[quote=Anonymous]I feel so alone all the time. It’s nearly impossible for me to make plans outside the house except during very limited windows of time when I have childcare (and even then, they can get cancelled last minute because the caregiver doesn’t show up). I don’t actually know any other mothers in person who have kids with SN. But even if I did, my DS is so all consuming that he takes all my energy on outings or at home. I can’t imagine how I’d ever do a play date. We can’t go to family events because my DS has such severe behavior issues. I always end up having to leave early or alone outside with my DS while everyone else enjoys the meal or whatever. I feel so miserable and lonely. I feel like I have no friends. Other moms of kids with SN seem just as burnt out as I am and have zero time. And my friends with NT kids don’t understand and always say hurtful Things inadvertently. The weekends are the worst and time seems to stop. Every day feels like a month. God I’m just so incredibly sad tonight. How do you have real life friends? [/quote]
