Its just me and my ten year old son. Father left a month before he was born and never seen him. My mum has always been part of his life, always been just the three of us as my dad and brother died 13 years ago. She's had alzheimers for the past five years and had to go into a nursing home earlier this year. She's only 60 and won't last the new year.
Im finding it hard to deal with my own grief, let alone my sons. He's had half his world just disappear. We have no other family. Ive arranged for him to have counselling but find myself shouting at him for the smallest thing. Just cant cope. I feel so alone. Dont know what to do.
Anyone been in this situation?
