I am terrified of death. I lay there every night with it very unintentionally on my mind. It freaks me out that I will not be here forever and I'm particularly scared of what lies beyond death. I have never been able to believe that we only have one life on this planet, it just can't be possible con...

It really does not help us that our 2 year old has started making bedtimes a battle. I don't understand it. She was going to sleep fine and then it's like she turned two and all of s sudden she's fighting to go to sleep. Last night it took until midnight for her to go to sleep. Most nights it takes ...

I'm a shit mum, the shittiest actually. I cancelled my daughter's swim lessons as she is a strong being who wants to be Independant in the water and she would not do what I had to tell her to do anymore. She is very brave in the water. So I organised private swim sessions . I got given £100 birthday...

I'm really sorry to hear about your family :( is there any way you could meet up with your family you havent met yet? I didn't know if it would be easy for you to do. I'm sure they would love to meet up with you. How much do you know about them? What connection do they have to your close family that...

I feel lost everyday too since I became a first time mum. I've got no bloody clue what I'm doing and Most of the time I feel I can't do anything right. Ive always got worried weighing on my mind. Im good at burying my issues and have avoided them for years by putting on this pretend sense of confide...

It's really tough taking care of kids when members of family rely on you so hats off to you, your doing a brilliant job despite everything. If you don't mind me asking, what are they relying on you for? Also curious because you said the bit about them having a roof over their heads. They shouldn't b...

Why did you want to stop taking them?
