I would NEVER think you would do anything to hurt him honey!!

All that you are feeling is normal and there is nothing wrong with you. You are far from being a crap Mum. If you were..you wouldnt be here worrying about it and seeking help and venting it. You wouldnt give a toss! You are a wondeful mother, it's just a difficult time.

Ok so we can establish family support is not really possible for the time being. Can I suggest seeing your MCHN or your GP? He/she may be able to put you onto someone you can chat to or a service that you can perhaps get a bit of assistance once or twice a week. Everyone needs something and some sort of outlet.

Dont feel that you cant ask for extra assistance if you need it ok hon.

Also don't ever feel that you cannot be open and honest in here. In the whole time here in this forum I don't feel I have ever been judged and have never been made to feel bad or awful for anything. Vent til your hearts content.


Personally today I am absolutely livid with the ppl that live behind us. They constantly harass our dog by throwing balls at the fence and we have come home before to find things like lighters and pocket knives in our back yard. At one stage one of them actually jumped our fence to get a ball without even bothering to come and ask for it. Today Jess (our dog) had been barking like a trooper and it's no wonder. They have had their ball go over twice. The first time they were prepping to jump the fence but I went outside so I busted them. Since then they have thrown something hard at the fence and knocked part of it down into our yard. The ball has come back over but this time I have got it and they are not getting it back. I also busted them throwing a really sharp bit of wood at the dog when I was watching them from the corner of the yard they couldnt see me in.
I told them if I ever saw them doing anything like that again the cops would appear on their doorstep!
Would you call the cops??? It's harrassing Jess and constantly drives us nuts. I really hate it cos I dont want problems with the neighbours BUT they are ******* neighbours!!!
What would you do??

OK I can hear her going off at the again. I am on a mission to bust them in the act so I can go off my tree. This is not good enough!! Btw they are only kids like about 16 years old. My aunty used to be good friends with their Mum and I see her now and then. Thats the main reason I dont want to call the police. I don't want to cause problems there. Oh well..I have to look after me and my family I guess.

Ok well I will go and sort something out. I wish DH was home.
