Some days I feel like a failure of a mom, and a person really. Today is shaping up to be one of those days.
This is what happens to a lot of us parents of kiddos with autism. We have the great days. When finally after almost nine years we have a pretty much potty trained kid. (Thank you God!) When they hug us or tell you they love you without being asked to.
Then you have today, and really the past few days. Regressive behavior. The meltdowns, (aka pounding the face, screaming, biting herself), the not being able to stand having her sister in the same room as her. (I know part is normal sibling rivalry, but not all).
Some days it is way too much. This is what we call a bad day, hopefully it can turn around and she will have a great day at IBI, but we shall see.
This is normally when I just give up on everything, (including this website/store/etc.), but not this time, something has to change.
So I may be working on more today/tonight we shall see.
