Advice/opinions on single-parenting

Hey. So ive only this week been officially diagnosed ME/CFS by my gp, but ive been lurking since this was a "probable diagnosis" mentioned about a month ago.

Ive done what reading and research i can. Im not sure how to categorise as im housebound but not fully bedbound.

Since becoming ill my ex has been helping out with household chores, the children and general heavy duty jobs such as groceries etc. Hes practically moved in and this is causing me unremarkable stress somedays (hence the ex part). He will be moving back to his own place within the coming weeks.

Does anyone have advice or practical tips on being a single parent with this illness? My children are teens, but I dont want them becoming my carers if I can help that. I can move around independently within my own home, outside i use a wheelchair.
