Feeling low

[KQDbq]

How do you all get yourselves through the low times of parenting a delayed child? I am crying every day. My son keeps having seizures, he's still barely babbling at 2.5 yrs old, my husband and I are considering separating, and it's just really hard to find the joy in life.  I feel horrible. I see other people with delayed kids and they seem so together. How do they do it???

Welcome! I have highs and lows, parenting is difficult. I only have one child and he is special needs. I don't know what it's like to do anything else. For me and my dh we try to foccus on the successes even if they are small. I am so sorry you are going through such a difficult time right now. There are many moms on this board who can understand what your going through. There are also a couple of them who have children with seizures. Also something I have learned is that even the moms who seem really pulled together spend time crying, screaming and worrying about the developmentally delayed child.

Its hard but there are times where i cry, scream and yell just because i feel overwhelmed. I did that a lot the first 2.5 years of my son's life. My son is now 7 years old. Now i do it occasionally or when i feel overwhelmed or I worry to much. My DH and I did separated for a while, we talked things thru a lot while separated. And i learned a lot about him. Got back together and we make it a point to go out on a date at least once a month just to reconnect and talk about us.
