Hi, i'm new to this forum. Having difficulty sleeping with alot of worries. Looking after my mum who has Motor Neurons disease, 20 year old autistic son and a four year old son who has been refused a place at the 4 schools i had requested. My eldest has beed refused help with transport from the local ed for Sep. as he's already had max. of 3 years help. I've absolutely no help from family, am due to start teacher training in Sep. and am beginning to struggle with all the demands. I'm generally a strong person mentally but i feel i'm losing the battle.This is the only time i have to myself.Anyway,i'm shattered so maybe i'll fill you in on abit more later if i have enough time and energy. Nite.
Hi calkes
I'm sorry that thngs are hard going at the moment. It is so hard when we don't know which way to turn.
Hi honey welcome
you will find great support here x
Hello again, good to hear from you. Would you be able to delay the teacher training for a year or does that complicate things moneywise in that your youngest will be 5 and you would have to come off Income Support?
Hello calkes and welcome along
Wow you have a lot on your plate. Sorry to hear about the transport situation with your eldest, I guess he comes under the umbrella of "adult services" now, and that can be a bumpy transition. How much longer is he at college and are there are plans for afterwards?
Does your Mum live with you? and have you had a check to make sure you are getting all the help you can moneywise? I am thinking DLA/Carer's Allowance-wise
So you are not happy with where your youngest will go to school, is it far or just that you do not rate the catchment school?
