Hi @charlotteh1986 I’m also a Charlotte! My daughter is 3 and has cerebral palsy. It is tough sometimes and I do feel lonely sometimes as I only know one other mum who is in a similar situation and she moved away. Have you looked into if you have a carers centre nearby? Ours is full of friendly people and have a couple of sessions a week to drop into for a coffee and a chat.Happy to have a virtual chat and cuppa if you like!

HI Charlotte,
I'm Zoe, I live in Northampton. I have two children, 6 year old daughter and a nearly 3 year old son. My daughter has a number of conditions. I often feel quite lost and overwhelmed by it all. Today I had a referral phone call with Northamptonshire Carers. If you are in the Rushden in Northamptonshire (not heard of one anywhere else) then you might be able to also find some support from them - they run things for parents and have events and such like. -
Welcome to the community @DarwinianZed! Thank you for sharing this with us. I hope you are able to find out more from Northamptonshire Carers. Please do let us know.

Are you getting out much and interacting at all? It can be so hard managing everything. I've not really done any socialising or playgroups for my toddler for ages and I could do with it - if I can find the time.... -
Thank you for updating us @DarwinianZed. Has the information been helpful?
