03/25 Tired of Being a Mom
Quote From: missbillyThis last woman I don't totally understand. The first two have more of a handle and reason then this last one ever will. I have a son who is ADHD and Neurologically Impaired--meaning he is about 4 yrs behind everyone his age and he is 19. Believe me I felt overwhelmed at times but I never ever thought about leaving my kids. Believe me Justin was a handle when he was little and growing up he got into plenty of trouble that we had to work through with doctors and special school. My daughter is fine she has no problems and got into trouble also but we took care of it and I think this last one just needs to have a time to go shopping by herself or with friends. My late husband always told me go get out have a night with your friend after taking care of the kids 24/7 he'd say you need some time to yourself and I took it believe me and it helped. Just having a few hours can make you see things in a different light. I also know the overwhelming feeling you get when you don't get that time out because for the last seven years I haven't had that advantage anymore because my husband was killed in a car accident so believe me all those single mothers out there that have been doing it on there own from day one you sincerely have my congratulations on being able to do it because it is difficult doing it on your own. It's attitudes like yours that make it sooo difficult for moms to speak up. Just because some are "lucky" enough to have children without "disabilities" , doesn't mean they are whistling around the house 24-7 with a smile on their face as they are baking cookies for the kids. There will always be others less and more fortunate then you, that doesn't mean you are going to be elated with life every second. On another note, sorry to hear about your husband. I can't imagine how hard that must have been.
