Parents with Special Needs kiddos

Love the welcome to holland story. Thanks,
We're not sure if our son is SN or not. He's certainly talking very little for a 2 year old. In case he is, I feel he needs a healthy mom who can be there for him as best and as long as possible. So here I am...
You ladys are amazing and aspiring. Your children are lucky to have you!

Hi Ladies, I'm back now (at work so have time to respond now ).

My son is 12 yr and he has a rare chromosome deletion (15q11.2) that causes developmental delays, cardiac abnormalities, speech delays, autism and ADHD....yep quite a handful! I also have a 8yr old average girl.

My reason for being on here is twofold, my ex-husband walked out on out 2.5 yrs ago for an internet woman leaving me with full custody of the children. I have my own health concerns (PCOS, hypothyroid, B12 and iron anemic, pre-diabetic) and now I have to get it together because I am the only one there for my kids.

It is tough, you do what you need to for your children and yourself, and if you come to my house and it is messy I take that as a good sign, that means that I am caring for my children first!
