How would you feel

I’m writing this cause I just want to see whether I’m in the wrong for feeling like I have nobody while dealing with the situation I am in. I have a 4yr old daughter undergoing being diagnosed with autism she attacks me badly and mainly me and i have heard kids go for the one they are comfortable with but being told she doesn’t love me she hates me trying my best to help her anyway possibly can being there for her even if I don’t understand what’s going on it hurts completely and it leading into her going for me then on top of it her dad isn’t home he works away and I feel like I’m not allowed to feel angry or sad and that I don’t feel I have him to talk to cause it feels like someone else is always more important than me or our little one I feel I would always put more into our relationship and family to make sure they are both okay loved happy supported but feel like I’m the bad one cause I haven’t been okay I have nobody around here I’m new to the area so I’m completely isolated and not sure what to do

Show your support

You definitely have every right to be struggling in a situation like this. What kind of support is she receiving? Are there maybe some groups you can talk to in your area? Such as charities. Also your gp should be able to refer you for therapy. There are some groups of mum with children with autism and other disorders here.

The situation you’re in is really difficult the way you’re feeling is completely normal. Like above have you been signposted to any services that might help you and your LO. I used to work for action for children they run lots of projects up and down the country that support ASN children and their parents. Could you tap into anything like that for a bit of support? As for your partner I think a chat about how much it’s affecting you and what he can do to better support you is needed. I hope you and your LO both get the support you need 💖💖

Are you Uk based and where? as I found the earlybird course quite useful. They talk a lot about icebergs and what is underneath it. Also when is she lashing out? Is there a pattern? Is it anxiety related or being overstimulated? At that age we did visual timetables. Behaviour does change and evolve x
