but anyway he is coming home.........
I wish I was happy. I wish I was not driving my lovely husband up the wall!!!!!
I wish my dd1 was not like she is and always going to need everything doing for her. Seeing my new baby do everything my dd1 could not do is going to be harder than I thought and I am scared to admit that one day I am going to have to find somewhere for her to live so that we can have a "normal life"
well now I have made everyone utterly miserable I am going to go and cuddle the baby and walk round and round in circles with daughter no1
bye for now

Lynny, I feel exactly the same when things are bad with my dh. I want to run away with the baby. God knows why, it'd certainly be a lot less stressful to run away without him But naturally that is not an option.

In fairness to Mr Lynny, I will say that he probably thought he was being helpful by offering to let you have a break from him if it would help. But I can also see how that may have felt like emotional blackmail, it's all in the tone of voice, isn't it? You're not driving him up the wall, you're both in an incredibly difficult situation and you're both handling it as well as you can.

You absolutely must not feel guilty for considering residential options for Leona. It's early days and it's only reasonable to consider every option whilst you decide what's best for your family. I know you won't rush into any decision, and everything will undoubtedly be better when Jess comes out of her insane reflux phase (keep the champers on ice for that!)

Have you been able to think about getting some help during the days? What about Homestart if they have that in your area?

As Coop says, please keep posting, please keep focused on what the issues are with you and dh so they don't overwhelm you.

Take care lovey - thinking about you xxx

I mentioned Homestart earlier too. They are brilliant out here and I am sure could help you. That is what they are there for and it is not as formal as some routes you could take. Agree totally with Trib.
(hugs to you too Trib!)
Take care

have you tried letting her sleep on her tummy my dd sounds like urs and she had a few weeks that she would scream then we tried putting her on her tummy and that was it shes now 5 months and is the happiest wee thing (although could have strangled her today as she has the cold and cried non stop). things got so much better after she got to lie on her tummy. i only let her do that when i was about but now she rolls on her tummy anyway so not much i can do about it
