I lost myself.
I am a special needs mama. Pouring all of my energy into caring for a profound nonverbal Level 3 Autistic kiddo and a Level 1 Autistic kiddo consumed every part of my life and at the same time, I was in a marriage that was circling the drain.
Somewhere along the way... after putting taking care of myself on the back burner for years... I stopped recognizing the woman in the mirror.
Eventually I made the hardest decision of my life. I ended my 10 year marriage and decided if I was going to be the mama my kiddos deserved, I had to stop lighting myself on fire to keep everyone else around me warm.
I started taking the action to put myself and my wellbeing first so I could be the absolute best mother to my kids I could be.
