Hello Sally-Ann, it's lovely to meet you. You've certainly come to the right place to find support for how you're feeling. Caring for parents is a tough job, especially when you're trying to hold a job down, too. Do you get any opportunities to do anything just for you? Do you have any hobbies or interests? X

I study Egyptology and history but its very hard to concentrate.i have brothers and sisters but it seems in just the black sheep.i also have 6 grown up family.but because I left there father due to being a punch bag he has got them to choose.some are realized that it may be in not as bad as there father had told them.sorry its a lot to say in the first message

Hello Sally-Ann, I am sorry to hear you lost your father last year and now with you mum ill it must be a big burden for you. I can understand sitting inside with the curtains closed on a sunny day as I am sure with many others. I hope you can find the site supportive by seeing there are other people who feel the same as you Gemmalouise X
