Things are getting pretty dire on our end and the stress can be cut with a knife. My new job is taking longer than expected to begin helping my family. One of the things I'm trying to do is find a new freelance writing job. Something that can sorta bring in a few extra dollars.
I had a pretty decent writing job last year but they downsized and I, along with a few others were given the boot.
It's really quite overwhelming to be faced with so many challenges and to have those challenges require resources that you don't have and can't get because those same challenges tie your hands behind your back.
I suppose that's just part and parcel to the whole special needs parenting gig.
People that aren't walking the same path, really can't understand how complex and nearly impossible life can be when you have a chronically ill spouse, three boys with Autism and one of them being extremely medically fragile.
Every special needs family is different. Some have bigger challenges than others but none of us have it easy.
There is no easy solution and sometimes there's no solution at all.
Often times I find that all one can do is have faith that things will somehow work out.
It's important that people understand these plights because families like mine need understanding and support. By sharing my family's experience, I'm hoping that it helps to raise awareness for special needs families in general.
While not every special needs family will face the same challenges as mine, we all face challenges and we all need help and support.
