Life is not going well at the moment. Instead of blogging, I have been attempting to take care of the problems in my family. Sometimes I go on the internet to google things like ‘how to discipline a child who doesn’t care about being disciplined’, ‘counselling for a child’ and other such things. I want to be the best parent to him I can be and my parenting skills are not as probably not as good as they could be. I’m working on that. Hard. We are starting counselling too because I’m not too proud to admit I can’t do this on my own.
Parenting is hard work.
I have coped with very serious post-natal depression, my child being diagnosed with a devastating disease and other life-related problems, but this? This is close to breaking me.

Take care, do your best, and we’ll see you soon.X
Ella, I don’t know what to say so I’ll just give you a big virtual hug. ‘Real life’ is more important and if it needs your time then so be it. The ‘virtual’ world will be here when you come back.
I really hope things work out for you and will be thinking of you, try to stay strong xx
Oh, I’m sorry. Whoever said we’re only given what we have the means to handle was WRONG. Sometimes bad things just happen. It sucks and it’s not fair, and I think you’ve been doing marvelously well at coping. You and and yours are good people and deserve a little bit of light at the end of the tunnel. I wish I could give you some, and I hope things become managable soon.
I’m sorry you’re having such a rough time. I hope things ease up a bit for you.
I’m not exactly sure what you are going through but reading your post, I could have written it. I’m sorry, because I know how hard it is.
you poor thing – googling for cures is well, umm, something I do and I’ve always scared myself witless, much better to blog about it and get some support, I hope things improve x
Just wanted to say, I hope things are getting easier for you now.
