I'm tired

my therapist suggested this.my son is 5 and autistic. im separated and currently going through a divorce with his dad. so im a newly single mother at 32.having a kid with autism is exhausting. "having a kid is exhausting." no, i said having an autistic kid is exhausting - and it is. i cannot for a single second let him leave my side, let alone eyesight. i broke my leg 4 weeks ago and he recently started eloping - this fun thing where he randomly decides to run out of the house and down the street. he gets lost without even knowing he's lost. how am i supposed to chase a child with a broken leg? especially a child who is hyperactive, escapes, runs away, terrorizes the animals, goes into and starts the cars, plays with electric sockets, and soooo much more.im tired and alone. how do you go through it? how do you live like this? via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/3xyoSEd
