Dedicated to all those who can relate

I wish....

I wish you knew what it was like to walk a mile in my shoes.

I wish you knew the challenges I face raising a special needs family.

I wish you knew that I need help even though I don't ask.

I wish you knew how difficult and yet amazing my kids are.

I wish you knew how a random phone call could make my day.

I wish you knew how isolated and unimportant I feel.

I wish you knew how tired I am.

I wish you knew how much I hate your unsolicited and insensitive advice, especially in front of my kids.

I wish you knew how completely overwhelming life is.

I wish you knew how much my kids miss you.

I wish you knew how much I miss you.

I wish you knew what it felt like to watch your kids struggle through life.

I wish you knew how heartbreaking it is to hear, "your child is Autistic".

I wish you knew what it felt like to be a special needs parent.

I wish you knew the sacrifices required to be a special needs parent.

I wish you knew the fear I have of the future.

I wish you knew what it feels like to lose everything.

I wish you knew how much I'd love to hang out, even though I can't.

I wish you knew how much I resent the fact that you never call unless you need something.

I wish you knew how much it hurts to know my kids don't remember your name because your never around.

I wish you knew that I cry at night because I can't do better by my family.

I wish you knew just how much you take for granted every day.

I wish you knew what it felt like to be me.
