Nightmares
17 Answers
I've always been prone to them, but am having a lot lately. they are so detailed its quite incredible, I can recall every word, scenario etc. They are always very frightening but not in a monster/ghosty way. Always something happening to me or my children/family and I cant stop it. last nights was about flooding and my children were in the house opposite and I couldnt get to them but I could see the water getting higher and higer till it covered the house and they were screaming. Often wake up very upset. Any way of finding out what causes them, or things to avoid - they are quite exhausting!

I would imagine the situation with your OH and his child are on your mind alot, as is the distance between you and your other children/grandchildren. Even if you don't think it's something that you think about much or is bothering, it almost always it. The flooding comes for obvious reasons.
Unless you can stop thinking altogther, then I'm not sure how you can stop them. (if you find a way, let me know)

I think as a mother you do so much for your children that you believe you have to 'do' something but sometimes we just need to know that you are there.
One of my favourite memories of my student nursing was of a girl aged 13 coming in with appendicitis. They could not get hold of the parents (who I found out later I knew). I sat with her after my shift had finished and listened to her. She was your typical teenager but her biggest concern was how she had been treating her parents and that she had not told them that she loved them. All I did was listen and tell her that what she had done recently was normal and that her parents knew she loved them.
I basically did nothing no obs, no basic nursing nothing but listen.
Well as I say later I found out that I knew her parents and listening to the family talk about this incident you would of thought I was the best nurse in the world.
