As much as i love & adore my children, i really need to rant about my issues with fellow parents who are possibly struggling with the same things?
my daughter is 5 & my son is 3. Im a single parent, have been for three years now.
my daughter is currently under evaluation with her school & gp regarding adhd & asd. She never stops with anything, either be body movements or talking. It drains every inch of energy i have in me everyday. My son on the other hand is polar opposite, quiet mostly & doesnt know more than 5 words, just does the occasional babble. My struggle with him is communication. Even getting the simplest yes or no takes a million years for him to do.
my gp has said im experiencing yet another parental burnout and ive admitted to my psychiatrist im losing the will to survive like this much longer.
i am going through my own mental wellbeing search at the moment, ive had depression since a teen but im being tested for bipolar & asd.
my temper is getting worse & my patience getting shorter.
in my house the only way i can get through to mainly my daughter is to ahout & i absolutely hate it. Im a very quiet person and i am often apologising to my neighbours every time i see them because of how loud i get and often it happens :/
Its mainly after theyve been at their dads for the weekend, they come home with an attitude, ungrateful, spoilt and the ‘i dont have to follow your rules’ kinda vibe!
i often get to the point where i just want to give them to their dad and just become a secondary parent instead of a primary parent. My boyfriend and my mum have said i look like im close to being sectioned (not the first time)
i dont want to lose my kids. Ive always wanted the best for them.
i dont know, like i mentioned i am just ranting, if its one thing ive learnt, it is better to get negativity off your chest!
