Thanks everyone for your comments and kind words I really do appreciate it. Life has become very topsy-turvy recently particularly since I've left home.
I also want to thank everyone for their ideas, I really was struggling to think how any good could come from being away from home and what to do next but I have a better understanding of how to approach the problem now and for that im very grateful.
I've had a long discussion with my parents tonight I hadn't told them how much I was struggling...
I feel so lucky to have such an amazing best friend. Just got home from a surpirse week away in Birmingham, Cardiff and London. I've never laughed so much in one week, it reaaaally did take my mind off EVERYTHING. It was time away, we were able to laugh together and cry, so needed that. The night before we were due to go my mum took a turn for the worst, but it was planned so i returned home every other day to see her. SO thoughtful and even visited my grandparents whilst in birmingham.
Now...
I remember the joys of last years fresher's week very well, everything was so exciting, meeting all these new people, going out and having a good time and generally having too much to drink as a result. This time round I don't think I have ever felt so miserable.
Leaving my mum with terminal cancer last Saturday was excruciatingly difficult. She was diagnosed in February whilst I was at university she decided to tell me on 16th August (a day I don't think ill ever forget). I hate being away...
My Dad has gradually gone downhill over the last month. Firstly he started getting really really tired and achey...and stopped his daily walk down to the shop to get his newspaper. Two weeks ago tomorrow we went to the hospital for his monthly blood test and nurse consultation. I knew something was wrong. He struggled to walk from the car to the hospital even though we had parked right outside. When we were in the hospital waiting area I remember looking at him thinking he LOOKED ill...for the first...
