Thread: Hi, Yep… I’m a newbie here…

Hello,

My name is Stephanie Cunningham, i have 3 1/2 kids so far. My oldest is 5, my 2nd will be 4 in October, my 3rd is 2 and my 4th is 9 weeks with 31 more weeks of baking to go. I am married to an amazing man, Joshua. My 2nd son, Weldon who will soon be 4, was diagnoised with Autism on Dec 11, 2012. He is a brilliant little boy, i love him to pieces, he has always been my side kick but in the same area he has also been a source of many of my lives torements.

He has been potty trained for a little while now, but it is currently summer break for him. Starting about a week ago he has began to severely regress into peeing and pooping in his pants, as he did last Jan when we were in the process of moving. He needs to stimulation and routen of school but where I am in Texas there is not much at all to occupy him, that i can afford. I have gotten him into weekly bible study and kids church but I dont think it is enough. I have tried teaching him stuff to keep him busy at home but for him its not the same, i am suppose to be his mommy figure not his teacher so he does not treat me as he would someone else, and with his other sibilings it is exhausting.

Right now I feel as if i am truely stuck between a rock and hard place counting down the days until school begins again, but even when it does i am haunted by the fact this may not end with this new baby on the way and everything. I really just dont know what to do and any and all advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks! <3

No advice, but I feel for you! Hugs.
