Just need a hand to hold really.
I left my emotionally abusive relationship on Monday, myself and DS are staying with my elderly parents.
All was ok ish for the first few days as I was working nights and DS was with his DF (my ex-ex DH, not latest arse), but I'm drowning today. DS returned from his DF's and has been just a bit difficult (going straight on iPad, not listening, not tidying up after himself etc) but I'm on mega-ultra alert as I'm trying not to impede on my parent's home too much as they have already moved furniture and sleeping arrangements for us to be here.
The house is a tiny 2 bedroomed house with one bathroom so we are literally on top of each other.
I'm having a major wobble right now as bedtime was challenging to say the least (DS lied about brushing his teeth, and tonight is the first night we've all been here, so we are struggling with camp beds, sleeping bags etc) and I'm now hiding in my parents room as they have the TV on soooooooo loud downstairs with Mrs Brown's Boys blasting out. I'm also acutely aware of my DM's level of alcohol dependency this evening, and after 5 days of wanting to rip my lungs out from the amount of passive smoking I'm doing, I'm ready to go and live under the nearest bridge.
I'm so appreciative that they have put us up, but my god - this is harder than I thought it would be

He was so nervous! I walked him to the bus stop and there was someone he knew so he visibly relaxed and he's been fine since. They've been back a week and you'd never know how much turmoil he had over Easter.
ExP is still under the impression that he can stay in the house and is planning on remortgaging to finance buy me out - now, I'm no expert but I'm a squillion percent sure that's not how it works!
I've been looking at bunk beds on eBay for myself and DS - camping isn't going massively well as he spends every night that it's his turn on the blow-up bed asleep on the floor and once I'm on the blow-up bed, I'm like a beached whale and can't move!
Had a down day yesterday but on an even keel today
