I currently feel at the lowest I've felt in such a long time. I'm living at my mother in law's with my partner, son and brother in laws, 300 miles away from my family. I have my partner in my ear 24/7 having ago and snapping at me for absolutely no reason witch is mentally breaking me. Im constantly picking up after the 3 other men that live in this house, I work 4 nights a week, look after my son and take him to his appointments because he has arfid. I forget to eat 5 out of the 7 days a week. My partner lives his life like he has no responsibility's, going out whenever he wants leaving everything to me, and doesn't seem to be in any rush to work and blames it on the fact he doesn't drive. My hair and eyelashes are falling out in clumps due to stress. Not private estate agent will accept me and the council are I'm not hurry to help house me.

I'm sorry for ranting I'm just struggling to cope and have not one else to talk to, my problem is I do to much for others and put everyone else first before myself. They all know I'm soft and they most certainly take advantage of that.

Can you go home to your family? It might feel a bit drastic right now but knowing you have the option might help you feel more grounded while you think about what to do next 💐

Yes, would your family take you in? Assuming they're supportive, it seems to me like you and your child would be better served by being 300 miles away from this mess.

This won't help your son's ARFID @boymum1xx he needs you to model eating regularly and a suitable amount, for him to see how it's done. Also you must eat to improve and take care of your health to care for you and your DS. x

It sounds like mayhem, I'd definitely consider moving out if I were you.

@OldFan Aw thanks 😊I just took a break, kind of intending to quit, but a zombie thread notification got me peeking again, and then it was a quick slide back into posting 😁.

😂 It is addictive. 😀 But you always give such good advice, you could write some sort of book of C12 wisdom, if you haven't already.

Have you spoke with a local councillor to see if they can help you with housing ?
i found it easier being a single parent than picking up the slack from a partner who is not pulling their weight. I hope things get better for you.
