Really feeling awful

Im parked up in a layby, just to get out the house.

Im really struggling. I have 2 dc l. Dd 9 and ds 7. Ds has suspected asd. Has been refered for asessment.

Each day is a battle with him atm. He wont get dressed without argument. Won't leave the house without a huge fuss.

I explain everything in detail, where we are going, when, whos going etc just to get him to agree to go anywhere.

When we are out he'll often meltdown and scream and hit me.

Today is a bad day, literally just needed to run an errand, he screams in the street, hits me, he doesnt want to go into the post office. People are staring. Im broken. Hes broken. Tears prick my eyes then roll down my cheeks. I feel sick, angry and overwhelming tiredness. Get back to the car and hes calming down. Hes safe. Im tired

Flowers I don't know what to say. That sounds so hard, I have no words of wisdom to make it less tough.

That is so bloody hard. Have a hug and a handhold.

Anyone who can offer some respite?

I have left my six year old and three year to just head out to Cambridge by myself for the day. I’m currently sitting in a restaurant on my own, which looks weird but fuck it. I’ve had enough. Spent the morning in tears. I feel your pain.

That sounds so hard for you. My nephew has asd and my sister says the mums she met at a support group are the only people who really get it. It’s been very helpful for her.
