[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] You can still be a regulating influence on your kids even if they are spending time away from you with the racist paternal family members. Consider the message nthat you're sending them while continuing to stay with the father. I totally get the unique pressures you're under with twins and a child with special needs, though. You haven't directly cited that as an issue, but I can only imagine how hard it would be a raise a child with special needs as a single parent. I know I couldn't handle my ASD child by myself.[/quote] OP here. Caring for my daughter is totally fine. Once I understood the reality of therapies, different cognitive development, and released the expectations I had based on neurotypical children, I leaned into her care and I don’t even think of it as a big deal most days.[/quote] Out of curiosity, do you have an incredibly flexible job? Accepting the situation and understanding what you have to do is one thing. Actually having the time to do it is entirely different.[/quote] OP here. I don’t want to give too many details, but I was able to structure things over the course of about five years to accommodate what my daughter needs.[/quote]
