Any single moms or Dads here taking care of a special kid?

[Ivy]

I'm mum to an amazing little baby, he's 2 and he's just sunshine in my life. I'm on my own and most of the time my mom and my family are there for me. But I feel like it's time I start painting again (I'm an artist) but it makes me very nervous. I want to take a months break and just focus on refreshing my soul and just being happy. I want to stop therapies for my son for a month but I'm not sure if it's the right thing. I feel very burnt out and exhausted at this time.
Does anyone else feel selfish doing anything they used to love before being a parent?

Hello Ivy, parenting is challenging and the assurance the little ones need relationally is not to be underestimated. It is the primary building block for healthy self esteem. You are fortunate having your parents as a back stop. Be strong and make good choices.
