So as you read in my posts, caring for a child, especially one with special needs can be a challenge. Because my wife has had to stay home, we have ended up with considerable debt. I am currently researching some “second” part-time ways to earn income. I will review them as I find methods that work.
So my one son has GAD. I am just a year into this fatherhood thing. Though I wouldn’t say it’s easy to jump into it in the best circumstances, this has made it all the more challenging. But I wouldn’t change it for the world. I try sometimes to put myself in his shoes. It’s hard for me to worry too much at all, at least obsessively. I do worry when it’s appropriate to do so, but I can also let it go. His doctor has tried to put us in his world, where you worry about everything, compulsively. He worries about growing up, because then people will die. He worries of you open the back door the dog will run out. he worries that if he goes to school something will happen at home, or that no one will come get him. It has to be exhausting.
I started out 34 years ago with a normal life. I am on my second marriage with two wonderful step-sons. One has a severe anxiety disorder, which has made my wife saty home this school year, and landed us in 40K of debt. Not just because of the anxiety but he also has a severe learning disability which I will explain more later. I hope that you will stop by often to see how we are doing, and hopefully see that tomorrow always comes, and can always be better than today.
