Lonely parent

Hi ️

My son's 7 and recently diagnosed and I have never felt so out of my depth and alone. 

His behaviour since the school holidays started has been so up and down and it really affects family life with my daughter and husband. 

I spend most days crying because I just don't know what I'm doing and I dread every outburst or trigger.

Mommy B Better days will come, I'm sending you a big virtual hug.

It takes a lot of trial and error to understand how to help your child, and every child is different and unique, so there is no "one size fits all". Even your child keeps changing, so something that works now may not work in a few weeks time.

It's important to speak to your husband and find a local support group. When I reach a breaking point, I have my husband and vice versa. It is important to keep up the communication. It is also important to read and educate oneself about what can be done, this way you will feel less helpless, and especially now you have the diagnosis - you also have some recommendations as to what to do. Get the therapy he needs. It will take time, but you will see some improvements. Better days will come!
