Frusterated

In general today Im just frusterated with my life, this sounds so selfish of me, but I never wanted a child with any type of handicap, but I have one so deal with it. The handicap itself is not really what bothers me, its how much time I DON"T have to dedicate to it, life goes on.

When Im at work, Im usually researching or doing something productive towards finding a way to help Noel and help myself learn what I can do for her. Its so hard she can't tell me what she wants from me, what she can maybe see or can't see. When i have any extra money at all I buy the light up toys and I show them to her, sometimes she quiets down other times she doesn't. Tonite for instance, I come home and my husband tells me she has been so cranky all day, I pick her up and she is still so cranky and she eventually just holds on tight and calms down. I set her down to make dinner for her twin sister and the baby and her and she goes off again. How do I know whats wrong with her, she can't tell me , she can't show me.

This is where the selfishness comes in on my part, yes a normal sighted child not always the easiest to deal with either lol I know , her twin sister is all over the place, but what if you have somone that can't tell you anything. All i wanna know is how I can help you.

There are not  many resources out there that help, in our case having 2 children with disabilities and then one income that they say is above the poverty level we don't get any assistance. My husband stays home to be with the girls and I work my butt off trying to provide, sometimes I dont think family nor friends understand what its like. Im tired, im lonely, and sometimes Im just frusterated.

    Hang in there, sweetheart. Try have faith and remember that the will of God will never take you where the grace of God will not protect you.
    No one asks for children with special needs, but we all love our special children.
