You need a place where you can do that, and other people need a place where they can read about it. This is so important, Mary!kate hopperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08761820572827505993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8189835841507845518.post-53805249995837712092009-10-18T05:28:44.700-07:002009-10-18T05:28:44.700-07:00Personally, I think many people don't understa...Personally, I think many people don't understand the internal energy zapper parents of children with special needs possess. <br /><br />Often, I am tired and I know that other people just don't understand why I am so tired. <br /><br />But, internally, emotionally, cognitively, whatever you want to call it, there are parts of any given day when I feel like I've run a marathon for the very first time.<br /><br />Throw into the mix my own applied pressures like "am I doing enough?", and well, I'm just not the gal I used to be. I have good days and bad days...just like Gabriel.<br /><br />One thing that I find can be challenging is accepting when I am frustrated, or disappointed, or angry as a mother. This probably has less to do with Gabe having Ds, but I think that the urge to supress these more negative emotions is stronger because he does have Ds. <br /><br />Finding coping strategies (like asking Oscar to go to his room to let his body relax) is a brilliant idea -- and I think you've offered me more insight about what I could be doing to cope a little better with some behaviours.<br /><br />Thank you!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8189835841507845518.post-89657976022266739592009-10-17T22:59:53.346-07:002009-10-17T22:59:53.346-07:00No wonder. That's an apt expression. No wonder...No wonder. That's an apt expression. No wonder. There is absolutely no wonder, sometimes, in this life we lead, and the only thing I can think of is that we just have to make it up. Make up the wonder. Or look for it when it goes hiding. And you do, you always find the wonder. This is a great post with a surprise ending.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03313726816776097840noreply@blogger.com
