Frustrating seems to be the key word here

Ok,so I haven't been on top of my blogging game here. I don't know how people do this everyday. So,yes it's been a while since I have blogged. I guess my purpose for trying to do this blog is so that maybe others would see it and realize they are not alone. What I mean by this is, When you are a parent of a kid with ANY challenges,life is not easy,or fun,or relaxing,or calm,or relaxing,did I mention fun? And here's the thing,you feel like you are alone because most of your friends are people with "normal" kids. That's not to say that the parents of your "special" child are not in this with you. They are and they totally get it. You do form a special bond with those parents because they DO "get it". What I'm talking about is the friends that you go to lunch with or for a girls night out. The friends you regularly work out with or hang out with at parties. The friends you talk to or text on the phone regularly. At least in my case,all of these friends have "normal" kids. So I guess what I hope is that those parents that are feeling lost,or hopeless and feel like nobody else could possibly know what they are going through,I GET IT. There are a ton of people that do know what you are going through and they understand. It's just that,I'm sorry to say,you probably don't know who they are. That sucks,doesn't it? So just know that you are not alone,even though you feel like it. Find those parents in your area that have special needs kids,meet them,get to know them. Once you talk to them you will feel SO much better and you will feel normal. If all else fails,read my blog (if I keep this up) and find some comfort in the fact that you are not alone in this world of raising a child with special needs or challenges that most kids don't have to face. and stay tuned for my next post.....
