[QUOTE="Fairygodmother, post: 2508671, member: 68789"] Hi [USER=533935]@LamaLiam[/USER], it sounds as though you’re living in a maelstrom with six people who depend on you. Can you sit down with your wife, maybe when the children and the mother in-law are in bed, and have a discussion about how you can make life easier for all of you? I know you’ll both be tired by then. Maybe there’s someone who could baby and mother in-lawl sit while you both find a peaceful place. There may be an opportunity for a bit of respite care for your mother in-law, If your mother in-law is in any way ‘challenged’ and you’re in the U.K. then Mind, and, if she’s old enough, Age U.K. and Age Concern are a good place to start looking. The GP service may also have some suggestions. I notice that you do find time to go to the gym twice a week: is it the demands of a healthy life that are also causing stress? Hunger, stress, blood sugars, BMI, family, do you need a more peaceful bit of time out? The difficulty of controlling nighttime sugars also gives you insufficient sleep and you NEED sleep. T1’s another toddler. It seems clear that everything’s got on top of you. [/QUOTE]
