      Some days I just feel unable to cope with it all. I mean, I’m just one person, a single mum, unable to be the mum I want to be because I have to deal with him on some level and my child’s challenging behaviour – feels pointless right? Leaves me feeling like I want to leave it all behind. Walk away x

      Have recieved a couple of ‘comments’ from friends recently as well, as I’m not working, ‘Ive been to work, remember what that was like?’, its an underlying resentment isnt it and a lack of understanding. I would LOVE to be in a position where I could go to work and look after my children – with support. Have a normal life, look forward to and plan days out and time with folk only I cant touch that – yet x

        Hi fizzylem. I hear you, it’s mother’s guilt. We all those feelings constantly because we are stuck in these situations. I’m sure you are a great mum and doing the best you can. My oldest just said to me tonight – Mum you do everything for us and never put yourself first, can I put the washing away for you. Although he is young he sees what I do and your children will one day see this too. We sacrifice ourselves for their survival. Keep you head up high and stay strong. We always think we are not doing enough but they will one day see we are doing everything we can xx
