I’m a single parent to a 8 year old who is also autistic and likely adhd. No contact at all with other parent and that has been his choice and he has not initiated or made any attempts to have contact.
up until now things have been okay but I’m really starting to struggle and feel overwhelmed. Just life and all of life admin and stuff that needs to be done is overwhelming. I work part time and have a stressful job and feel like I’m barely coping. There is always so much to do and I feel exhausted and I’m really feeling the term ‘single’ parent as I am completely solo. Also the mental load of running a home, earning money making sure I’m organised so my child has everything they need. Parenting is hard and I feel my mental health is not good. I need a break. I don’t message friends back and know it’s rude but I just don’t have the mental energy to engage in chat
is being burnt out as a single parent such a thing?
