Struggling

I'm really struggling at the moment and feel that I shouldn't have had a child. She's 9 now and has autism we are very isolated due to having limited family and she really struggles to make friends. We have had a difficult summer holiday so far with just me and her and I feel so so guilty. I desperately wanted a baby but feel now that I was being very selfish and didn't think about the consequences. Was I wrong to bring her into the world I wonder.

Of course you weren't wrong! Maybe you're burnt out/exhausted. Can she go and stay with family/her father for a week or two?

Hold onto the moments of joy, even if they seem few and far between at the moment- your child is here and you are doing your best - you aren't selfish.
