Single parent with illness. Hard times.

Single parent with a 6 year old ,i have been housebound with multilevel degenerative lumbar disc disease for the past 7 months ,Having problems with school no longer able to support us on helping getting my child to school ,So much stress and worry I don't need .. also benefits are all changing over to universal credits which has been an added stress dealing with it all my own has been awful .. but managed eventually. Inner strength getting us through day by day along with a therapist helping me to be able to walk again. I so long to be able to do things with my child again.

Hi ,thanks for replying, school says they've provided substantial support which they have done for the past couple if months we.ve had a teacher picking my son up and bringing him home . But this ends after Xmas.they feel it's up to me now to arrange it. I rely on my friend a mum from school which is pregnant has a wee girl and 2 boys ,she's got her hands full but still collects my son and brings him home on the days the teacher doesn't. I reached out to family and children support /social care and they can't help with pickups %drop offs either.. It is what it is. I've applied for a taxi card which provides a small discount on travel so that's my plan after Xmas to get my boy to and from school, going to be expensive but I've got to try my best to be able to do that. I've explained to the school some days I maybe nit be able to get out as I have good and bad days where I just can't move.. I do have my mum but she works full time ,school asked about her helping out but her days of land on weekend so that's not an option. By all means if she gets a week day off she does collect my boy ,we do our best between the 3 of us. But it would be a good time for us having a support worker or something but I'm strong/stubborn and just make the best of my situation. I've missed the whole of my boy starting P2 and now we are at the end of the year . This illness is horrid.i just want my leg to regain feeling so I can throw these crutches away and walk my son to school myself . All I hear is it will happen just gonna take time..time time time.. that's nearly me 7 months with this condition ,I so miss being the fit active mum 😢
