[quote=Anonymous]I love my child but her undiagnosed special needs are very difficult to deal with and my patience is growing thinner by the day. In addition, the daily whining, begging and crying are just too much and I snap at her or compare her aloud to other kids. I know I need to do better by her but as a single mom with limited funds I am not able to have regular therapy/counseling/babysitting/after school activites. Are there any support groups in DC or Silver Spring that are inexpensive or free where I can get some support or parenting help? I lose my patience with her speech and behaviors and find myself dreaming of sending her off to boarding school or sleep away camp for the entire summer. If you don't have a child with SN please don't judge and criticize me as you have no idea how difficult this life can be. I'm posting to see if anyone who has felt as I do can steer me in the direction of some help. I think individual therapy for me is also in order but co-pays plus babysitting fees may make it out of reach. I have no family in the area and I'm not sure where to turn. Thanks for your help.[/quote]
