Yes to me this title reflects what you and many more go through with their special needs children. What I know adds to the despair is the lack of schools needed for these children. Any luck finding any who can help you with your children JB?
No, and many parents like me suffer the same fate. That is part of the despair... The fact that there is no moment of relief. At least if there was some special place they could go and be properly looked after then you could take a break for yourself.
I figured as much, I guess I was just hoping that my feeling was wrong. What to do, what can you do? Well giving up is not an option and forming something like a support group with other parents with special needs children will go a long way. It helps to talk to one another and it lets you know that you are not alone, which is how many such parents feel.

Comments: As a parent with one low functioning autistic child I can relate to a lot said here. People don't know what its like, the pain, sleepless nights, sudden outbursts of emotion, the public stares and humiliation because you should be parenting a different way. Sometimes you feel like giving up, you really do.
