My special needs child has taken over my life and now I'm failing him and also everyone else. He came home from school today with an emergency and while I went to take care of him my DD starts yelling at me that just because he has bigger problems I never help her.
My son tells me all day how he doesn't love me and yet I still need to keep doing and doing and now this is what I get.
I locked myself in my room and crying and everyone can put themselves to bed tonight while I throw myself a pity party. Thanks for coming.

So sorry. I can join the party as a full fledged member. We get thrown things that are just not doable. And even if they are, we have to get them right. And so many people seem to. But sometimes we just don't. Really high stakes, and there we are.
My version of emunah sometimes is : "You handed me this. You made me not perfect. You set up what resources I do and don't have. You are part of the parenting deal. I did what I could. Now You go." And then go to bed. But I still fall apart. Until I go numb, which is worse.

I'm in this club. You are my people.
Group hug, everyone!
Both my twins have special needs and the "higher functioning" of the two gets jealous of all the attention her brother gets because he's more needy at this time (even though she just had her third surgery-- a major one---- and acts out. Acting out for attention at age 2-4 is kind of cute. She turns 17 tomorrow. My life is run by how aggressive he can be at any given moment and how she reacts to our therapy appointments and meetings with the board of dd about his aggression.
Those of you with kiddos with intense special needs are welcome to private message me--- if you're on facebook we can be friends there and commisserate if you'd like. I spend more time there than here. Happy to tell you my real life name--- I don't hide much here---- if I do need to hide something I go anon.
