[quote=Anonymous]You need a support person. Someone that you can safely tell your concerns to.  This might be a therapist. I always think of it like the safety talk on a plane. You need to put your own oxygen mask before you can help others. You need to take care of yourself so that you can help your child. The right therapist should be able to help you find ways to stay calm and find ways to look for the positive.  You need this. It is not a "want".

As time goes on you may find friendships with other parents who can relate and support you.  I finally found this when my SN son was in middle school. I go out to dinner with another mom every week while our sons are in an activity. We vent to each other. Sometimes we can help each other figure out solutions to our problems. But we are there for each other so we don't feel like we are alone and that makes me be able to handle the issues.  Even our DH have noticed the difference of our stress levels if we miss a week. Dinner out is cheaper then an hour of therapy but either one is money well spent if it helps you love your child.[/quote]
