The journey will test you past your breaking points most times, but it’s all worth it to see progress in your child. The only social life I have is with the kiddo and fur babies. I don’t know what balance is within my own private life. I have no privacy whatsoever. I have to plan simple outings like grocery shopping, and that’s a major feat in itself! We live on routine and repetition. I eat healthy and the kiddo has the opposite diet because there’s only very limited types of foods he’ll eat, even though I consistently try to introduce better foods for him. But hey..if you want to clean up puke by telling me to “make” him eat the better foods..be my guest!🤷🏾♀️ No one can ever be prepared to have a child with special needs but he’s treated like any other typical child. He is my best gift I’ve been blessed with. Imagine how challenging it is doing this on your own with no strong support system because people don’t understand, nor try to understand what you truly endure each day..I know God gives me strength to endure each moment.
