Hi, new here

Hi I’m Deresha, recently widowed mum/teacher/full time carer to a child who is ventilator dependent via tracheostomy. He is also deaf, autistic (pathway to diagnosis), developmentally delayed, and home educated too. Like many, I spend most days fighting one battle or another. I’m looking to just chat about anything and everything to be honest and make some connections, or just to just to switch off. I (now) get regular respite but this covid life is a lonely one. Anyway, hello 👋
Widow/Mum to a child who is ventilator dependent via tracheostomy, he is deaf and autistic, and homeschooled.

There are many games and other things to take your mind off your busy life.
Take a look at the Coffee Lounge and Recent Discussions.
There are many and varied threads for you to get involved with.
Take care and enjoy.
How are you today?
Glad you've joined us and as mentioned above I'm sure you will find this a very supportive and understanding place. The coffee lounge is always a great place to start getting involved, we play games and chat about anything and everything in that section.
I can certainly empathise with you about how the pandemic has impacted people in terms of feeling lonely and isolated, hopefully we can help give you some relief from those feelings.

thanks again
Gosh you have a lot to deal with bless you, I'm also a widow and was quite young when it happened with two young daughters all now grown up young ladies, here if you need a chat xx
Whilst I am here, can anyone tell me if it is possible to skip to the end of a discussion in order to contribute, without having to scroll through 10s of pages first.? Thanks.
Is that for if you've searched for a specific post? Because if you click on a post from the categories view or from the list of recent discussions it should (hopefully) take you to the most recent page of comments.
