Struggling mumma

I have a 2 and a half non verbal boy on spectrum and I feel like I’m failing him :( I also have a 5 week old and since having him my toddler has struggled with the change. All day today I’ve had tantrum after tantrum and he can’t tell me what’s wrong. I’m so burnt out and I just feel like I don’t know what to do to help him 😭 I can’t split myself in 2. He has now started launching toys across the room in anger/ frustration and has smashed the tv today 😔

Oh mate this sounds so hard. I can’t imagine how you’re feeling but there’s no blame for the situation! The fact you’re worried if you’re doing a good job shows you already are! Here if you want to chat x

My toddler is also on the spectrum and non verbal I’m due my second baby in June I can only imagine how your feeling and just know your doing everything you can your doing your best and your newborn is going to take up a lot of your time and that’s something your toddler will get use to eventually try see if you can do things alone with your toddler still like take him to the park just you and him when your recovered and feeling upto it , that’s if you got support of someone else to watch your newborn while you spend some time with your son. Or even attempt nursery so it gives him time to let of some steam and energy and it also gives you a break! To be able to rest x

@Katie he goes to nursery 2 and a half days a week which is nice as it’s only 2 days am home on my own with them both. My parter is so supportive and is constantly helping as soon as he gets in despite working all day. I just feel bad as I don’t want to dread the 2 days am on my own as I feel bad for my toddler and I miss him so much when he’s at nursery x
