Just looking for some advice/support i guess

[Iclemyer]

My mam just called me at work to say she has walked out on my dad. They look after my almost 3 year old son while i come out to full time work. I've spoken to my mam briefly and she said theres no way she's going to go back. I've been doing really well lately seeing positives in things really well and now i feel numb, I'm worried about my mam im worried I'll have to give up work, I'm terrified I'm going to lose the progress I've made.

Sorry for posting, thanks for reading

Hi Dianne,

You need to stay calm and not panic, which it sounds like you're doing a bit here. It must be really hard, but you need to keep seeing the positives in things. I'm sure your mum has her reasons for leaving your dad, and I'm sure she'll talk to you about them in time. You need to be there for her as much as you can be, but you also need to look after yourself too. Don't let yourself be in any triggering situations. I'm sure your mum will understand that.

In terms of having to give up work to look after your son, just try to take things one step at a time. I know that's easier said than done, but don't worry about things that you can't control. Things usually have a way of working out.

So take care and look after yourself. Concentrate on the positives and keep thinking about how much progress you've made.

sometimes it is for the best when parents split up.
im sure you wont have to give up work. even though your parents have split up it doesnt mean your relationship has to change.

speak to both your parents and see how they feel about lookinf after your son still.

Thanks for your replies, I was panicking over everything, I tend to do that lately :S Things have worked out ok I think, Mam phoned me when I finished work, her and Dad had a talk and stuff and Mam's back home with us. It's just hard sometimes when things look like going wrong. I really appreciate the support. Xx
