What do I do Ladies???

[AbbynChloe]

I am desperate for some advice

I have suffered with a chronic muscle disease for around 8 years now. I have periods where I am well, and times where I have been very very ill.

Last year I was very very ill, the fob was ok, there was a lot of fighting - trying to get more support and help with looking after Chloe. Usually it got to the point where I was being wheeled away in an ambulance before he would pull his finger out.

Anyways it all came to a head where I acutally had to consider getting an emergency foster family for Chloe should I be taken ill again. My HV called a meeting where she was there as well as my doc, my adult social worker and a child social worker me chloe and fob. In the meeting they all clubbed together and basically told FOB to step up and be a father!!!

well I got better and things started looking up - well me and FOB still but what can I do??

So now I feel myself getting ill again and am literally worried sick that I am going to to have this battle all over again and it is making me so so depressed I don't want my baby going to a foster family

You've got a really difficult situation going on there hun it can't be easy.

My childminder is paid to do a thing, where social services pay her to look after a child during the day whose parents are struggling to cope, as this help stops the kids going into foster care otherwise (I guess other mums get stressed, not just ill).

Would something like that not be helpful for you?
