    I know the feeling of isolation. It can be tough spending long periods of time in hospital or locked away or even not being able to join in 'properly' when out. I always think to myself that I'm doing it for him. I do struggle though and seeing friends can be really tough if they have children or not so I have come to rely on routine and set activities to keep me sane. My son also spent the first three years having about 5hours of sleep a night I can only imagine how you must be feeling with 2-3 it really did me in but in the last week he has his safe bed set up and I've been advised to leave him there and I feel much better knowing he's safe and I can sleep. The whole world feels a bit easier after some sleep. I hope your feeling a bit better x
