Hi @Emma_Parnell

A very very big welcome to you this evening.

I'm very sorry to hear that you are currently struggling.

I had to take early retirement a few years ago so I do spend all day at home on my own once everyone has gone to work and colledge.

Mind you I have got a cat who comes & go's just as bad.

They think I have gone barmy now as I sit talking to the cat.

I keep telling them I went barmy years ago !!!!!!!!!!!!

If you want to discuss what is going on for you I’m sure there are people on here that would be happy to make suggestions.
