ever feel like just running away..

NAS49545

do you ever just look at your child and think why you?! I can’t stop crying whenever I look at her & it’s killing me I just feel so sorry for her I’m anxious about how she will be when she’s growing up and how other kids will be with her as they can be so cruel. Im not in denial by any means as I always had that mothers instinct that there was something but now more and more people are noticing (which is fine) but it’s when they say ‘awww that’s a shame’ it sets me off. Doesn’t help that her father is ignoring everything that’s been told he just thinks she’s slower.. so I need to watch what I say and respect his feelings, along with coming to terms with it all myself - debating whether I should move her to a ESN Nursery or keep her where she is becaue she is settled ... I feel like I’m just not far off exploding!! I’m so sorry for the long rant..

Parents

  • Being a mum is hard work even when things go to plan and they rarely do with any child!  It is ok to feel frustrated worried or any of the other myriad of emotions that you will go through 

    I understand that feeling when other parents make comments but you need to let them go as hard as it is the only thing that matters is your daughter. In my case it's the judgment I get for treating my girls differently I used to try and explain that one does not process the same as the other so it was pointless treating them the same now I just ignore them.

    Your daughter obviously has a mum that loves her very much and I know it's exhausting trying to keep what you say around your partner limited mine was the same it was pure denial (he has severely autistic family)  and he didn't want to think of our daughter that way but he came around and is now very supportive and if he can so can yours,

    You are not alone I think most parents wonder at some point but honestly when I look at my daughter I just think myself so lucky to have her that none of the other stuff matters

    Sorry for the rambling, hang in there
