[QUOTE="DDD, post: 363484, member: 35"] Welcome. My first thoughts are exactly as the first two "CD family" members posted. I had seven years experience as a single Mom and you have my sympathy. It is so so hard to be the sole parent of a difficult child because it is downright scarey. Do you have anyone you can really trust to help you sort the options in your community?
