Parents, What Do You Do When You Feel Like Your World Is Crashing Down?

I wish I could advise you on the financial side of things but I can't put myself in your shoes here, however I'm so sorry you're having a tough time. I can only give you very general advice about getting through a majorly hard time. I had a couple of close bereavements a few months ago within the space of 3 weeks of each other, and honestly I felt the same with the world crashing down, obviously completely different but similar feelings of hopelessness. I really think without my son there is every chance I wouldn't be here myself now. He is my little ray of sunshine and no matter hard things in life get, I can look at his face and momentarily forget everything else and realise that no matter what happens, I have him, and life can get as hard as it likes and throw all the sh!t at me it wants to but I've always got something positive about my life and my future. I just suggest you seek the same solace in your child or children. Look into their eyes and shut out the outside world, even if just for a moment. It won't make your problems go away but it'll put it all into perspective. This is just an incredibly hard time but you'll get through it.
