I've name changed as a few people know me in RL, but I've been a poster here for a few years.
On the outside I've perfected a very happy positive front to all my friends and family, (to my parents they have seen the odd wobble but nothing much). My DC has lots of therapy input and 1:1 help at school. I also do therapy every day with him. As far as everyone knows I love my life!!
Inside I'm scared and I hurt all the time. I'm scared that he will never have a friend, I'm scared about schools, I'm scared about him being bullied, I'm scared I won't always be there to help and protect him. My heart breaks when I see his peers running around together playing without a care in the world and he is on his own.
I just hurt so so much and I know that many of you, if not all will know how I am feeling, or at least relate to it. I only have 1 sn friend and her DC is very severe so I can't moan to her as she has it worst that me.
DH is great at a practical level, but emotionally not switched on at all. He doesn't feel the worries that I do.
How can I make my happy positive front be on the inside, I want to stop hurting???
