Feeling a bit overwhelmed

September 9, 2011

I am being pulled in way to many different directions. Each direction is important but their is only so much of me to go around.

This week has taken it's toll and we still have aren't done yet. Gavin has to be to the Cleveland Clinic in a few hours. I have no idea how long this is going to take either. All I know is that it's very important that we be there today as we have to figure out what is going on with Gavin.

Contrary to what some people assume,  I don't want preferential treatment.  I simply want people to understand why things are the way they are.  We aren't irresponsible,  we are simply buried and cannot keep up with everything.  Whether it's the bills,  house work,  yard work or anything else,  I simply cannot keep up.

I'm not asking for a free pass here but maybe a little compassion and understanding would be nice.  In real life,  not many people seem to understand let alone care about our struggles.  They expect the same from us that they would expect from anyone else.  The problem with that logic is that we are not just anyone else and we are most likely dealing with way more them most other people outside the special needs community.

I just feel myself cracking under the constant demand and unrealistic expectations.  I would guess that at least a few of you understand what I'm talking about,  as you have been there yourself.

I'm not complaining,  I just venting a little bit.  There's a difference as far as I'm concerned.  I stating the fact that I don't know how much more I can take. Like it or leave it,  it's my truth and I stand behind it.
