No one ever thinks they will be “that parent.”
You know the ones you see in the store, all while trying to be cautious not to make any judgment, yet the human in us can’t help it.
Remarks as “that’s not unacceptable” “my kid could never.”
I can’t lie; there were times when I said it would never be me,
I was ignorant because I did lack the knowledge.
Mental and Behavioral imbalances are severe, and if we’re honest, some days I don’t feel like I can handle it.
The guilt you begin to experience is unsettling because it’s not the child, yet the behavior you develop resentment.
Wanting to find just one suitable answer yet struggling because you haven’t wholly made it to acceptance
When an episode rises, the blackouts prevent them from seeing us
it is like they’re running off a motor
we all would be tired to
how is it that society expects kids to handle their emotions
when were we barely making it?
A struggle that corporal punishment won’t fix
Mental and Behavioral illness causes a great deal of anxiety. That’s not something that a child can control, so why should they be punished for it?
I certainly get it; I’m here, I am that parent.
I’m guilty of being beyond frustrated that I can’t be around my child. It takes so much courage to admit it. No parent wants to feel this way, yet the judgment of this world makes it so hard not to.
I know that you love your babies, and you’re a GREAT parent too.
Always remember to take care of yourself, because they need you
It’s impossible to pour from an empty cup.
Warm Regards
