Are We Having Fun Yet? The joys and stresses of parenting
Miss my son
Hi parents,
I have been really struggling with my teen son. He is basically a good and loving kid. I know he is having a hard time with school. He has Aspergers, so along with the "normal" teen stuff he has that as well. So I know it is difficult for him. I have been doing alot of research so that is helping.
But I got to thinking about when he was little. Looking back at when he was a baby and growing up. My gosh I felt like I was mourning the loss of someone. I miss him...the little version, so much. It feels like the son I had is gone, and been replaced with this moody young man I don't know.
I know this is part of growing up and we will both get through it (I hope). Its just somedays I long for him to be my baby again. Or at least the little boy who actually liked me.
Anyone else feel like this sometimes?
