08/19 Tired of Being a Mom
Quote From: hkmtmomI HAVE A SPECIAL NEEDS CHILD WITH A SEVERE SEIZURE DISORDER A LEARNING DISABILITY THAT AT 7 YEARS PUTS HER MENTAL AGE AT 12-18 MO AND SHE HAS SECONDARY AUTISUM. SHE HAS VERY AGGRESSIVE DAYS AND I AM ALONE WITH HER AND MY OTHER 3 KIDS WHO ALL HAVE RAD TO SOME DEGREE DUE TO BEING ADOPTED/FOSTERED. I HAVE NEVER CONSIDERED LEAVING MY CHILDREN OR ALLOWING THEM PLACEMENT AWAY FROM HOME. I KNEW IF THERE WERE ISSUES I NEEDED TO BEEDUCATED ON PROVIDING THE BEST OF CARE. THAT'S WHAT I'VE DONE. WHEN MY DAUGHTER WAS BORN MY GOALS AND DREAMS CHANGED AND I DON'T REGRET GIVING HER ALL I CAN. IT'S CALLED BEING A MOTHER. EVERYWOMAN WANTS THE "PERFECT" HEALTHY BABY, BUT REALITY IS IT DOESN'T ALWAYS HAPPEN, YU LIVE WITH WHAT YOU ARE GIVEN AND LEARN TO LOVE EACH PRECIOUS MOMENT WITH YOUR KIDS. I'm not a super mom your not a super mom, we are moms that meet are childrens needs, as all mothers should do. This mother is not meeting Alexes needs so he needs to be placed somewhere they can meet his needs without the pity party the mother though for herself. He needs teachers that will be consistent with him, and not move him around like a chair. He needs more then this mother is willing to give.
