Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Hi All

There is a thread operating on the Lived Experience Forum under Night Shift where members who are having trouble sleeping for any reason give a bit of a shout-out, to see if there is anyone else sleepless and looking for company. It's been such a great thing, I thought I would start one over here too.

I have had the odd few nights where I have woken up on and off, and my kids have been having a bit of trouble some nights too, depending on what has happened during the day.

Being a carer can be lonely too, so if you are making an after-midnight cup of something hot, and wonder who else might be doing that too, maybe have a look-in here and see if anyone else is about.

Sounds lovely @grouchyoldlady ....,

I have a 20-something kidult with an intellectual disability. She is still at home at the moment. Have you contacted Carer’s Australia in support of the life changes underway for all of you ? While I haven’t used their services, there are many here who have, and who recommend them.

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Thank you Faith-and-Hope. I will do so.
While our son was young, we coped quite well with help of family. But these days, all the grandparents and a couple of uncles have passed on, so our pool of help is much reduced.
I worked full-time until a few years ago, but finished partly because our son was becoming very violent and my husband wasn't doing so well.
Currently, we are limping along, both of us being in our 60s and quite ready to stop the hands-on parenting that we do now.
