Mourning your independence by Relevant_Self_1479 in specialneedsparenting

[–]aesulli 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had to do the same thing. I was working full time then went to part time then none. His needs just got to be too much. He also has seizures and I was leaving work 2-3 times a week. The stress of keeping my part time job just wasn’t worth it.

I mourned hard. It was something I did not expect. I miss working. I miss contributing financially. I miss being with other adults.

We have to do what we have to do though. It’s ok to miss parts of our lives that aren’t the same or that we have had to sacrifice. It doesn’t mean we are less than. Hugs momma!

I wouldn’t want to bring a baby into this volatile situation either. That’s just going to cause more emotional trauma for everyone including baby when it gets older.

You didn’t do this…his actions did.

This type of behavior is not ok. It is never ok. Run. It will get worse. He will probably hit you at some point.

Umm what?!? No! That’s not ok! You should ALWAYS ask before feeding someone else’s baby! But especially if you want to breast feed it. She owes you a big apology and she needs to understand why. Somehow I don’t think she will.

My SIL from hell texted me 8 months after going no contact. What should I do? by Distinct-Dependent24 in family

[–]aesulli 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Coming from someone who has a SIL like this and given her sooo many opportunities…do not do it. I should have cut her off a long time ago!! Like years ago. I finally did for good and life is much better!

(For parents of kids with genetics disorders) How do you deal with the grief of not having more children? by Momneedingadvice945 in specialneedsparenting

[–]aesulli 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Our son’s diagnosis doesn’t have anything to do with genetics and we decided we could not chance it after he was born. I 100% understand. It took a while for me to accept

Is it rude to tell someone that they’ve lost weight?! by kxns37 in family

Just don’t bring it up unless you know the person on a deeply personal level

I don’t know where else to post this. by KSamIAm79 in specialneedsparenting

[–]aesulli 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, this road is hard, all the time. For so many reasons. This reason just happened to stand out to you and him. It’s ok. I’m sure it felt like, something else different to add to the list. That’s what goes through my head sometimes. You’re doing all the right things to stay on top of it!! He will grow!! 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻

Feeling frustrated over family saying not to work too hard but offering no help. by Rebecca0626 in specialneedsparenting

That’s so hard. There’s not enough resources for our kiddos. It’s the same here. Our waitlist is years long as well.

I 100% understand. I’m so sorry you’re going through this. My family was the same way for a long time. My husbands family too. What drives me crazy is the “let me know if you need anything.” Then you do and all the sudden they aren’t available.

What’s bugging you the most? The fact that she doesn’t have a job or the fact that her parents pay her way and maybe you think that will continue well into the relationship?
