[quote=Anonymous]OP my child has sensory issues and ADHD too. I used to think I loved him but didn't like him very much. That's a very normal reaction to raising a challenging child.

But your child will from time to time show you why you should love him. He needs time to show this to you. He will need lots of therapy, lots of nurturing, lots of play dates, lots of social skills groups, and compassion.

It takes a truckload of patience to raise our children. This level of patience is often not something we're born with; it's learned over much time.

If your child needs medication, see a psychiatrist and discuss meds.  If you need time for yourself, find that time somehow. Seek counseling for yourself. I did all these things and it helped.

Parents of special needs children usually ignore themselves because their children take so much time. But you need to carve time out for ourselves. It helps to rejuvenate yourself so that you can have patience for him after you return.

Anyone can have a special needs child. But everyone has to somehow find the courage and patience to raise them if they do have them. [/quote]
