Well here i am again at 4.30 in the morning and i can't sleep yet again!! My husband Darryl has terminal small cell cancer and, at the moment is going through a really good phase. Which, i would have thought, would set my mind at rest and enable me to sleep. But no, here i am again having had 2 hrs sleep tonight wide awake with mad thoughts running around my head!! This is driving me crazy and i just seem to be on auto pilot all the time. Darryl is 44 years old and we have been given a prognosis of a 2-3 year life span for him. I can't seem to let go of this thought, and maybe part of me can't sleep because of that, as i feel if i'm asleep i'm wasteing precious time!! Darryl is sound asleep and resting well, and if i stay upstairs next to him listening to his breathing, i keep thinking is this the last time i'll ever hear that and end up getting so uptight and worried that i find it better to just get up again. So i wander round the house do a few chores, have a hot caffiene free drink and will myself to sleep all to no avail i might add!! hahaha surely i'm not the only carer who never sleeps, or am i????? any comments gratefully recieved. Take care my friends and hope your all sleeping well. love and hugs mel xxx

    hey my chickie Shell
    I had depression in 1999 and that was blamed on my kids behaviour at school too hun.
    Makes you feel a shit parent and all your faults dosen't it?
    But sugar it's not your fault you was ill and never was!
    my kids as adults now say it wasn't my fault they was just little shits looking for attention!
    That was their words by the way not mine! lol
    I think it's so out of order that us parents get blamed so much for our kids behaviour especially when it's not even our fault!
    We didn't ask to get ill and you didn't ask to get cancer sweet so please don't blame yourself you are NOT to blame!
    If you wanna chat privately any time just p/m me ok sweet and i will help you any way i can.
    Please try not to feel too bad babe your son will grow up and turn into a real sweetie my kids have and i'm sure your son will too.
    Kids have to atke responsibilty for their own actions at some point and when he does he will settle down i know he will infact i promise he will.
    So you stay strong and keep that beautiful smile on your face cos i love you as you are!
    Hope this has helped a little and don't give up hope sweet i'm here for you anytime ok?
    love and hugs MHM xxxxxxxxxx
