Angry at the 🌍 for pushing me aside not letting me Voice & Feel. For example my son's bday was recently 🎉 i invited 30+ ppl on my FB. The only thing that came of it was so called friends lying to my face abt y they cldnt come, Faking sickness. I cldnt even make a vent on my FB as ppl certain will jump dwn my throat & somehow turning it bak on me. All i wanted for my son was 4 him 2 enjoy his bday but no apparently that was 2 much to ask 4 😥😥
My whole life Ive dealt with ppl putting me dwn lying 2 my face using me abusing me. Metaphorically beating the fact Im not good enough 4 any1 Im 2 weird to quiet to loud. Im to negative. The list of it just goes on & on.

Hi Ramani
It can definitely be tough when we're surrounded by people who bring us down, put us down or keep us down. I believe the greatest challenge in this case is to refrain from asking the question 'What's wrong with me?'
You mention your son has special needs. This may sound like a bit of a strange question but is it possible that your son is offering you something you need? Could he be and even greater gift than what you already perceive him to be? While kids with special needs are typically labelled, once you take the label away you can find they have much to offer that the rest of the world can be oblivious to. As an example, whilst some kids can be labelled 'Autistic', to observe them in a rocking state whilst humming is no different to observing someone in deep meditation rocking back and forth humming. Both are considered calming exercises. One person does this naturally, whereas the other has learned to do it in a meditation class. Kids under labels have natural abilities we can miss seeing or understanding.
Wondering what natural abilities both your kids bring to life.
One of the best pieces of advice I was ever given was to find a circle of people who I would naturally vibe well with. Seeing I'm one of those spiritual gals who loves all things natural (aka known as one of those who's somewhat into all that 'weirdo psychic ', hmmm), I find that most people I know in life, in general, just don't do it for me. To gravitate toward those who can raise you to see and experience life differently or more naturally can make all the difference, especially to self-esteem. Example: You can be dealing with a lot of folk on Facebook who can perceive someone with special needs as being flawed. Suddenly, you become part of a community who says 'Okay, so what special abilities do you and your child have?' This circle of people feels no need to focus on perceived faults. They're very focused on support, growth, empowerment and sharing inspiration.
I have found you can either fight against or hate the world or you can focus on finding the people who you vibe with. Finding those we vibe with opens up a world of possibility and excitement. In this case, finally we begin to find that elusive flow people talk about.
In my opinion, someone who's labelled as having 'Special needs' needs more attention because they're incredibly special in so many amazing ways.
