I am really struggling with coming to terms with the idea of "parenting the child that i have". 3yo with developmental delay and probable ADHD DX down the line.
I feel isolated that his behavior results in me having to hover to make sure he doesnt hurt other children while other moms are sitting and chatting. Im sad that we just can't go/do certain things because his behavior is unpredictable or I know it would be overwhelming. Im coming to terms with the fact that I am not going to have another child because I couldn't handle two of him and dont think I could keep an infant safe and parent him at the same time.
I've never had a long-term therapist before and struggled to find someone who is a good fit. Any recommendations (MoCo, close in to DC) for someone in particular or for finding someone who would be helpful here- and ideally takes insurance?
