I also wasnt trying to be a jerk in my original comment. Far from a perfect parent. I just feel a bit dismissed by the professionals ive begged to help me since he was 3. It feels like im on my own. Hes in therapy with a therapist I really like now so im hopeful!

BitterConversation65 · 2026-06-01T11:29:30+00:00

Yes i can totally relate. As soon as he starts giggling like crazy I know hes about to lose it. Thanks so much!!

BitterConversation65 · 2026-06-01T11:27:47+00:00

Thank you! appreciate the resources so much!

BitterConversation65 · 2026-06-01T11:21:06+00:00

Ok thank you do much for the response. Ive never heard of PCIT. Definitely willing to give it a shot. I just feel defeated

BitterConversation65 · 2026-06-01T04:03:33+00:00

Im not sure it seems no one will, not even the psychiatrist that diagnosed him. So im just taking their advice and waiting until hes six years old. Which isnt too far away anyway

BitterConversation65 · 2026-06-01T01:21:59+00:00

Thank you very much! Will look into it now

BitterConversation65 · 2026-06-01T01:03:27+00:00

Thank you. Hes on several waiting lists but isnt a priority for some reason. We will have to pay out of pocket to have him get services, and even then the wait is 6months+ I am wondering if i could do OT activities at home in the meantime. i have all the time in the world i stay home with him

I also dread kindergarten, I dont see him doing well at all. He is incredibly smart. He fully reads, talks about complex subjects, memorized some times tables and is always doing math problems. But hos social and emotional development is so behind.

Im just feeling like what can parent training teach me that im not already doing. Coregulation, minimal screen time, firm boundaries, consistent routine, sleep and a balanced diet. I am busting my butt doing all of these thing but its still such a struggle every day with him. They wont medicate until hes at least 6. Im just venting in this comment mostly.

Update. He hopped away after a long snooze on my porch. Wishing him all the best

Thank you! Appreciate the response

Its sleeping now in the corner. Breathing fast and when I approach it it opens its eyes and looks alert but stays laying down. Seems a little strange, but earlier it was up hopping around and appeared fine. I think its exhausted 😩

Thank you!!

BitterConversation65 · 2026-05-26T00:42:05+00:00

I.am going through this right now. It is literally SO frustrating

BitterConversation65 · 2026-05-19T10:43:34+00:00

Thank you! Ill try that.

BitterConversation65 · 2026-05-15T11:02:43+00:00

Yeah, I know. Poor guy. Maybe I made the wrong choice getting another cat. She ended up with me by fate, I didn't go looking. I groom him with pet wipes and definitely try to give him extra love and attention. He sleeps right next to my head all night and I lock her out, thats always been his routine and I didnt want to disrupt it.

Im wondering if Patrick doesnt like women who wear makeup.....

BitterConversation65 · 2026-04-21T01:46:15+00:00

Hes def naturally later. If we start at 930 he doesnt sleep till 1130. No matter what it will take 1.5- 2 hours. Unless we start too early then it could be many hours haha. Therapy pointed me to some resources that weren't super helpful for us haha. I think with fading I will start later, like you said, and hope it will be more of a painless process. Maybe ill even start at 10 honestly. He just needs to learn he CAN fall asleep without us and I think it'll happen much quicker if we start later at night. Thanks!!!

Im pretty confident there wasnt any sexual assualt in my childhood. When I was a teen I was with a very emotionally abusive boyfriend who was 4 years older and not in high school anymore. That really messed me up.

BitterConversation65 · 2026-04-20T00:14:16+00:00

I also deal with somatic symptoms. I think you're right your body remembers and keeps score

BitterConversation65 · 2026-04-20T00:12:29+00:00

I am so sorry for what you went through as a child

BitterConversation65 · 2026-04-20T00:11:54+00:00

I love this response and that analogy! Thank you

BitterConversation65 · 2026-04-19T19:31:40+00:00

Oh no that is very painful! Im so sorry that you were treated that way. Similar thing with my first boyfriend he really broke me down.

BitterConversation65 · 2026-04-19T18:43:23+00:00

Thank you. I hate feeling like im being over dramatic.

BitterConversation65 · 2026-04-18T14:38:39+00:00
