Hi there everyone. Anyway i have a Autistic son who is 8 and a boy that has Seizures and he is 5 going on 6 right away. I've been trying to be strong for my husband and my children. I also have a 6 month old baby girl(god i hope she will be okay) Sometimes i feel the world has come crashing down on myself and my husband. I just WISH it would all get better, some times i feel helpless and i don't know what else to do. Anyway i'm glad i found this site because i can read up on other people and i'm not alone. Thanks for listening and reading!

Honey, you are far from alone on this site. I think many of us feel the exact same emotions. It sounds like you and I have a lot in common, my 12 yr old step son has Asperger's, my 5 1/2 yr old daughter has epilepsy and we also have a 3 yr old. My husband is 18 years older than I and has been diabetic his entire adult life. We have been living with my father in law for the last 6 months because our landlord sold our house and we couldn't afford to get into another one, along with hospital bills and lack of working to be with our daughter. To make things worse, my father in law passed away last week. We don't even have time to mourn our loss, because we have to worry about if we are going to be able to get a mortgage on the home, so we can stay here.

So believe me, I am soo with you and would love to chat with you more. Hang in there, and I will keep you and your family in my prayers!

Hey! thanks for replying to my topic. My husband is also diabetic which i forgot to mention. Well a brand new week coming upon us let's see what it brings. I sure can relate to some of the stories i read on this site, so maybe i can be a listener or a reader and try to give out that support that some one needs. but anyway i hope to hear from someone and maybe we can be friends.

My 15 year old autistic daughter started having grand mal seizures last May. I also have a 21 year old ADD daughter that has learning disabilties, an 18 year old Asperger's son, a 17 year old ADHD daughter and my 12 year old son (so far) has no diagnosis! I am a single mom working full time on top of it. I operate on overwhelmed and exhausted most of the time! I truly understand wishing things would be different and feeling helpless!

The people here are AMAZING and I draw strength and inspiration from them! Feel free to contact me anytime!

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
