Current thinking [after it being dismissed a while ago] is that number one child is on the ASD spectrum - probably aspergers as she is so high achieving etc. Have to say i still have my doubts.... her friend at school had aspergers and it wouldn't be...

Cos H is finishing work at lunchtime til 5th january. So i wanted to take the opportunity to say a huge thank you to Hitched.co.uk - the forums have really saved my sanity in the worst year of my life. Starting with my unexpected pregnancy and coming...

First off - big thank you for the support i got over the summer - think without hitched i would have not been able to cope - it has been a fab venting place for me <group hug> well - number one child has been back in the psych unit since her...

? this will be the third one i have broken in 6 years ? and i really will struggle without it. Will get H to have a look at it when he gets in from work then will decide whether to get someone in to have a look at it or to cut our losses. gah - i...

I really need a couple of new bra's - am reduced to wearing sleeping bras at the moment [sort of like cropped sports tops iyswim] and i would like to get some that fasten at the back and make me feel like a grown up ? I know there is some way of...

Hurrah i can hear you all shout ? Elizabeth has been moved back to the unit where she was earlier in the summer - she will be there for about 8 weeks or so at least. She has adjusted to being there very well so far - she has been co-operative and not...

Elizabeth is still in hospital - she isn't on any medication - they are just keeping an eye on her til she can be moved. Mind you she managed to escape the ward twice yesterday - gah - which isn't good really..... H ended up going up last night to...

First of all - many thanks for your support yesterday - it means a lot and i really appreciate it. ICOS have been on the phone - they have seen elizabeth in hospital and agree that she isn't safe to be out in the community as she is so unpredictable....

cos she has taken another overdose. 52 paracetomol this time. She stole the tablets and took them - then went and told the college councellor who called an ambulance. She refused to go to hospital so the police were called. They spoke to her - she...

As you have all been so supportive and fab over this summer i wanted to let you know what has gone on recently. well - Elizabeth absconded from the unit on the 19th August - took an overdose then went back to the unit and they took her to...

Sorry - this is a bit of a ramble ok then - well as you all know number one child is still in a psych unit - we have been having home leave etc and I thought things were going well and working towards her coming home sooner rather than later. well -...

We moved into our house nearly 2 years ago now. The bloke who owned it previously had been renting it out after he moved to london village. His mum lives a few doors away from us [still with me?] at the weekend we got his car tax letter thru. Again....

another installment in the saga that is my life at the moment! things are slowly but steadily getting better i think. last weekend she came home for the day on the sunday which went well - we had her review on friday with the medics etc and it seems...

Last night she threw a cup of juice over a member of staff [they told H when he visited] this morning she was allowed the units hair straighteners and instead of straightening her hair she has burnt them out in an attempt to set the fire alarms off...

sorry - just feel the need to shout loudly right now ? last week elizabeth absconded from the school on site at unit where she is - first time just inside the grounds and second time headed off up the high street with one of the other girls - she...

Well then - Elizabeth has been in the psych unit now for 2 very long weeks. At first she was on 24 hour watch so they could assess her - then that changed to her being looked at every 15 minutes - then every hour. She is being her usual pleasant...
