In your shoes

I remember I was so happy
Posted on Mon, 07 Dec 2015
I remember I was so happy when I got someone to come look at the damp in our flat, the desolation when he said there was nothing they could do. You have written this brilliantly, the flares of hope, sinking into despair. It is compulsive reading...

It's difficult to understand
Posted on Mon, 07 Dec 2015
It's difficult to understand how you managed, all on your own and not eating right, either. Life must have seemed like a doddle after all this :0) Thank goodness the flea powder didn't give you a migraine, I seem to be allergic to it, huge relief...

Agree with all these comments
Posted on Fri, 04 Dec 2015
Agree with all these comments, you have written a rollercoaster :0) Am re-reading this to comment, after addictively dashing through in one go, and they are just as good a second time! I do wish this could have been published, but understand how...

I guess your son's operation
Posted on Wed, 02 Dec 2015
I guess your son's operation was a crescendo of all the stress you had gone through, to get him to this point, but also dreading it, having to let him go, trust the doctors. And then when you were so vulnerable, why was his father there?

I guess meeting other Mums
Posted on Mon, 30 Nov 2015
I guess meeting other Mums who had even more to worry about in their sons' health must have been a comfort, even though you were dealing with all this without a partner. The poor lady whose child had no nose! How many operations he must have gone...

Posted on Fri, 27 Nov 2015
I really hope you do not still feel bad about having to lie! You had no choice!!! Even if you were willing to sacrifice the only roof you had, you could not have done that to your baby? Suppose the man had hurt you, what would have happened to...

So much has changed, hasn't
Posted on Wed, 25 Nov 2015
So much has changed, hasn't it? I am not sure it would be possible now, to find a new GP so quickly. And Ebay has replaced jumblesales, even charity shops are not so good as I remember. I guess not so many people slaughter their supper these days...

That must have been so
Posted on Mon, 23 Nov 2015
That must have been so cruelly hard, having been surrounded by your new friends and everything sorted, then all alone in this frightening place, but wonderful that their kindness even reached in there with a 'new' mattress and sheets. That chair...

Have realised, this is a story about women, isn't it? The land lady, Granny, the ladies who got beaten up and went back to those who hurt them, and You, the others who got out out and made better lives for yourselves and your children, who didn't...

You do a great job instilling
Posted on Wed, 18 Nov 2015
You do a great job instilling a sense of fear and disgust at this new accomodation! I am kind of surprised that no one checked up that you had a safe place to go, it doesn't seem responsible at all, to let you and your baby fall through the...
