I’m quite aware that there are bigger problems in the world but today has been a shitty day. DS15 new iPad he’s had for 4 months has cracks across the screen. He’s autistic, 6ft 3, he’s not feeling all too well and is convinced he can’t use it still even though it’s still working perfectly fine. I’m afraid he’s going to ruin Christmas for everyone because he’s in a foul mood. I thought I’d selected insurance for it but apparently I didn’t. He never lies and is Adamant he never dropped it. I’m inclined to believe him as I’ve never had reason to say otherwise, he’s quite forward and doesn’t hold back. He’s convinced the case is too tight which maybe the problem as it is military. It’s his go too, when he’s anxious which is 90% of the time, his iPad calms him down. It’s a newer model so screen replacement is just not an option right now, as I have next to no money.
DP was being a class A dick earlier whilst out food shopping. In the end I told him to leave and I would make my own way home. He didn’t he calmed down outside. I was feeling really festive but now I just wanna curl up and sleep till it’s over. Having an autistic child is draining, for the most part we have it managed but when unexpected things happen it goes so wrong. I’m mentally drained. Not just from today, everything. He’s struggling with his GCSEs, walked out of several of his mocks, he’s reluctant about going to college next year as it’s new surroundings and he doesn’t like change. dd has last year in primary school so I’m trying to support her. I just feel like I’m being pulled in 100 different directions.
anyone else not had a great day?
