Sick of being a parent

[MrsGhost]

Thats just it really, I love both of my children dearly. But the realisation that ds who is 12 and has severe Cerebral Palsy and Learning Difficulties will be neading Proper Parenting for years and years to come, actually for the rest of my life, and then we will have to make sure that he is well looked after between my death and his has just really got me down know. Maybe it was the 98 millionth nappy this evening that did it.
Argh ignore me, I am just having a off half hour, and tomorrow I will wake my boy up with a smile and a cuddle, before getting my lovely boy up, washed, new nappie on.getting him dressed, fed and waithng for Mr Taxi driver to take DS to school.

I'm not going to ignore you I'm afraid
Your DS should be enabled to acheive independence from his parents just like every other young person, if he or you wants/needs.
Your social worker should be helping you with that as he gets older. He will always be your son and he will always need you of course, but don't feel down.
is there parents in the same boat near you you can meet up with?
My group of 'autisitic' mums is all that keeps me going some days. Ours may have more mobility than your boy, but I can and do empathise.
Don't feel ashamed, I read your post cos those are my words some days!!
all the best to you x

gaunyerseljeannie Thank you, it was just the end of a very long day but today has been a brilliant day and my boy as all ways makes my face ache with smiling. Thank you again
