hi shell - i've got nothing but admiration for you. i'm sure it must be difficult.  if you have any issues though feel free to post them and perhaps some of us can try and put our heads together and help you come up with a solution??  nicola xx*** src="../../smiley/msn/regular_smile.gif" alt="" />

i am a 24 year old female who is bringing up my 11 year old brother-i am constantly finding this difficult for all sorts of reasons and have searched the net many times trying to seek advice or other people in the same situation-unsuccesfully. i have now decided to tackle this issue myself and have now created a chat forum for anyone in a similar situation. please feel free to visit the forum
