Just a short break from blogging

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. School is part of the problem for him, but with his behaviour at rock-bottom, school is very definitely part of the solution for me. I could not have him at home all day with his behaviour like this because… I don’t know what, just because.  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.

    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.
