Well things are hard at the moment...not only am I trying to juggle things as a single mum with a 3 yr old and a 17 day old, but yesterday my parents separated. It has been on the cards for so long that I dont think any1 believed it would happen....however, yesterday my dad moved out..having eventually realised that its best for the kids and for both my parents sanity.....Its come as quite a shock and my poor mum broke down on me yesterday...things are getting to much 4 her with her medical probs as well as her house bein in total bedlam, so me and the boys are off there in a mo to start decorating her hallway and just offer her some support

Awwww hugs hunny i'm sure your mum will pull thought it after all she has you and her boys, not to meantion the grandkids.

You've been there hunny and know how tough it can and will be.... but you also know there's light at the otherside of the tunnel.

Give her a huge hug from me and please please take it steady and remember your limits it's still early days and i'd hate for the spd to start to flare up from you doing too much! Give it time to settle and go dorment!

Hugs to you all hunny as it must be hard on you too, you know where i am if you need me babes x

What a terrible time you're having! My mum and dad split up a few years ago and, although I was an adult, it was really hard for me to cope with! I hope you and your brothers can hold things together for yourselves and your mum.
At least you have a gorgeous baby!!

Awwww I'm sorry to hear about your parents. Maybe the best thing at the moment would be for you and your Mum to offer each other support and keep each other strong. TBH though, having been a single Mum with Jess from the age of 3mths to 5 years, I can't imagine how tiring (but of course fulfillling) it must be to be raising two littlies on your own. If your Mum has half your strength of character, I'm sure she'll be absolutely fine

it will be very much the routine for your mum and i think the best thing you could prob both do at the moment is try to get out,set days for you all to do things so you both have things to plan for and look forward to and it will keep your mum busy and make her realise she can be happy out of that routine xxxx
