@Ross_Scope it can be hard imean I know some ppl have said to me that they wouldn't dare hometeach there kids as they aren't teachers and we dont get paid for it but you know what my kids education means alot to me I hometeach 5 kids I do enjoy it
-
I'm glad that you enjoy it, despite the hard work, and that the school have been providing your kids with the equipment they need @Ibelive2020 Education is certainly really important, so I'm sure that your kids appreciate your help!

I hid my depression for more than 20 years. I suffer from PTS due to a road traffic accident that changed my life forever. For me, my life was like being an actor because i did not want to let people know that i was suffering. I would be all smiles on the outside and dying on the inside. When i was in a room full of people i felt like i was the loniest person on the planet.I was told by counsillors to grab onto things that make you happy, and i do just that. Anything that makes me happy i grab hold of it. I refused help for many years but i was amazed how much speaking to a councillor helped. I then learnt to open up to my wife and i could not believe how better i felt. I find getting in the car and going to the beach helps me a lot or driving in the country side makes me happy. Sadly, i do not have any friends to interact with as after my accident i pushed them away. So, for the past twenty years my support network is my wife and my daughter.If you can find a hobby that makes you happy then it will really help.

-
Thank you for sharing @happyfella. I'm glad that seeing a counsellor helped so much
Have you considered joining any online groups or activities to meet new people, such as an online choir? Hopefully the community can now be part of your support system too!
-
They must be flying through it @Ibelive2020! Have you had a look online for more free educational resources to keep them occupied?
@KimLawtherAT posted a really useful website on homeschooling during coronavirus earlier, which you might like to take a look at.
BBC Bitesize also have lots of free resources. -
