i have 3 glorious children. 11, 9 and 6. the youngest is ds with sen full statement at main stream school. he is the lovliest thing u could imagine as are all my kids. just feeling a bit rubbish. my self esteem is at an all time low.hubby i feel just doesnt get how bad things are therefore our marriage is suffering. dont really know wot to do. have meeting when we get back to school to hopefully get ds possibly diagnosed. im thinking mild form of autism. hes been seen by the whole spectrum before but nobody has raised concern too much. have to go thru the whole team round the child thing again. not complaining. thru school who have been the best. just in need of words of wisdom

[hugs] it's tough going trying to support a SN child, even worse when your partner isn't being as supportive as they should be.

Does he have his head in the sand about it all or is it a case of him just expecting you to deal with it all single handedly?

Either way a frank conversation with him is probably needed.

Flowers Me and DH hit peak couple of weeks ago, it had been a long time coming had a chat don't know if it'll be worth it in the long run but so far so good, saying that no matter what my feelings are for DH I am back on my feet and I could easily do it alone I am already (technically) doing it alone anyways x2 (DH is like having 2 SEN kids Smile). You'll get back on your feet everything gets worse before it gets better.

Hi, as difficult as it may be I think you need to tell your husband how you are feeling. If you don't feel you can do it face to face then how about writing him a letter in the first instance as sometimes it can be easier that way?

thank you all so much. am sat here crying that total strangers can get it and be so helpful.really appreciate your messages. total head in sand scenario and maybe yes i should write him a letter. i usually just shout when ive had enough! doesnt solve much really does it? just feel we all enter marriage a bit naive and it'll be a bed of roses. not so. kids are a blessing dont get me wrong. wouldnt change a thing. just not wot i expected. hard work having sn child. ill be ok. count my blessings. a lot worse could happen x
