I know this place is dead but

I need someone to whine to that will get it.

I am tired.

I don't do it often, but today I wished for different kids that would be so much easier.

I know may have it worse here, but today is just a down day that required too much avocation for this introvert.

[waverly]

I know the feeling. We are in a good place now but there were times I wished for a normal pregnancy and not to have a child with special needs and not to have to go through certain things like fetal and heart surgery.

Commiseration hugs...

I get it. Things had been better for us since the start of 2019 as far as DS goes. Then in the last few weeks some of his more challenging behaviors have creeped back up. It's much easier to manage now that we know what we're dealing with and have been working on it. But still. There are days I wish things were just easy sometimes. Even on the good days...it's never easy. As an introvert myself I find myself withdrawing and wishing I could hide in a cave somewhere.

I have been there too.

Caregiver burnout is real.

[sahara78]

It’s stressful. I’d probably be perfectly satisfied with our local school if DD had no special needs. Instead, it just feels like a constant battle for support & I believe the school district employees are a bunch of liars. We’ve debated moving to another district (we were denied a transfer request), but worry it’s just be the same situation.

You are not alone.

[freezorburn]

I see you 🤝

[suzubell]

You aren’t alone. This is a tough gig sometimes.

[arch01]

You are definitely not alone. Take care of yourself-the exhaustion is overwhelming to me at times.

[bookchick]

((hugs)) I see you, and I understand.

[ohgillian]

Yep. It's exhausting and you're 100% normal for sometimes wishing that. It's been a few weeks since your OP; how are things this week for you?

[macchiatto]

I hear you. How has this summer gone for you?
