Journey with Special Needs Children

Happy Mother’s Day to all!!!! Another day of work for me serving great food to all the moms around today!!!! So today I wanted to talk about my unhealthy attachment!! I am exhausted mentally and physically, yet I still prefer to care for my son with out help. Is there something wrong with me? It’s just that in my mind, I am always worried if someone else is caring for him even when it’s my own mother. He has a lot of behaviors and needs, and I feel like that only I am able to cater to them. I am exhausted and irritable, yet I can’t let go! So I guess at this point I have no one to blame for how tired I am except for myself? Sometimes I truly drive myself crazy, and even though my temper may be short on somedays, I still prefer to care for my son and look after for him myself. I find myself micro managing even when I have my mom watch him. Does anyone else feel this way? Is this considered unhealthy? And for all the parents out there that are exhausted, I hope you have help and a good community to support you. If not then I hope you find one soon! Because sometimes this journey is soooo lonely.

Thank you for reading my mindless rambles

sincerely- overly concerned mom
