ME & THE BOYS
New Member
Hi there,
I am sure many of us feel this with our special needs children. Especially if we are spending 85 + of our time with them. They worry us, they need, us, they test us, they torment us, they drain us.
I feel torn........I mean, I feel he needs me to do the better job (HIS DAD DOESN'T DO), AND I feel guilty not always being there and making ME TIME.
It is a horrible place to be in.
I am so exhausted (mentally/physically/emotionally) DRAINED, yet if I make "ME TIME", I feel just awful. However, I also feel great making "ME TIME.".
I imagine soon my husband and I will separate and through womans groups, am learning I need to make ME TIME (LESS THE GUILTY FEELINGS).
How do I go about insisting my husband have my S.N child more than 4 days out of the month? I will go insane having him 26 days. Life with him is EXTREMLY EXTREMELY HARD! DRAINING! NOT MANY SMILES IN THE DAY.
God, I feel awful feeling/saying this.
Thoughts? Does anyone feel like me? What do I do about my guilty feelings asking my husband help me out more once he leaves?
Thank you in advance for your responses.
