Hi all,
I have a child with additional needs - things can be hard at times. We are very close but meltdowns can be intense and aggressive.
They are bigger and stronger than me. I’m always exhausted!
H and I are likely separating - on good terms.
How do you cope/share childcare without disrupting and unsettling them too much but giving each parent some respite?
I also don’t work currently, H is breadwinner…so I’m worried about that too and have lost a lot of confidence when it comes to jobs and fitting it around childcare, school runs and long drop offs at school - all takes time as they find transition arriving and leaving school hard, can sometimes take way beyond an hour, sometimes two, factoring in travel time. H has quite an important high stress job, which can sometimes be a little flexible.
Im scared to go it alone! I’m struggling in Summer Hols a little as it is! I appreciate I won’t totally be alone.
Just after experiences and advice really please. Will I regret separating from H? I don’t know…
