JakB in crisis!

Hi guys,
Sorry I've not been in touch for so long. Been having a truly horrible time. My DH has been made redundant, we have a really difficult situation at DD's school and my DS has turned into the child from hell! (tantrums all day, trapping his sister under the trampoline and generally being a real handful). Feeling really, really overwhelmed by it all. I can't talk about the school thing, but it is SO stressful and I have DD at home. aaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111

oh JakB, how awful for you:( it may do you better to talk about the school thing, what has happened?

OMG JakB. I was wondering how you were getting on. Do you have people coming in to help out with dd? Hope your dh gets something sorted soon.

Sorry, know I'm being completely selfish not even going on other threads etc but just feeling so crap. Luckily we do have a dual placement so have ABA in the afternoons. Just too much all at once, I think. Not like me to totally lose it! Can't talk about the school thing as really confidential and some mums on here whose children go to the same school.

Oh dear JakB, sorry to hear this. I was thinking of you last week as I saw an article by you in a mag! BH and I keep threatening to organise another meet-up too which made me think of you. I hope things get better. xxx

I hope things get better for you soon. So sorry to hear you are going through the mill.

Blu · 02/05/2006 20:55

JakB - thatt's a hell of a lot to have on your plate.
So sorry.
is ther anything that anyone can help with? Probably not.

The trapping under the trampoline - was your dd ok? I hope so...it does sound slightly funny....

The DD school thing sounds AWFUL, if you have her at home.

A lot to cope with.

Saker · 02/05/2006 20:56

Sorry you are having such a hard time. I hope things get better for you very soon.

reiver · 02/05/2006 21:56

Why is it that everything bad seems to happen all at once? Sorry to hear things are difficult for you. Take care.

Blossomhill · 02/05/2006 22:09

:( JakB, so sorry to hear you have all this going on at the moment.

I know what you mean about being careful about talking about school. I am always dubious about posting things like that.

If you do need to offload hun then please do so offline (email), you should still have my address :).
Hugs xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

heartinthecountry · 03/05/2006 15:23

Oh no! So sorry JakB - it all sounds really shitty. Thinking of you.

springgreens · 03/05/2006 22:31

I've been meaning to be in touch with you JakB. Sorry to hear things are hard on all fronts, thinking of you and try to take good care of yourself. xxx

dinosaure · 04/05/2006 14:08

Jak B, I'm so sorry to hear that you're having such a ghastly time. I really fervently hope that things take a turn for the better for you all, and soon.
