I just need some shoulders to cry on

[Everrgreen]

I'm having a horrible day. I am so sick (stomach bug). DS is getting over the same stomach bug and is still not well. I'm tired and I feel horrible. I can't help myself and I can't help DS. And I want to be done with all of this. And I'm so lonely. I just need a hug and for someone to take care of me and tell me it'll be okay. I can't do this, I'm not strong enough for this kind of stuff. Everyone keeps saying I'm strong, but I'm not, I'm really not. I know some of you seem to have so many more complications in your life and you're still holding it together. But I'm completely falling apart. I don't want to do this anymore.

Hugs! It is extra extra hard when your ill, even worse when your ill and your dc is also ill. I wish you a speedy recovery!

life as a single parent is hard at time especially when you and your lo are not well.
I hope your both feeling well soon.

Oh I have so been there! About three months after ex left both the kids and I got a stomach bug. It was horrible!!! I can completely feel your pain!

You are strong enough to do this! If I can do it, anybody can (trust me when I say that I'm not exaggerating that!). You are in a hard place right now. All three of us are currently sick right now (awesome!) but this time it's only a cold and I tell you that it is a walk in the park compared to a stomach bug! The good thing is that you will both be better soon and it things won't look so bad.

I never thought I would cope as a single mother but I am and you can too!

Take it easy on yourself and I hope you guys are feeling better soon.

Also, I know what you mean about needing a hug, sometimes Mama's need looking after too!

Sounds like you are in a really tough place right now. Hang in there. It will get better.
