Ask for help.
There, this post is done.
lol, ok, seriously though. It's true.
I'm writing this post for all the people who have helped us along the way. Help has come from places I didn't even know existed. Help came in the form of close friends and not so close friends. Some help has been free, some help has been paid for. Some help was expected, some wasn't.
The point is it doesn't always appear in the ways you think it should/would. It doesn't always come from the people you most want it from, but if you ask and keep an open mind, it will come. Don't say no to offers, however small! In general, people want to help you!
You don't need to make excuses for needing help either. If you are a special needs parent, you have more on your plate. Maybe you don't trust anyone else to watch over your child, but you can stay with them and let someone else wash the dishes. Or let someone cook you a meal. There are lots of options if you think outside the box.
That's how not to become overwhelmed with life.
Then, when all is said and done, don't forget to say THANK YOU!
