People have no idea. It’s like drowning and everyone watches and says “so sorry” or “ I couldn’t do it”. Like thanks Deborah I can’t either 🫠🫠🫠

Nothing angers me more than when someone says "you're so strong I could never do it!" I'm like yeah thanks because I can't either but I don't have choice!

this is a big part of my life that I don’t talk about bc it’s so full of grief & sadness that I can’t imagine talking about it and someone only saying “I could never do it” 💔

I was just talking with another special needs mom and I was confessing to disassociating While my son has an extreme meltdown. I can’t hold him, I can’t leave, I can’t use OT skills in the heat of it, I can’t talk, I have to just sit and monitor so he isn’t alone or harmful and wait it out. I just go somewhere else in my mind to be able to do that and I felt guilty about it. She does the same thing! Hugs to you and I love you too!

Yeah I wasn’t prepared for the isolation. The people I thought would get it don’t. And the people who do get it don’t live close by😭

Some days it’s just a cry kind of day. lol. Where it all feels like it’s crashing. But honestly most days are good. It definitely feels isolating though. I have no friends left. My daughter is my best friend now. And that’s okay.

Not a special needs mama but I keep a special needs girl during the day so her parents can work. Her mama is literally my hero. How she does it all is just amazing.

It’s incredibly lonely because ppl just dont understand and if I take him to a birthday party or a plate date I’m watching little man like a hawk and everyone else is socializing. I often cry after birthday parties.

I’m a special needs mama myself and the isolation hits different. You can’t go out and do what everyone else does. My son is completely disabled. Wheelchair and he will never walk or talk

It is so lonely. I’ve never struggled with my mental health as I have with this all the late nights and meltdowns people don’t understand what a mental toll it can take over the years of being a care taker for children on spectrum. The only difference is most of us don’t have a village we do it alone.

Relationships with other special needs parents is about the only place to not feel alone in it. I’m a Smith-Magenis Syndrome mom :)
