I Lack a Sense of Family With My Family

I can honestly say I don't think I love my kids anymore. Not my 8 year old just my eldest two. I don't hate them I just don't love them. I've been struggling with them for so long I think it's gone. It's been replaced by resentment.

@Tonydang thank you so much for saying that I thought it wasn't possible. But I think it really is now. 🤗

Some people wouldn’t understand and that’s okay but until they experience it they shouldn’t judge @RemovedUsername634280

@Tonydang 🤗 people do judge. But they have no idea what it is to live that persons life. I'm raising 3 kids 2 have autism 1 smashes up the flat and 1 threatens to burn it down. I should be at work but I can't just incase 1 stabs the other or something else. I'm completely alone and everyone around me says there is support, but I'm not receiving it.

@RemovedUsername634280 That's probably why you're emotionally exhausted it's hard to take care of kids with disabilities like autism.

I really feel for you my youngest one has autism but she is an angel my oldest has a drug habit and yet there frustrating to say the least every chance stealing anything that he can get money for trying to hold a job down is hard @RemovedUsername634280

@Tonydang it's really hard. I love earning I get the same pride a man would supporting his family but trying to keep this job us near impossible. They will fire me and then I will also feel like I've failed too
