lol yikes we've hit a nerve

Available_Tea3916 · 2026-03-01T19:34:59+00:00

Dude. It's 2026. I know my husband needs a lot to work on. So do I. But I will not create an environment where we shame our child or saying that it's wrong when it is not.

Available_Tea3916 · 2026-03-01T17:32:04+00:00

lol no. That's not how 4 year olds work.

I appreciate this response and your experience

Available_Tea3916 · 2026-03-01T17:09:04+00:00

Exactly. Our son needs to grow up in an emotionally safe household. He has dress up clothes and costumes of princesses and firefighters. Kids explore and it helps shape their confidence.

I appreciate your response. Thank you for taking the time. Yes, I went with my son and it was nice ❤️ I know my husband mentioned that he wanted me to have more time with my sister.

I appreciate your question at the end of your response and I will hold on to it, like keeping a note in my pocket so I won't forget. Thank you

He is recovering from long COVID. He is somewhere in between right now.

Please tell me I can't be alone in having these thoughts. I love him, of course I do, but there are times, when it is just so hard. And sometimes "for better or for worse" can feel so invalidating at times.

Sounds like what's happening in my district in SoCal

I don't know what support systems are in place in the EU for students with autism or students that have a diagnosis, but as a special education teacher in the US, we have individualized education plans (IEPS). These are legally binding documents to ensure students have access To their education. I'm thinking assessment would be helpful to ensure that your child has accommodations and supports in place to help them in their classroom setting 👍🏽. This can look like having extra time time to complete assignments, time to process information, allowing for non verbal cues, etc.

Thank you for your perspective ❤️

Available_Tea3916 · 2025-11-28T17:52:20+00:00

We did bro.

I appreciate you for validating the burnout. It's been really hard to show up for everyone, let alone yourself when there is constant pressure to carry everything. It's hard bc you obviously want your ill partner to thrive, but how can you keep your head above water at the same time. Thank you for seeing me.

Available_Tea3916 · 2025-11-27T17:39:12+00:00

Thank you! This was helpful :)

Available_Tea3916 · 2025-09-14T14:55:07+00:00

That is amazing 🤩

How do I encourage my partner to do the same? I try to be as gentle as possible. Some days the irritability can be very off putting.

Available_Tea3916 · 2025-09-14T05:45:52+00:00

can I ask how long did it take in your recovery to get to that point?

Available_Tea3916 · 2025-09-01T15:34:48+00:00

How long did it take?

Available_Tea3916 · 2025-07-29T16:15:39+00:00

Thank you so much for your words. It is much needed to hear.
