Ohhhh Hun,
Great news that the Chemo has finished, and everything’s looking promising for the Radiotherapy and on to the recovery road. That’s a good milestone to have reached.
So sorry you’re still getting those kind of problems at a time when you should be getting help & support – especially from family members.
Whilst not in an identical situation, I went through similar at a time my mum was really ill – and at a time when the family should’ve been supportive, mum & dad got so much grief from them just because it meant they had to deal with some things that they always left to mum to do.
It really does make me so very angry when I hear of stories like that. I feel for you so much Taxi, my very best wishes to you and my thoughts are with you at this time. Hang on in there, Hun.
All our love and plenty of Hugs

Not been about today due to chemo and some background family stuff going on which i can't go into on here.
:grouphug:i'm even angrier today but can't talk about that either.
kids who'd have them ?
Families - you can't live with them and you can't shoot them.
You can't really eat them either (they're a bit tasteless and sometimes give you the runs) - so it's probably the salt mine for them...

Sending hugs here too Taxi. As for the family stuff, be selfish for a change and think about what you need - if that means leaving them to self destruct then so be it.No longer using this account for new posts from 20130

Hi Taxi,
Delighted to hear that the chemo is over, and sorry to hear about family stuff distracting you from focusing on *you*.
Families, eh? Can't live with 'em...;)
Hope things pan out well, and importantly, quickly.
Take care of yourself and knock a few heads together if required...pull a guilt trip if required. Pickle said so.xxx

Wish I could leave it to self combust but I can't ...this is serious business and sod it I'm going to post as it as I'm at my wits end.
DD1..is on self destruct drinking and partying too much and hasn't took DGS to school for weeks..parties she's had at her house have resulted in the police visiting and involving social services.Because he hasn't been to school they want to help her sort herself out by doing an assessment of her lifestyle but she isn't cooperating with the agencies.If she doesn't cooperate they will take my grandson into care whilst they do the assessment...SS services haven't even contacted me about this....what is also bad is do you remember thatDS took his baby daughter from his ex as she wasn't interested in the baby...well it turns out he isn't that good with looking after her either and has been leaving her at DD1S for days on end...so when police visited baby was there and now has been put on a vulnerable list.
Reports that have been sent to DDS house say that dgs is a happy loveable boy,clean well fed but their concerns are her drinking and lack of school...there is no talking to her...
I have a 2 bed house and DD2 lives here...I could send her to live at DS3 house down the road.I am not well enough to care for a 5 year old for a few weeks yet and certainly not a 1 year old as well....am at my wits end.
why oh why can't she cooperate ..she was due a meeting with the authorities at 10am yesterday in her house and didn't answer the door.
I would take them both in rather than them go in care but can't see SS services allowing that due to my illness and the 2 beds.
cannot believe what selfish !!!!!!!s they are being.
As for DS3 he is bi polar and has got in a muddle with his rent as I've not kept an eye on the ball but can easily be solved.
so very weepy at the moment as don't know what to do0 -
Awww Taxi. I'm not sure what to say. Has DD1 always been like this or has something triggered it? Have you tried talking to SS to see how the land lies? Please take care.
