Forms, Feelings & F*cking Meetings: The Ultimate Parent Carer Survival Guide

Forms, Feelings & F*cking Meetings
The Ultimate Parent Carer Survival Guide
By Kate Elizabeth Perkins

This is the book you wish someone had handed you the moment your world changed.

Written from lived experience, Forms, Feelings & F*cking Meetings is a 244-page, 18-chapter, honest, compassionate and practical guide for parents navigating life after a diagnosis, disability or additional needs enter their family.

It walks with you from the very beginning - the shock, the grief, the questions, the fear - and continues through the real, messy, complicated reality of becoming a parent carer.

Inside, you’ll find support and guidance on:

• The emotional impact of diagnosis
• Trauma and nervous system overwhelm
• Navigating education, EHCPs and school support
• Medical appointments and advocacy
• Financial support and benefits
• Mental health and emotional well-being
• Relationships, identity and isolation
• Planning for the future
• Travelling with a child with additional needs or a disability
• Living with constant forms, meetings and invisible emotional labour

This is not a clinical manual.
It is real, warm, validating and deeply human.

It doesn’t sugar-coat the hard parts - but it reminds you, again and again, that you are not broken, you are not failing, and you are not alone.

Every copy also includes:

One Hand-Painted Mental Health Wax Melt

• Made from 100% vegan soy wax
• Hand-poured and hand-painted
• Designed to support calm and emotional comfort
• Each one is unique in design and scent

A small sensory moment of softness to accompany the pages, reflection and processing.

Beautiful, Recyclable Packaging

Your book and wax melt arrive carefully presented in eco-conscious, recyclable packaging, designed to feel thoughtful, gentle and gift-worthy from the moment it is opened.

“You are doing an extraordinary job.”
“Your feelings make sense.”
“And you don’t have to figure this out alone.”
