I have always wondered what it may be like
to parent a kid with some kind of special needs
Well all kids have their own special needs
and I need to rise up to the occasion.
find words of encouragement from deep within the well of me to support my child with mental illness.
there I've said it.
she suffers from depression and anxiety
and chronic fatigue
and unexplained pain.. fibromyalgia
on top of her other gastro stuff
that's a lot for a 15 year old to bear
so what do I need to do
be her pillar of emotional support
but also help move her along so she learns to cope and manage and live
God
grant me the love and wisdom and courage and serenity I need
to support her, encourage her, cheer her on
and my son
growing up right before my eyes
hair
weights
muscle training
in an arts school he is more involved in sports than he has ever been before
am so happy and proud of him
starting to really know what he wants in terms of his hair and his clothes and his style
hard for me haha but I should also enjoy this process of watching him grow up
I worry I spoil them
giving them what they want almost all the time
I must practise saying no
