My story

A bit about me. I'm 44, single mum to 3 beautiful children. My eldest, DA, is almost 16. She suffers with her mental health due to being bullied at secondary school. I pulled her out and was home schooling. We are waiting for her to be assessed for ASD and ADHD. My middle, JD, is 14. He is already diagnosed with ASD and we are on the pathway for him to be assessed for ADHD too. My youngest, DB, is almost 9. She has already been diagnosed with both ASD and ADHD. 
I suffer bad with my mental health too. I have done for many years. Since my youngest has been diagnosed it has made me look at myself a lot more. She has a different dad to my son, which makes me wonder is it coming from me? 
my gp is now trying to get me assessed too. To be honest I don't really think it will make a difference. More for clarification than anything else. 
I also have type 2 diabetes and fibromyalgia. 
I love crafting, it's something that has always helped me with mental health. My craft of choice at the moment has to be crochet. I love finding a pattern and just putting my whole mind into making something beautiful 😍 

I plan to use this blog to talk about the good and the bad side of being a single mum with mental health. Along with sharing my creations with you too. 

who knows, maybe no one will ever see this blog! 
We all see. 

love all
