[QUOTE="buddy, post: 505521, member: 12886"] Hard question but a really honest one and there are times when I dont like my son. I love him dearly but I have had up to a couple of days when my brain just separates from him... after particularly hard times when he hits me or makes a scene somewhere... It just gets to be too much. For me I dont feel like a bad parent for THAT (I have moments for other times when I feel I have not done my best... but I eventually do give myself a break, helps when folks here share and remind me I am human). So some things that help me.... respite (for us Integrated Listening Systems (ILS) workers for four hours three times a week), finding things for us to do together, no friends or family....just Q and me. We go to places he likes and I work really hard not to nit pick for little things that are just who he is, even though they can be really frustrating and even embarrassing (like when I switched over to Integrated Listening Systems (ILS) at a convenience store and as he was collecting his stuff he was yelling D-bag and this guy was walking by and gave a stare like what kind of mother are you anyway..????) I guess his stare was worse than my son... As my friend says... He has autism, what was this guy's excuse??? I talk to people here, and one or two friends with kids kind of like Q. Go easy on yourself. It does take making a conscious effort to make sure they ARE in pictures. They are not their behaviors. But it is hard to be around it all the time. Is she able to process things through a counselor? I dont remember her history....what are the reasons she has such problems?? HUGS, go easy on yourself... Dee [/QUOTE]
