[QUOTE="Fran, post: 384026, member: 3"] Welcome to our little corner of the world. Share more about difficult child so we can know more. Anything unusual about difficult child in the early years? Did she sleep well, eat well, play well? How does she do in school? Does she have any friends? What does she do in her free time? Any behaviors(other than separation issues) that stand out as different? How are her grades? We may not be able to do more than offer suggestions, point in other directions and share what has worked and not worked for us based on our experiences but at the very least you will know you aren't alone anymore. Marriages are complicated and delicate dynamics. You and husband must take time to reconnect. Schedule a couple of hours every week to just go for a cup of coffee and talk. Talk about kids, life, fun stuff. Just have that face to face conversations. Try to rekindle the reasons you both fell for each other. It got me through some low times. Each of you must parent in order for one to not burn out. I'm sure your husband wants to "fix" it but parenting doesn't work that way. Talk to him about taking over with difficult child one day that he is off. You really do need a break so that you aren't completely drained. Hugs, hang in there. [/QUOTE]
