Happyoaks can help
Sometimes things just don't work out
Sometimes, despite all the hard work you put in, and the sleepless nights you have endured, things are not right at home. The endless whirl of shopping, cleaning, cooking, ferrying people around, paid work, voluntary work, paperwork, managing finances and managing other people’s expectations is creating rifts between you, and home is not the safe, loving, nurturing environment it is expected to be.
The task of bringing up children and running a family is huge. It is underestimated and undervalued. And it can pull families to breaking point. What happened to the time and energy needed to develop those loving relationships? Loving the children? Loving the spouse? Loving yourself?
Throw into the mix an addiction to alcohol, pain-killers, eating or gambling. Throw in a baby who will not sleep and with whom you are finding it hard to bond. Throw in a child with special needs, such as autism or ADHD. Or throw in a teenager who is refusing school because they are too anxious or depressed to attend, and the CAMHS waiting list is three ice-ages long.
The problems facing families these days can truly seem insurmountable.
Maybe what can help you is a supportive, friendly advocate to walk alongside, and provide the practical, emotional and professional support that you need, in the moment. Someone who is skilled and experienced not only in child raising and domestic matters, but is a counsellor, an addiction expert, a recognised SEN mentor and a qualified teacher.
My aim is to get you back on track, and to help you right now, with the right support for the need, in the way you want it to be given.
You’ll eventually be breezing through the whirl, with loving relationships intact, as fit and healthy as possible, and looking forward to whatever the day, and the future, might bring.
