Good Morning All x
Wet and miserable today after the brightness of yesterday afternoon.
The meeting of yesterday with a " 12 " year old woman went well and proved that there was a long hard slog ahead with D and myself helping put some stability into the lives of the children as things have got out of hand with them ruling their mother. It's by no means their faults as this is such a long story going back to 2011, so a lot of hard work ahead.
The co-ordinator is from an independent source who works in family group meetings to help get things back on track as regards support for those who are " losing their way " in child-rearing. My GD at the moment is very low, but has said little about her feelings and has suffered in silence.
I've been racking my brain as to what I can do to help, which is anything really within my capabilities. The thing which scares me most and always has is if I had one or two of the children and suffered one of my A/Fib " turns " which needs immediate A&E involvement such as it did 2 weeks ago, out of the blue.
I'll think of something, even if it's taking her heaps of washing and ironing to do to lessen the load and cooking two or three meals a week for them all. The practical help will give a lift and help GD rest and keep her calm.
The first meeting takes place on 4th of November where our decisions on which areas of help we can offer comes into play. The children's father who lives with his dad will also be included, though a sick man who himself has been traumatised through illness ( cancer in 2017 ) but is still capable of having a couple of the children now and again.
Ah well, onwards and upwards so it is said. Thankyou to those who've voiced their concerns x
After all that I'm thinking of Gillybob too because her life has a lot of similarities to mine when I was her age and it's tough with no let-up. I hope things are improving with her.
I also hope everyone has a decent enough day.
