Therapy...
It has completely taken over my life. I love my son and have accepted his ways. I love him just the way he is. But with an Autism diagnosis comes lots of therapy and an invasion of space. I feel like it's affecting my other children in a negative way. My oldest son acts out because he feels neglected and my daughter is starting to show the same signs...I feel horrible as a parent because I have no real support. It's just my husband and I. Don't get me wrong...we signed up for this...we wanted a big family. But, Autism...I didn't think that would happen to us! Never! Us???!!?? Things like that happen to other people...not me. Well it did. All at once our lives changed. Our children's lives changed and how unfair to them... To have parents who plan life around one child. How unfair to them to have parents so exhausted and frustrated to pay attention to them. How unfair! I feel like a horrible parent so tired to think.....today was a bad day with lots of yelling and time outs. It's not fair but it's our life and I am promising to GOD I am making some BIG changes today!
