[quote=Anonymous]Or is just me? After so many years of special needs parenting, trying to be  kind and empathetic as I advocate while also hiring an advocate as needed, all the ups and downs and then....

Sandwich generation stuff with so many inlaw emergencies and my own parent emergencies and then....

Daughter (the one who doesn't have special needs) suddenly diagnosed with an autoimmune and husband having a freak medical issue and....

Then more special needs stuff comes up because it always comes up because I only get these lulls before there is something happening..

I know we are all resilient and we just keep bouncing back and we do what we have to for our kids and family, but OMG! And, I try to be genuinely empathetic when friends complain about kitchen reno hassles, because I know that truly is tough and I know it's upsetting when your kid is struggling in her 8th AP class and she worries nightly about getting into her 1st choice ivy or your kid doesn't make travel sports or your flight to Europe was delayed 4 hours, but sometimes I think....why can't those be my problems?

So cheers to anyone in the "I should have had a nervous breakdown already, but so far I am still standing" club. May we keep dusting ourselves off and getting back up![/quote]
