I have four kids, three are school age and diagnosed with SEN. The eldest finished his A levels last year and I suspect he also has autism. He was borderline on a ADOS at 12. Two of my children have an inherited genetic duplication inherited from their dad who I now strongly suspect has learning difficulties or a personality disorder.
I'm always trying to fix things, fix the kids education, fix my husband. I'm done. I feel so relived my struggles have been taken seriously for once.
My eldest has mental health struggles but refuses every offer of help. In fact he has a reason why he can't do anything. I have offered him driving lessons, a car, pay for his cbt, pay for moped but he doesn't want to drive a car. He can't get a moped without all the leather gear etc. So for any given opportunity, he can't do it because.... he he was a persistent school refuser.
My husband had 45k of debt on a dmp then three months before Christmas got another 7k built up on another credit card. He lied and lied and practically needed to drag the truth out of him and he was lieing up to point I logged onto his account.
My mum is getting old and frail. She is also is someone who "how I ment to do that then?" To everything. Give her a lift to her sisters funeral? How can you possibly do that then? Needs a shunt to drain fluid from her brain? How could she possibly get to London?
I'm surrounded by helpless victims who can't possibly help themselves.
I'm sick of my eldest son.
I'm sick of my husband
I'm sick of my mother.
I have three kids at school that no one advocates for but me. But dispite running myself sick with stress trying to get their education straight I'm just judged for what I don't do. I really really hate my life. If it wasn't for the youngest needing me I would run away. I have to keep on pushing my eldest to get his uni applications in but any offer of help is me nagging. I feel like I need to offer the help to get him to uni but mentally I'm done. He is so ungrateful. Wants a normal life but not studying or working. Can't possibly work for minium wage. But needs money. Complains the house is a mess. Does nothing at all to clean up
