My son

Lately, I’ve been struggling to sleep at night. I have to wake up at least twice a night and it’s so frustrating to deal with. My stress is over my son and his issues. We’ve come to the realization that our 3 year old son, might have Autism and it’s been tough to deal with. I already have depression and I don’t always it under control and now things have changed and it’s hard for me and him. I love my son of course but I don’t think I can handle him being “different”. He goes for his evaluation in October and I have so much anxiety about it. Sigh! Life is just not fair. I love him to death but I don’t know how I can be a good mommy to him when I have a major mental illness myself. I cry oftentimes.
