Hi Kelly,
My child has autism, and I understand completely how you feel about not doing enough. I have also been divorced (and remarried) and know what you are feeling. Please know that, despite what you are feeling, you are doing all that you can right now to help your child. You need to first help yourself before you can be of support to others. If you need to talk, I am here. I know that it can feel incredibly lonely and isolating at times when you have a special needs child, and that can lead to feelings of depression in and of itself.
Thanks,
Amy
