Ranting!
There are some days when I look at him (and to look at him he looks like any normal child) And I have to try to remind myself that he is not a normal child. Yesterday was one of those days. You name it and he cried about it. A friend that wasn't so nice to him, he did not get a perfect score on his writing paper, he couldn't sand his derby car well, he had to take a shower , brush his teeth, just anything. I thought I was going to lose it. And to top it off for him he was having tics in the evening again.I just hate to see the tic that makes him clack his knees together, it just sounds like it hurts and sometimes bruises. (Thank goodness he had no homework). Just still having a hard time thinking that he is not doing these things on purpose. And sometimes(take that back)a lot of the time his tone of voice sounds like he is always giving me or anyone attitude, which gets close to putting me over my limit! (That part I hear could be the Aspergers not the tourettes) But good gosh what more can God give me. I use to think I was a very patient person. But I still Love him. Sometimes you just have to keep saying that.

Tracee,
ReplyDeleteAs you are aware of,,,,,I've been dealing with a lot of these same issues for years. BUT,,,the most important thing of all is to make sure that you take care of yourself first (and NO; THAT'S NOT SELFISH),,,,,,,then you will feel better about giving your all to Taylor's needs. Scott has made me the person that, today, I'm very proud to be! And yes; there were, and still are, plenty of days when you think that you just can't take one more thing. My very best advice to you is "BE GOOD TO YOURSELF"
I can imagine it is so hard to differentiate between what he can and can't control with his attitude, considering every child his age has an attitude problem a lot of the time. You are doing such a great job with him, Tracee! I hope you know what a wonderful mother you are.
ReplyDeleteI hear ya!!!! I'm right there with you. More days than not lately. Clynn128
