Welcome to my Unit 5 blog posting!
I am so frustrated and confused. My eight year old son is driving me right over the edge. It is like living with a tornado that refuses to go away. I really have no idea where he gets all the energy. By the time he passes out at night I am exhausted and completely numb. I often wonder how I am going to make it through the next day. The only thing that keeps me from strangling him in his sleep, is that angelic smile on his face while he sleeps. However; I know that he is just dreaming up new ways to push buttons and run rampant. Does anyone else out there understand? Does anyone out there care? It is hard being a single parent, but even harder when one of them is the spawn of the devil himself. At least he makes for a good research topic. I think it will be therapeutic to write about some of the troubles I face everyday.

Hi Cheri,
ReplyDeleteI feel for you and understand I have been around children all of my life that have different problems and yes you want to "strangle them " but like you said when you look into their angelic face you just can not. I am not a single a parent but I have been the one that has handled both of my sons until they were grown. I am still caring for the 21 year old and I feel like I have lost control of him. I can not get him to stay at home long enough to take his medicines and I can not stay up late at night anymore to give it to him. I have even left it out in a med. cup for him to take and I will find them still there the next morming. It is so important for him to take his seizure , blood pressure , and memory meds., but once they reach that age and have a girlfriend you lose that control over them. I anm here anytime you would like to vent. Cindy
Being a single parent is tough. I was a single parent to two girls. They were great kids but it would have been nice to have had a break.
