I'm a good mom. I know I'm a good mom. I work hard so we have a clean home and warm food. I spend hours and hours prepping school activities for my daughter whom we homeschool. But I'm exhausted. She has severe ADHD and sensory issues. We are doing further testing for Austim because she shows so many signs. She's 7. Right now, she's crying hysterically because she hurt her foot. Nothing my husband or I do is making it better. I have a migraine. I need to finish work (the only time I can work is after she is asleep in the evening). I'm just done with my life today, I want a new life. Where my child doesn't have to live a life of being overwhelmed all the time by just existing. I know she hurt herself but 99% she does this over the smallest things, can't ride in the cart, let's scream, can't wear these socks today, let's scream. We use consequences, we do what the therapist and pediatrician tell us. It doesn't always work. Progress is slow. So I'm sitting here trying to work, waiting for my meds to kick in so I don't want to barf from the pain and I will listen to my husband try and calm her down so she will sleep. Being a parent is hard. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2QJOVCm
