    Nope not a bad mum at all Lou, just a mum who's struggling as I've said to you before there ain't no shame in that.

  • Lou, a bad Mum wouldn't care as much as you do. 4 year old boys are hard work without all that stuff crashing around in your head, be kind to yourself, treat yourself as well as you treat others. Get all the help you can get and take it one day at a time. I'm thinking and praying for you x
  • Hi Lou, hope you're ok, you haven't posted for a few days and am hoping everything is ok with you. X

    tor - he's not really hyper these days. if anything he's a lazy toad. he just knows how to wind me up. 4 going on 14 i think.

    still plodding on. i'm tired. miserable weather isnt helping that tiredness. half term means we're all out of routine. that just adds to the anxiety. head isnt in a great palce at all over the past few days. hence the reason for not posting. i just want to hide away from everything and everyone.

    Just keep in touch Lou, you have an extended family here and can ask anything of us and we will always try to help.

    I am confident that you will pull things together and it will just be a little thing that is needing to fall into place to make your family unit work again.

    Just wanted to reinforce that you are not a bad mother, I have worked with mothers who didn't give a damn, and anyone can tell that you only want the best for your two boys. Bringing up children is a challenge for most people and very few sail through it without problems, so please don't feel like you're alone. We do the best we can but we sometimes make mistakes because we're only human too.

    Hang on in there. I hope it all settles soon, but please don't be afraid to ask for help.

    Go and speak to my mate about the abuse. Here's his blog http://whatislove-2010.blogspot.co.uk/

    You can contact him via his blog, but if you want his name on facebook I'll PM it to you. There's more of us out there than you would think, and somehow we are surviving. Hugs xxx
