Sorry I’ve not posted for a while – I’ve had issues going on and my mind has been elsewhere.
When a problem arises at home, especially when it concerns my children it amazes me where I find the strength, the oomph, the energy to find an answer.
I feel quite shit though because I’m going through so many resources – I’m tired, so very tired, I’m not sleeping and you know what? I still don’t feel like I am anywhere nearer ‘fixing’ the problem.
Mental health issues are a b@&£/)£ they really are.
I myself have been there and in the end resorted to anti depressants and counselling. It was counselling that saved me and I would recommend it to anyone – you’ve just got to find the right therapist for you.
However when mental health issues start affecting my children (attacking their innocent minds) – according to ‘Officials’ “you’ve got to wait until they ask for help” because he’s now 18.
This is not what I want to hear!! I can see he needs help, I want to try and help before things get worse…. before this horrible illness affects drains him of what he used to be, before it affects his work, his future.
So for now all I can do is ‘research’ and offer ‘suggestions’. He’s currently at his dads this weekend – I’m sat in a lovely hotel room, being pampered by my husband and all I can think about it my son.
I’ve even cancelled a long weekend away to the Cotswolds because I don’t want to leave him on his own. Wouldn’t forgive myself if I wasn’t there when we needed me.
