My son was like that. He would get so upset. It was quite awful and traumatizing for me as a single and brand new mom. It didn’t start getting better until he was 4. He is still delayed in communication but much much better. I would suggest early intervention. I had my son start at 18 months where he learned some sign language to alleviate the problems.

My daughter is 3 has yet to talk. She's in speech as well were hoping we start hearing words soon! Maybe you can have your pediatrician send a referral for some speech therapy!

No, don't feel bad. My son has Autism and didn't speak until after 2.5 years old and it was like single words. I always felt like I was talking to someone in a foreign country, we couldn't understand the other and it was frustrating and sad and I cried all the time. Have you reached out for resources like speech? You can ask his pediatrician for referrals? Sometimes the counties will also have resources as well.

I feel this way too with my son I just hope ot and speech therapy will help him so that he can express himself and also help me understand him
