Ok so this may be long.... my little girl has a disability its quite a strain on my new relationship as she is quite a handful constantly screaming and getting into everything in site. Parter and i had a talk last night about needing some respite or to put her in daycare becayse we are both not coping.... In the end i felt hurt and like a burdon on him, told him this and he insisted that he knew i came with a 'funny farm'... 'circus' and that its not easy but he wants to make it work. Im not sure if im venting or if theres a question coming, but i just dont know what else i can do.... i love my child but im starting to resent her a bit.... it may sound selfish... but i give my all to her every day... i have nothing left inside of me.

I think every mum with a child with special needs feels like this at some stage, time to have a break, you need it for your own sanity. Also, it isn't your partner versus your child, don't feel guilty, I am sure you would feel the same way, possibly worst if partner wasn't around. Chin up, put yourself first for a change, it will make you a better mum.
