At My Wits End! Sorry But This Post Contains Bad L



*BIG SIGH!!* I don't think I can take much more of this. Why are things just so bloody difficult? No matter how I try to make things better, I just end up getting even more stressed and wound up.

I have just come back from what should have been a stress free induction to the health club I recently joined. The kids ran riot in there own different ways, I feel like crying, I feel like screaming, I feel like battering the kids! Nobody really sees the difficulties I have trying to raise these two children, and I get absolutely no help from anywhere! *Another big sigh*!

Oh God, I've been here before! I don't know if I can cope with two children with ASD. How the hell do I manage two together!

I'm feeling very sorry for myself.

Honey girl, every mother in the world has moments, sometimes days, of feeling like you do. I wish I could offer you respite care, which is what you need. You need a break from your kids!

Two suggestions, possible three I like the first one best.:

Tell the kids that mommy needs a time out, and not to come bother you, because it would result in something very bad, Then go to your bedroom and lock the door. Take a nap, read a book, or just breathe in and out dloely, carefully, mindfully.

Call a church and ask if someone could volunteer to be a once a week grandmother, or Call social services for your county or village and ask about respite care for moms. Be careful whom you tell you are thinking about child abuse. The different government agencies snatch kids out of homes for that sentence.

Take care of yourself or you won't be able to care for anybody else.
Praying for you, Stephy

Aw, Tracy! Raising kids is not easy. We all have had them totally embarrass us when we were trying to take care of another matter.But hang in there! I think the health club will be a great way for them to burn off some of that energy,

I am sorry you are feeling this way tracy and I wish I could say something to help you. I can tell you that kota just drains my energy when he gets in his moods and I feel like screaming at times too. a break is all I ask for. I hope that things get better for you.
