i don't know i am confused and scared. Someone make the feelings go away. I am filled up with worries and panics and i can't do anything about it and i don't want to ask shula or elsie cos they are scary when they are fighting and caroline has gone away. i don't know what to do any more. I can't sort out all these things there are too many of them. the foot is swollen and he says caroline should go to the dr tomorrow but she has to take the girls to their friends and she has to pick up the guineapigs and then there is home stuff and work stuff and all the marking she has to do and what if she doesn't come back and i am left to do it all because i can't and we see ruth on wednesday but we don't know if she understands about us all or if we should all be there or if she wants us all to be there and there aren't many sessions left now. i want to go away but there isn't anyone else who will help me now. what can i do?

first you can take a couple deep breaths and relax a bit. take one problem at a time...a lot of your stress is caused by feeling overwhelmed. don't worry about what has to be done tomorrow, focus on getting through today, ok? i am always here if you want to talk. we'll sort this out ok? perhaps if caroline isn't feeling well tomorrow than H can help take the load of some of the chores. she has to work on her health first, so the dr. is first and then you follow his directions about what you all are allowed to do. as for Ruth, well i think you should talk to her about it. all of you. i have a feeling that she will be more than willing to help you out. for now though, just breathe.

Hi Alice,

I dont think Ive met you. My name is Iris, and I know how you feel being left on your own when others are fighting or when others just dont want to be around. Its now easy is it? But Shaddow is right. You have to take one day at a time and soon the others will come back or just even have a break from fighting.

You can PM me if you like.

Can I ask how old you are?

You dont have to say if you dont want.
((((((((((((((((alice)))))))))))))))))))))
Hope its OK to give you a cuddle.

All the girls

hello iris
thank you for the cuddles. I like cuddles. I like them because they make me feel safe.
What do you do when everyone is fighting? Or when they won't come back and you need them? They left me all on my own the other night and wouldn't come back and I was scared.
I'm the same age as elsie and we are sort of opposite twins. She looks after things and I need looking after.
((((hugs)))) back for you.
I might pm you later - thank you that would be nice.

Hi Alice,

When the others are fighting, or if they have all gone away, its my job to get the jobs done. Im only a baby and it can be very scary for me cos I like to just be playing with my dolly Bella. But when things get bad for everyone I come forward and take over. Its very hard Alice and being on your own is no fun. I can get help from the other girls by telling them how hard it is for me on my own. I normally try to speak to Allison about how hard it all is when they go away and Allison talks to them and asks them to come back.

We dont fight so much now as we used to. We used to fight about everything and all we did was scream and shout and cry. But we getting abit better and managing to talk to each other and getting to know each other. Now we try not to do the thing that we know might upset someone. We try to get on but dont always manage.

When Im looking after things and doing all the jobs I try to make sure I look after myself too. I make sure that I get to spend time with Bella and I make sure I get cuddles from my mummy (thats the lady Audrey sees in therapy) when we see her.

Have you got a dolly or something that could help you.

You seem like a nice girl.

(((((((((((((((((((((alice)))))))))))))))))))))
You ahve a pretty name

Iris

thank you iris that helped a lot.
I like the fact that you have learnt to talk to each other. At the moment shula and elsie spend most time not talking.
I like the idea of doing special things that I like doing too.
I don't have a dolly but I do have books that I like to look at (so does elsie) and I am thinking of getting my special teddy back from eleanor and hannah cos they don't play with him.
