Guest guest Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 Oh my gosh , I am so sorry. I don't know what to say; but I am thinking of you, and hurting for you as well. Make sure you take care of yourself. Is there anyone who could relieve you for some sleep? MANY thoughts and prayers going to you and your children. , mommy to Meagan (CHaRgE) and 2 1/2 year old twins, and big brother 4 1/2 years, married to the best daddy in the world for 10 years! The mention of my child's name might make me cry. Not mentioning my child's name will break my heart. Unknown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 , I am so sorry to hear about your separation. As a single mom myself, I know firsthand the difficulties in raising a special needs child alone. Do you have any nursing or respite? If not, I would strongly, strongly suggest talking with 's Birth to Three (or whatever they call it in your area) and talk with his caseworker. They don't want you to get sick or they know will end up in the hospital. PLEASE get some help for yourself...you have a long journey ahead. We are here for you...

Guest guest Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 Dear , I am so sorry to hear of the changes to your marriage. Wow. What a shock that must be. Please know the list is here for you. It would seem a good idea to start putting lots of support systems in place so that you will be able to take good care of yourself too. Any good rest and sleep you can get will make everything go more smoothly. If you would like ideas of where to find support, just ask. The first thing that comes to my mind is that either through your older child's school or through a disability group there may be parent groups that provide childcare during parent gatherings. In this way you might meet others with similar issues and concerns. We found neat classes through the Easter Seals for Kendra and met other nice people. It sounds like you are doing well holding yourself together under very difficult circumstances. Yay and bravo to you. I am sure it means the world to your kids. Please take very good care. I hold you in strength and prayer and love. :-) Mom to Kendra, and Camille Quick Update Sorry everybody i havent been around much i have recieved all the messages through the post i will continute to try to keep up i havent really been online much.nathan is doing good he is schedualed for a swalloing study and an upper gi he has been healthy the past couple weeks hes doing well with all his providers hes amking alot of progress im so proud of him.we are going through a tough time right now because my husband of 7 years has decided to leave me he will be moving 2 hours away so he will not be involved with nathans medical needs so now im gonna be a single mom of 2 special needs kids living in the city alone.im trying the best i can to hold it together for the kids but deep inside i feel like im going to loose it any second im worried that im not going to be able to provide for them i cant eat if i do i get sick i cant sleep even though i try im afraid to take my sleeping pills because im afraid i wont hear nathan ive had no sleep in the last 36 hours im trying to handle this the best way i can its going to take awhile to get used to things this is the only life i have known hes the only person i have ever loved and been with if anybody has any words of wisdom to share please do any words of support will help thank you all for understanding mommy to {19 month old CHARGEr} & Katelynn{7 year old ADHD} Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
