Having a neurodivergent child while being neurodivergent yourself poses some unique issues, especially when your own neurodivergence was never addressed when younger so you have little basis on what to do for them
It's no excuse not to try (I'm trying, god I'm trying) but sometimes I just wanna sit in the bottom of a closet and cry. But I can't because I have a child I need to take care of that needs the appropriate attention
i love my child, i would do anything for them, i'm adulting hard and making calls for them i can't make for myself and doing appointments and interactions that are so far out of comfort zone, but it's so hard when I just want to retreat into myself, even just for a little while, I have no time to reset and it feels like it's breaking me
