Re: please help!
Dear Supermum, You really are juggling a heck of a lot of balls at the moment and it is entirely understandable that you are feeling the strain - especially having a one year old to care for as well. You sound a very caring person - and I really feel for you Supermum. Hugs !
If difficulties are occurring in your relationship with your husband though, maybe it is time you sought some advice from a Counsellor to help you navigate this tricky family situation before you get to "burn-out" yourself.
There could be help available that you are not aware of and a GP or Counsellor may be able to steer you in the direction of some help that will take some of the load off your shoulders.
All best wishes

Re: please help!
Hi Supermum,
My name is Hobbit. I read your post and it amazes me just how busy you are, and how you have managed to keep everything together!! This actually shows me three things - 1) you must be a very special and caring type of person, 2) you must have amazing strength and 3) you are switched on enough to ask for help by coming to forums such as this.
So good on you!!
I thought what you really might need is someone to help take the load off you. There is such a thing as a carer support worker that might be able to help you out. This i see could be a really practical way of lessening the burden for you. I know a carer's job is a full on role, and you really do have a lot on your plate, caring for 2 people plus your own family....and let's not forget trying to care for yourself!!
Perhaps you could try contacting these two organisations. Carers QLD and ARAFMI QLD. They are both really good organisations that support carers and I am sure they could help you out.
Carer QLD website is here and ARAFMI QLD can be found here
I hope this might help you, and please be in touch to let everyone know how you are going.
Hobbit.
