[QUOTE="tryinghard, post: 146391, member: 4570"] Dara, I understand....it is a painful and exhausting place to be. I seem to dwell in that place too much. One thing that sometimes will work for me is to try and focus on the positives and the accomplishments my difficult child has versus the negatives. I also have to make an effort everyday to be positive. My easy child daughter told my husband i am not happy any more. I use to be fun and no longer am. husband asked me if that was true. I just wanted to cry. Yes it is true....I have the weight of the world on my shoulders everyday and no one notices except for easy child..... I love my difficult child with all my heart and want so much to do what is best for him. I read that in your post too...that is why you are so tired and frustrated...I am sure caring and worrying about your husband adds to the stress. I want you to know that at least for my difficult child it has gotten A LOT better with age. At three he was a lot like your difficult child. Now he rarely gets into trouble and is cooperative for the most part. Take it one day at a time..and don;t forget to breath and enjoy the moment. I am sorry about your grandfather..that just adds to the stress... This is a safe place to vent...and we all care about you and want to help. [/QUOTE]
