| Hey Charlotte i too am a single mother of a 11 yr old boy and like you my boy is becoming too difficult to handle. He has cerebral palsy among other things and it just saps my energy almost every day. At least we have a place like this to talk to others with the same situations. ↑ |

I am an adoptive parent of three special sons. I have been working with children with disablities for 20 some years. I know it is not easy. I am still dealing with the troubles of behavior to this day. If you need a good listener, i am your person. All parents need support! You made the first step. Good for you!
Take care, and do not forget to breath ↑ |

| My 6 year old has Thalasimia B, he was the sweetest child in the world before we found out he was sick. The same time I found out I I was pregnant with my second child. So, If I were to blame I don't know what changed his behaiver. Ever since he has been difficult. Now I have left his father, and we moved to the US I was a stay home mom and now I finished my education and am a single working mom. He is out of control, mad all the time. All I want is a happy enviroment for my kids and he keeps bringing us down. I go so crazy some times I want to send him to his dad. I don't know how to deal with him & he won't talk to me. ↑ |

Hi Charlotte!
I've a 12yr old boy who sounds like your son, god help us!!
I find the only thing to do is have respite whenever you can get it!
I'm starting to sit back abit now as it becomes to hard to fight all the time for everything, like services and school etc
Find a mate you can have a good laugh with, that always helps me!
Cheers Kim ↑ |

| My son just turned 17 and although it is still extremely difficult, age 13 and 14 were the most difficult. Basically an age where your dealing with the triple threat; hormones, special needs and single parenthood (in my case widowhood). For me, what helped was mentally realizing that there were times when I was able to help my son with life skills, lessons and long range plans and other extremely difficult times where I just needed to get through the day, hour, minute, second. There were times when I wanted my family and friends involved and times when I needed privacy. ↑ |
