We moved just after I wrote this and I forgot to come back and respond. <br /><br />I think exhaustion, adrenal fatigue and general health problems are huge within the parents of special needs children. It's just not discussed because we all just get on with it. <br /><br />I have a better grip on what is going on now and am starting to heal but have a way to go. This is my year and at the end of it I hope to be a healthy and more energized me.

I am glad that you are now going to look after number one (that being you of course!!!). I think that most of us go through the process of helping and doing for others, volunteering etc. It is a learning curve and the eventual conclusion is that you and immediate family come first. Then you have the energy to give to friends and other family. May you have a fulfilling 2013.Bright Side of Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08025195022971411268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1293413140088378218.post-26807127336950454042013-01-09T17:56:44.296+08:002013-01-09T17:56:44.296+08:00people don't realise how draining looking afte...people don't realise how draining looking after a special needs child can be. it has a massive impact on family and especially our health.

Took ages for me to feel better and even now I still have a way to go. I wonder how many other special needs parents get this? Anyway, thanks for sharing and hope you continue to make progress.
