The Other Side of the Coin

[image error]There is a side to me that not a lot of people get to see. That is not their fault. It is my own fault because I keep that side of me tucked away so people do not see my vulnerable side. I show the superwoman side. I want people to think that I am strong & that I’m not letting my son’s mental disabilities/illnesses get the best to me. But in reality, that is horseshit. (excuse the language)

My son having a dual diagnosis of autism and extreme mood disorder is an absolute nightmare. I recently made the decision to take him off of medication because when we moved we had to jump through a lot of hoops to try to keep him on the ones that worked. Epic fails on the doctors’ here’s parts. They kept changing it, ignoring my calls, I switched providers same issue and my son’s behaviors regressed. He became violent and had another psychotic breakdown. So, yep, I took him off medication.

Now, I am battling through it until the natural stuff I ordered comes in the mail. Also waiting on the adjustments to the household food items sink into all of us (wasn’t happy about that extra $$$ for gluten free, but it is what it is.). Waiting for the order in the home to come back. I had started working, but due to my son going psycho (before the meds were cut off) & the babysitter calling and/or texting NON-STOP, I quit. I haven’t been able to work since November of 2015.
