Like a Ton of Bricks...

"That hit me like a ton of bricks."

Ugh... I Felt That...
That quote, made my stomach do flips. As a mom of a toddler who has communication issues, and is constantly feeling like I'm fighting him in every way, ironically I also found some relief when I read this.
The Struggle is REAL
The constant fight to get him to do what I want, instead of understanding what he wants has caused so much stress not just on myself, or Roman, but even on my relationship with my husband and other family.

Roman and I spending the afternoon together.
I know everyone has an idea of what I should do or be as a mom, but it doesn't work for us. By us, I mean Roman and myself. And to be honest, I shouldn't be forced or talked into parenting in a way that doesn't feel right to me. So, I don't.
The Bottom Line.
No matter the diagnosis. No matter the issue we face, I am praying, hoping and realizing that it will help me better understand my son. Not just communication wise, but understand who he is as a person. And I hope and pray, that will help me with the relationships in my life.
