[quote=Anonymous]I would never have imagined in my life that my kids would be special needs, and they inherited the family curses from DH. Throughout the process, we found out that DH & his direct family all have undiagnosed autism and adhd, but they all masked so well to the point that I would never think of it. DH does not understand why I am mad at him most of the time,  and I try to be a superman to be working full time, taking care of kids and helping my kids to get friendship, work on their challenges and helping them to act and talk like other kids.

Other families may put their efforts on discipline, good habits, excellance, and manner. I have to prioritize my kid needs on making them to eat ( feeding therapies for early years) to gain weight even though other families may not understand why I feed them junk food. They all have sensory eating disorder, and they gag and vomit if I force them to eat sometimes. Other families may not understand why I do not host playdates, why I have to keep them busy by signing up all these activities to gain certain skills etc.. My kids are high functioning, but they struggle with basic social cues. If my kids are normal , I would love to shift my energy and effort to raise a smart & well behaved kids. I spent a few thousands over 5 years on one kid, and he still cannot swim well. DH can swim and capable to do many things, he can find many reasons to tell me that why he cannot even teach him for once. He is not a good dad or a husband, and I learn that I either have to suck it up to do it or no one would do anything for my kids. They are nice kids, but they just need more love and more effort to achieve some normal goals.
