It was one mess after another all day - both kids. I'm exhausted and at my wits end to know what to do.We are not making any progress. Seems only that we are regressing.
I am sorry you are having one of "those" days. Unfortunately, progress isn't linear. The twins are making progress,even if today it doesn't seem like it. You are doing a great job- It just takes a while. Try to sneak some extra sleep into night. Prayer and Hugs!
I am so sorry. I know it is so discouraging. I happens to all of us that are parenting these hurt children though, so please know you are not alone. It's normal and okay. Just keep on keeping on and be consistent. No matter what. It will help build trust and when they do get back on track you will see better and faster progress the next time around.
It is especially hard for them to slide back into the things you have been working the hardest on because you know they can do it. I get so upset when Nate rages or acts like a crazed lunatic because I know what he is capable of.
Again, I am so sorry. Just know that tomorrow is another day and maybe, just maybe, things will be better tomorrow.
Hoping and praying they are!!!! You are doing great!
Sadly this is a journey where the steps back sometimes seem greater than the steps forward. Know that with time steps it will shift and it will be 2 forward and 1 back rather than 1 forward and 5 back. It is hard but the only thing you can do is be patient. I know that is easier said than done, don't forget to make sure that you get lots of breaks too.
