[quote=Anonymous]I'm not the OP but I'm so grateful for all the support groups. I'm in over my head. I have 3 children. One with apraxia and SPD, one with Tourette's and anxiety and a third with dysgraphia and executive functioning issues. I find my family and friends don't understand what my life is like, although they are certainly wonderful people who offer to listen. My children's disabilities are "invisible" which means most people underestimate the amount of effort it takes to get through the week and MCPS could care less about providing the services any of them needs! I think I could deal with any one of these challenges but when they pile on it is overwhelming. We have bankrupted ourselves helping our kids and I need help for myself. I haven't slept in days because I'm so overwhelmed and stressed out.  I want to do the best for my kids, but now I feel my own life is spiraling out of control and I dread facing the day. I can no longer make even a simple decision because I'm afraid it will be the wrong one. We'll be lucky to pay our bills this month. To outsiders we seem like we are comfortably middle class but the fact is our mortgage is a huge stress because we never imagined having all of these therapy/medical bills when we purchased 10 years ago. I hope one of these groups can provide the support I need.[/quote]
