30. Parents Have Special Needs Too

'Where is MY therapist?!' If you are the parent of children with special needs, like myself, then you'll understand what I mean. After feeling massive overwhelm, inadequacy, helplessness, and run ragged I finally broke down into tears like a baby and blubbered, 'I need help too!' And when I say help I mean not just someone to sympathize with me. I wanted solutions that would help me get a handle on the continual roller coaster of emotions I was going through. I'm not sure what will work for you but here I share what I have experienced and learned in hopes that it may help one of you.
