I have an IEP meeting in 30 minutes. Gonna go cry in the shower while I still have some time.
I can't afford my therapist right now so thanks for letting me word vomit here. 🥲
Feeling my feels today.
I think the hardest part about parenting a child with autism is the stress & exhaustion. Therapy schedules, attending and preparing for IEP meetings, staying informed, helping regulate them constantly, etc. The list goes on and on.
Anyway, community is important. We've really lost the recipes because the village do not be villaging anymore.
I hate the my village is thousands of miles away when I need them the most.
Couple that with trying to work a job AND tend to all the daily changes and appointments, the balancing act of having another child and trying to make sure you give them just as much attention/time... and simply taking care of yourself.
I'm burnt OUT. I just wanna run away.
