I feel like a horrid mummy, just snapped at my autistic son, it just came out. I feel like I can't hold myself together right now and my in laws are on my back if I have a vent over something so stressful, I am emotionally stressed and I'm losing the motivation. I feel like everything is against me at the moment and I don't how much more I can take. My son won't stop crying or screaming or wanting something from me, it goes on and on and on. I feel under supported from the in laws, they probably help their sons more than my family. I'm not sure if I could keep being married but at the same time, I wouldn't have my husbands support when he's home.

I dont know how to help with autism, but you need some other support. bayou should talk to your husband if you can and then find some help for yourself. You need a break no matter how small, but get away for alittle while. We are here too. I hope you take the advice and get yourself more support somewhere and give some time for you.

it does sound like a very difficult situation. you mention your husband and wanting to leave. what is happening there?
It can be really hard to leave a relationship with all of the other stress that you have.
Is there a parenting agency in your area? Do you have friends or family?
Maybe a day off to rest might help.
Put yourself first for a day.
