Hi everyone, just venting out here as I know some people will understand me. I went to my son’s school Mother’s Day tea today and I found myself alone with just an empty seat right next to me. I looked around and mothers and kids were there sitting side by side while I was alone with my son running off somewhere. People will make this as a “me” problem but really, all I wanted was a few minutes with my son having a peaceful snack. He has been asking me why I don’t come to school events and the reason is because I have work. Now that I’ve made time, he just runs off. I don’t know if it’s worth coming to events like these. It is really lonely.

Hi guys, my husband and I are separating. We haven’t told our kids yet, 14 level 1 autism and 6 adhd. Has anyone out there been separated with neurodivergent children? How did you tell them? What problems did you have when they knew? Any advice? Please share your experiences. Thank you.

How do you go about kids that are uncomfortable with warm emotions? My teenage daughter does not want to be hugged or kissed. She wasn’t like that when she was younger. I respect her boundaries but it’s hard to show love when I can’t even hug her goodbye when I go to work. Sometimes I think to myself “what if this is my last day on earth and I haven’t even hugged my kid?”
