Parent emotionally drained

That’s about it. Today I am completely empty of all empathy, sympathy or what ever.

I feel guilty that I feel anger and resentment. Guilty that I have been a cow to push her away. My 17 year old has Global development delay and bi polar.

She has taken things to another level this week. Meanwhile I am dealing with her older sister who is physically ill. Been battling for her for the past weeks gp is worried about my older girl and had told me to watch for signs of sepsis.

Don’t know why I am posting. Anyone got tips for coping?

I have two children with autism and it’s not easy. I feel so spent emotionally I just wish I could stare at a wall sometimes. My hubby tells me to go out for some time to myself, but sometimes I’m not sure I’d come back. It is draining.

I now have a reflexology appointment every month as that is my treat and I always have a little time when I can yo just sit and watch the birds in my garden.
