SpiralingDown it really does sound horrid for you and sounds like the time has come where you need your own place....especially if grandfather is hitting grandson......and on his birthday too, poor lamb!
Is there nowhere you can go to see where you stand. What about CAB?
Hope things improve for you both healthwise (stress can't be helping there) and in your personal life ....if anyone deserves some good luck it's you.

If it was FIL I'd be in jail because he was the weak one when his second wife was abusing my DH when he was a child so I'd have murdered him by now but thankfully we don't see much of them.
It was MY dad but I've hit him before for smacking my son so he now goes to hit him but then remembers how hard I'll beat him if he does it again. I don't need to smack my son because he know he's gone too far when he gets the silent treatment and I walk out of the room.
The way I look at it is if I don't need to smack him no one else will. Don't get me wron he's no :A, at least not all the time but there are other ways of punishing him that have more of an impact.

I remember once when he was about 7 or 8 we sat him down and told him that he was to decide what the worst punishment he would give for some one misbehaving would be and that would be his punishment, he thought for a long time and then said that for each time they were bad they would get a toy taken off them and not given back for 2 days and he agreed that this would suit him. After a week he had no toys in his room because he decided to test to see if we'd follow through and done everthing he could to see if we'd punish some other way, he'd done everthing from drawing over all the walls in the house to painting the cat with, thankfully, washable paints and trying to flood the bathroom. The worst bit was he counted all the lines on the walls and put that number of toys into the spare room then told us he wasn't allowed them for 2 days. Talk about feeling guilty we tried to explain that it was only one toy for every bad thing he'd done but he screamed when we tried to take the extra toys out of the room to put back into his own.
It's since then that he's known how far to push things

I'll say goodnight everyone, need to be up early for the school run.
Thanks to everyone for letting me ramble, it's good to be able to vent a little, need to get my cross trainer back, it was a good de-stresser

Well I am now on a downer just worked out how much it's going to cost me to do this autism course. Total cost will be around £239 depending on petrol costs :eek: I never actually added it all up before. I mean it will be worth it in the long run but financially my bank is already thinking ouch

Could you get a grant from somewhere perhaps ?

I wouldn't know where to start, the course itself is free apart from a £25 voluntary fee for the course book, I could skip that but I know they are a charity and so rely on it, might see if they will let me negotiate a little if that isn't too cheeky!
The rest of the money is childcare fee's as I can't take my DD and petrol as it's about 15 miles one way.
I have asked social services to help but that was a week ago and to be honest I am not holding my breath!

I'm off to bed now....tried watching Jasper Carrot (used to love him) but sorry....I'm afraid I think he's had his day!!
I'm finding some of it really cringeworthy!
Night night x

I remember him best from seeing him regularly on the folk club circuit in the early seventies along with other people like Mike Harding and Richard Digance (and a few other names that few will probably know:rotfl:. ) Once he made it onto TV I never quite found him as funny as in his early formative days. Having said that I always find that live performances are much better than TV:)
