You are not alone:))
Sometimes parents put all the responsibility on their shoulder.. they get overwhelmed with all the work and the commitments, they forget that there are people around them who love them and care about them.. 
Include your family in every step you take with your child.. show them how to do any exercise or any therapy that you normally do at home.. take them with you to therapy, let them in.. they will be there for you and will know what to do if you are not there for any reason.. don't do everything alone cause you think you will do it better, if you teach them they will do it as good too:)) 

We have a beautiful family who invested themselves in Tala's case.. they wanted to learn everything and help in anyway they can.. everyone in the family became a therapist.. everyone in the family educated themselves about challenged kids.. her aunts used to take her to therapy when I didn't feel like it, her grandparents made miracles with her.. even my beautiful nieces ages 4 and 10, we explained to them everything simply and you would be amazed how sensitive and compassionate kids are.. Tala's cousins in the states, 3 beautiful girls ages 13, 11 and 6 understand her situation and they ask what can they do to help.. they became young therapists at home who play and teach Tala at the same time.. Ali's sister looked up rehabilitation centers and doctors in the states just in case..

having someone next to you makes you feel safe, you worry less about the future when you know that Tala is surrounded by people who would drop everything for her.. 
include your friends, they will support you, emotionally at least.. you will find someone to vent to and talk about how you feel... your friends will understand your frustrations, your anger.. they will take you out and give you a break..

Don't hide your situation from your colleagues and your boss at work..when people know, they will try to do their best to provide you with what you need.. I was blessed with an amazing boss who fully understood my situation and tried as much as possible to facilitate things for me so I can work and take care of Tala.. i was blessed with my colleagues who always understood when I can't go to work or have to leave early.. they always covered for me gladly.
Everyone was cheering Tala on with every achievement she made and gave me and Ali the moral support we needed..

if I was ashamed of Tala and never told anyone about her, if me and Ali weren't so open about it we would've been isolated in a bubble alone, and no one can do anything alone.. no one.. No matter how strong you are.. you need people.. make people, if you don't have anyone.. make friends from rehabilitation centers you go to.. make friends from the club.. Reach out for other mothers from their blogs.. 
Breathe, Relax, You are not alone:)))


Have a great evening:)
