I'm a 56 year old widow who has legal guardianship of my autistic grandson, 4, and his big sister, 17.
I have recently been diagnosed with degenerative spine, cervical stenosis and lumbar stenosis. I also have PTSD due to my partner's suicide in July 2015. Hoping to find others with similar problems to chat to.
