How do you cope on your own when you don't get a break? my son is very very full on, I find myself sometimes hiding in the toilet to sit in peace for a while, he talks to me or should I say AT me constantly it's all day he never stops speaking its genuinely constant. Even my other children have commented on it saying he is always talking to me, he is constantly showing me things or shoving his laptop in my face to show me things, I will be cooking in the kitchen and he wouldn't wait till I've finished he will constantly come to show me things or constantly asking questions or telling me things on repeat that he has told me a million times (he is autistic) it's relentless and it is really difficult. If I sit on the sofa he will bring a chair from the dining table and place it in front of me and sit and stare at me and talk to me! I feel trapped. He is constantly humming or singing I think everything just needs to be about him. I don't get time away from him other than when he is at school but I mean I don't get any days "off" from it because his father doesn't see him so it's every day the same thing he follows me round the house or waits for me to finish things to start up again, like I will go upstairs to put clothes away and he will be waiting at the bottom for me, he isn't an only child so he is not lonely etc. I posted on another parent group but they didn't understand just told me to be grateful he is like this as he will stop one day but I am finding it really hard if I ask for space or can't find interest in what he is showing me (he shows me the same things over and over) he gets mad at me and goes in a bad mood and starts huffing and going "oh my god" 😐. I dream of weekends to myself where I can switch off from it but then get made out to be a bad mum for wanting some days to myself. How do you cope in this situation? I need to have some time away from him he will just hum constantly if not talking he is constantly attention seeking, I feel bad posting all this but it's the truth.
