Yep, I have 2 ASD/ADHD children. Between extra support needed with school, therapy appointments amd daily behaviour interventions, it sure is exhausting!

Your post makes perfect sense! I care for my 91 year old mother who lives with me. I also babysit my 18 month old grandson. The only day I do both at the same time is Thursdays, so Fridays are always bad days, but I love them both so much and will endure it for their sake. Or maybe I do it for my sake. Sometimes I don't think I'd get off the couch if it weren't for them.

I can SO relate to you hon--my husband has diabetes and can barely walk. I'm the only breadwinner so I can't AFFORD to have fibro--but I do so I keep putting one foot in front of the other. The stress of being a caregiver is what's hardest on me--so definitely take 'me' time.

So do I. High functioning autism and developmental delay mild mental retardation early and said bipolar. Although he can get in Services since year but he’s also a twin and she isn’t in the same boat as him you’re a typical with certain other emotional issues I would think. I’m barely ever on here anymore and I’m always too tired to even actually type it hit buttons.
