So 6 months in, life in limbo, feel crapper now than I did at the start. Don’t have the sick feeling like I did to begin with, now just have an over riding feeling of being defeated. The longer it goes on not knowing anything the worse I feel. Can’t plan, can’t work out what I will do. Don’t even feel like screaming - just want to slink away to a corner somewhere - bit like an animal when it’s dying.

Sorry to hear this. We all have times like this. The other day I was so positive that I was going to write a post on here but then the other day I felt awful and so upset. This feeling is horrible. When I wake in the morning I wish that all of this has disappeared which is what I think all of us wish for then suddenly back to reality.



I havent been on the helpline. Is it good? I just feel talking to someone whose never experienced this isn't going to help me. This site is good as we are all going through it. I think social services are rubbish at helping. Yes I understand their job is to keep kids safe but they havent helped me or offered any help. Just expect me to carry on and adjust to it.



I do hope you feel better soon. A silly thing to say I know but you will have some up days in the future x

Morning Big Sigh,

I can't offer any words to help, all I can say is I feel exactly the same today. I just want to weep constantly. I am very shaky today - high adrenaline I think. The police have applied to the magistrates court to extend my partner's bail. It all feels like "game over" and we're now in the process of discussing how to go about ending our relationship, sell the house etc. I need to think about how to "break up" with my stepchildren. I feel like I'm having my heart broken again and again at the moment. I know what you mean about feeling like a dying animal - I want to crawl into a corner alone.
