'Being the only parent around to care for the kid who talks nonstop and has the energy of a grown man who’s downed three Red Bulls is not for the faint of heart.'
I’ve stepped into your world, and I have something to say.to your child, but you probably feel like you are failing at every turn. You’re not. Now give yourself a break.
Being a parent is challenging. We are given these little creatures to care for, to love, to nurture, but they don’t come with an instruction manual. Most of us wing it and hope for the best. We wonder if we are doing a good job, or if our children will require hours of therapy in adulthood to fix what we mucked up when they were kids.For parents of children with ADHD, the struggles and self-doubt can be worse.
But right now, when he’s away, it’s all me. I have no one to tag-team with in the morning when one child is unfocused and the other doesn’t want to get out of bed — and breakfast still hasn’t been made. I have to creatively plan when one child’s extracurricular activities conflict with my other child’s because I can only be in one place at one time. Most days I feel tired. Others I feel. At times I question if I am doing enough to help my kids cope with being separated from their dad.
Sometimes this really sucks. But you, single parent, deal with this all the time. You are the be-all and end-all for your child. You get up and take care of business despite your lack of sleep. You tackle the emotional roller coasters that come with ADHD. You advocate for your child and make sure she gets what she needs at school. You are likely drained and overworked. You spend all of your time thinking of others.
