Ever feel like a......

FAILURE as a parent- today I do- Marcus had a good day today but lately it is one thing after another- I have spoken to his therapist and specialist and just need to keep being consistent-
just gets very tiring and when things are not going the way it should I feel like I have failed

And the one thing after another - small things accumulating into one big thing- referrals yes plural- spitting hitting-cussing -(rrrrrr- he learns it at school) hitting with his bag- TOs at school - not the normal ones secured and it is ok I sign a consent form- stealing things at home- defiance - willful disobedience- screaming hollering crying-and this has been Friday and Monday
Would anyone like to switch places for one day ad I mean when he is having a horrible day

I know I know we have come so far and we will have set backs and understand I know and yet when the set backs happen it is so exhausting
I will keep going though-
