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..

  • Sorry to hear you're having a difficult time. I have an autistic son, who is now 14, and was diagnosed at 5 years old. Back then my husband, in fact my whole family, were in denial and I felt very alone. But he came to accept the situation in time.

    You can't stop other people from having attitude problems, but you don't have to accept them. (I know it's easier said than done.) Your love for your daughter will count for more.

    You have a lot to carry at the moment, and you need to make sure that you find time for yourself to relax and recharge as well. You aren't alone, we are here for one another and there are people here who can help and advise better than I can.

    Best wishes.
