Whew, today has been a day. I feel like I am constantly being tried by the powers that be. I am responsible for two beautiful boys with autism, and I feel like I'm failing them. There's so much pressure placed on a Mom that a lot of people fail to acknowledge. On top of working full time, I have to put aside time to be a Mother to my children. Despite my being exhausted, depressed, and overwhelmed.... I have to show up for them. I can't even show up for myself half the time, but they deserve my best. I'm Worried that my best isn't good enough.

Damn, you sound like a great mother because you still show up. You're troubled but loving and caring. Your best is more than enough for those boys.
Don't be afraid to reach out to other mums. I think a support circle like that would help you. Heck, if someone else can take the kids off your hands for a day and you take the day off from working full time, do it. You deserve a well earned break. You're not a machine, lovely
