it sucks

It sucks to be the mom that doesn't get included in things cause they have to bring "that child of their's".
It sucks to find out that same child is tolerated but not liked.
It sucks to have to explain to that same child that their behavior and actions make others dislike them; especially when its the parents that dislike your child the most.
It sucks that you are tolerated because of "that child of your's".
It sucks that I'm doing this alone for the next 2.5 months and even when the help arrives things may not get better.
It sucks that you can't trust your own child.
It sucks to feel judged by others and looked at as a bad parent even though they try to cover and say "its not really you and your parenting skills"...bullshit I know that's what you all think.
It sucks to hurt this much when you love your child so much.
It sucks when you have to give up things you enjoy so you don't have to take that child out in public "just in case".
It sucks when you get sympathy for it all; especially from those who have well behaved children and children that don't do things like your child.
It sucks when you try everything you know to do to help your child but nothing seems to work.
It sucks when you think and wonder will your child ever be what you know they truely can be, and you're deeply afraid/terrified they won't.
It sucks to feel you're safer in your own home rather out and in the eyes of others.
It sucks to be this mom who thinks she isn't doing all she can and really just sucks herself.
It sucks to know you are a good mom and that when you are having problems like this all the pity and well wishes from your friends only make it worse.

Well, I love you and "that" child. And, that child is lucky to have you for a parent rather than one of those weak people that don't seem to have the ability to handle a dynamic child like yours.
