mentally & physicly exhausted....... | Autism PDD

Just thought I'd vent a little...I NEVER do that, RIGHT??? LOL!

Off that subject..................................................... ..........................

My oldest Daughter wants to TRY to take care of her baby for a day or so, which worries me to death, but he IS her baby, & I KNOW she misses him. But I know that she'll call me to come get him when she can't handle him anymore. So you'd THINK that maybe I could take this time to try & get a little sleep, since sleep is nill when taking care of a newborn, but since he won't be here tonight, I SHOULD be able to sleep, RIGHT??? NOPE, I'm gonna be worried sick! Yes, I know I'm rambling, that happens when I haven't slept in a few dyas! I just get sorta punchy.

Oh, by the way..........

HAVE A GREAT & SAFE WEEKEND Y'ALL!!!!!

God Bless you & your Families & keep you all safe!

Feel free to PM (Personal Message) me or e-mail me, I LOVE getting BOTH!!

Is she in the right frame of mind to even be capable of making such a decision?

I also understand the situation of not being able to have her live with you but maybe reevaluating the situation and trying to set rules and guideline to fix things for the sake of the baby, and everyone else's sanity. If you are constantly running to help her with things and doing chores for her or helping her care for the baby at her home maybe having her come to your home would make things easier on you. I understand I dont know the full situation. I am sure you are doing what you feel is best for all of you. I know I can't live with my mother! I dont even speak to her!

I feel for you and your family, I really do. I know its difficult.

I hope everything turns out ok and you are able to relax some.

Good luck with your autism eval as well!

They have a online screening tool to see if you are eligible for ssi.  Hope things improve with your daughter.  If she is anything like my brother, who has good intentions at the time but has the vivid mood swings.  So it is really hard dealing with it.  I know anytime I let my brother live with me, he did agree to all the rules I put in place and that worked for anywhere from 3 weeks to 3 months.  His problem was not only the mood swings but the paranoia too.  But when he did apply himself he was quite good at anything he set his mind too.  So hang in there.  Hope it gets better for you.

Hi Linda!    Some good suggestions from Michelle above!!    We suspect my husband has aspergers but see no reason to go for a dx at this point.    we have 2 kids on the spectrum.    Perhaps getting the dx for yourself may make it possible for you to qualify for SSI!    I don't know your financial situation.....and I know there are plenty  of  stipulations for it  but hey.....if u can get it why not?!

I really feel for you in this situation with your daughter!    Our lives are similar in dealing with mental illness.    hope you are sleeping well as i sit here at 2am!!
