I'm not looking for sympathy. I just need to talk about this with someone anyone. And be honest about how I'm feeling

@RemovedUsername634280 unfortunately, we have to take the good and bad. Just keep reminding yourself, everyday you’re teaching/everyday she’s learning. How you react will be moulding her. How you deal with her moods may result in future things. Autism aside, she’s 11.. hormones will be raging, also attention regardless of type is still attention. Stay strong and resilient, you’ve got this!!

@LuciaRose I really don't anymore I'm just too tired.
RemovedUsername634280 · 41-45, F
@LuciaRose I think I'm done
LuciaRose · 31-35, F
@RemovedUsername634280 I appreciate that BUT .. who else has she got? She needs your guidance, your unconditional love. You’re not alone though I know just how lonely it feels. What support do you have?
RemovedUsername634280 · 41-45, F
@LuciaRose there is no support just meetings and people telling me to be strong. If I had had support with my son maybe I would be stinger but I didn't and I'm not

@RemovedUsername634280 how? ... put her into care?.. you weren’t given her to give up! You have her for a reason. She’s 11 not 20.. stand up and fight. Fight for her rights for help. Fight for your rights for support... or just give up and lord knows where either of you will end up.

@LuciaRose there is no fight left. Between her and my son I've had enough

@RemovedUsername634280 you say this now... how would you feel if social was to take them? Sure, I think the first few days/weeks, possibly month or so .. you’ll feel fine but then reality will hit. You don’t need to quit, you need a break. How can you support others if you’re struggling yourself?
Go to your doctor, be honest and open. There is help out there, you just need to know how to access it.

@LuciaRose I've been telling them for over 2 years I need a break otherwise I am.going to give up and they said I'm. Not entitled to respite. If I had had a break.then maybe I would have not been pushed to breaking point. But I didn't it was just work.and this and now I'm exhausted with still no help.in sight
LuciaRose · 31-35, F
@RemovedUsername634280 have you got any friends/ family..
RemovedUsername634280 · 41-45, F
@LuciaRose not that would help. I'm still torn. A part of me doesn't want to give up and wants to get a caravan and just move away lots of space where they can both run and scream. And then there is the tired part
