smudgies_mum: hugs to you my dear. I appreciate that it is difficult handing over your precious bub to some 'stranger' (who are qualified) to look after her but YOU need to do this for YOU!! Its only a day a week at the moment and that probably enough atm but youll thank your lucky stars you went ahaed and enrolled her ...
Hows the partner? Is he still living there ?
Oh have you got your own individual bank account that he cant get hold of... and if you havent done this ring Centre/family assistance and get Family A & B and get then to send it to you own account.
You will laugh at me ::: heres me a qualified nurse when i was 8 mths pregnant with my first Tom i had a stupid idiot dope smoking **** who i didnt like let alone love but i remember thinking 'ill have to stick this relationship out as i refuse to be in the dole que for single mums' silly me i did have a qualificatin i did have a mind and i could raise my son (which i did and still doing etc) with out d.i.c.k.h.e.a.d.s in put!
