I’m new here and struggling really bad like most of us. I have 4 little ones and beat myself up because I can’t care for them like I should. Wish I could talk to people in the similar state as me, so that I could understand I’m not alone. Not t that I wish there were individuals like me not at all, but just don’t want to feel so alone.

Welcome Mcai :) I'm glad you reached out to us. You are never alone on this site.

It's a safe place to come when feeling overwhelmed. Your having 4 little ones is a hand full for sure and even more so with the Pandemic.

When you say you can't care for them like you should, is it physically as well as emotionally?

Do you have mental health issues preventing you from handling your family?

I hope you let us know more about your struggles and how it is effecting you. We care :) xx

Hi, I have an autistic 7 year old. I share custody with my autistic ex-husband. Both intelligent people. It can be tough. Now more than normal to find ways to get my son to therapy. My other child is my daughter. Her father died while I was pregnant. I feel like I have no more to give them. I'm bipolar. I'm so drained with less help from family, working while watching my daughter who is 1&a half. Today I freaked out and their grandparents are watching them for a night. I hate that I had to lose my marbles to get help. I can't pick a fight with a virus. I beat myself up often.

Maybe everything will be ok. I hear I should accept myself-warts/freakouts and the good. I thought I would pass that along to you Mcai. We are just humans. It is extremely difficult these days. Never throw in the towel.
