Family holiday disaster ????
Notifications OFF
Hi All.
My children's father (my ex husband) was sentenced to 27m in May.
To say we've all been devastated is the understatement of the year.
I've had a nervous breakdown as this is the final thing after years of abuse. My poor children have endured to much and this holiday has been booked and moved twice since 2019.
I decided that despite my breakdown I would push through and take my children abroad to a resort we usually come to every year. I envisioned sunny beach days and healing our hearts.
It's been exactly the opposite.
Probably due to my break down, I've found the pre departure swab for my teenager, the covid passes, the Spanish locator form, the waiting for the pre return flight swab, the UK PLF and the day 2 home test utterly nerve-wracking.
I've been an emotional wreck the whole holiday. Unable to cope with severe anxiety and fear.
To top it all off, on day 2 of our 7 night stay my daughter got a puncture wound to her foot in the sea and required 3 stitches in her foot. She's since been unable to swim at all and it's ruined her time here.
Can anyone else relate to feeling utterly broken, unable to cope and wondering how they'll ever be a normal mum again?
I feel so sorry for my children. They've lost so much and now I'm a wreck

Ahh I am so sorry u have had an awful time away, when u should have been chilling x
Oh Jillymanilly I'm so sorry you are feeling this way.
I bet you are doing amazing trying to navigate your way through something that you have no guidance for. I am a mum to small young children and it is the hardest ever to try and imagine some kind of normal after all this is done. We are early on just waiting for phone to be checked by the police m, they have had it since March.
I too just want to be a normal mum but life has changed overnight in a way that I could never have imagined.
You have come this far, sending a virtual hug
