Nothing in particular. I am finding things very difficult at the moment . My DS1 ( mildly autistic) is causing me a lot of stress at the moment. I have been in tears at the school 3 times since they have gone back to school ( 4 weeks I think) and am often crying on the way to work. I don't really get any "head space " at home with 3 little boys constantly battling over something. I am also worried about my mum who is still in hospital . As I am self employed and the main breadwinner I cannot afford to be ill ( or have a holiday ) ... we have big debts ... and I feel like that first domino ...If I fall... so does everything else RAPIDLY. Once I start worrying about one thing I then worry about everything else. Of course it does not help that I drank rather a lot yesterday to relieve the stress ( as you can see it worked...NOT:o)

40Sm - do you have a 'family friends or a local carers group' that can help you?

The one here I think is called 'Homestart', Young carers and 'Crossroads' I think you can apply to them for a 'befriender' or someone to help out with children with additional needs for an hour or so to give you and the other kids a breather (my pals chum has an autistic son, and another one has a deaf child and they have someone come once a week) it sounds exhausting me dear.

I know about being the main breadwinner ((())) its scary and lots of pressure especially when you are self employed and your mum to worry about and the kids xx

To be hoenst - I put that particular pressure (working mum stuff etc) down to alot of my drinking - just to switch off my head after such a mad full on day working, mum, kids etc - And I don't have your circumstances (IE 3 boys - ONE fighting with his sister is totally is bad enough!!)

EEEEK I haven't helped at all! Hugs hunny thinking of you for sure xx xx
