[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]S/he's lucky to have YOU advocating for him/her.......[/quote]

I can see the others being annoying and rude, but this one seems fine to me - my son has mental health issues and I am just not as assertive as DH, or as good of an advocate for him as DH because of this.  I think saying that this just recognizes the parent's talent.  [/quote]

OP here.

Yes, I'm advocating for my child, because really, what's the alternative?  The child needs help and when he's not getting what I think he needs, I try and get him that help, it's what I think any parent would do.

"Better you than me" is something I hear from one particular friend every time my SN child comes up in conversation.  She tells me she would never be able to deal with these multiple disabilities.

Right now we are in crisis mode, again, and I'm doing all I can.  SN child gets the majority of my time and attention, NT child has terrible anxiety and is therapy and as a result I give the majority of what's left to that kid.  My husband gets very little from me and I have nothing left for myself. Two years ago when we were out of crisis mode I left the kids with DH and went away for the weekend.  I flew up to my hometown on Friday and flew home on Sunday.  I lucked into another calm period and DH had leave time and I was able to get a little time away.  That was a year ago and I'm feeling that need to step away for a few days to recharge.  I'm spent and we're still in crisis mode.[/quote]
