[QUOTE="ML, post: 101515"] Everything set off difficult child tonight. No matter what I said or did it was wrong. He was angry, crying, pouting. He even smacked me on the arm out of frustration, immediately saying "I'm sorry". I think he was tired and I know his allergies were bothering him (chronic, horrible) He kept expressing his open dislike of husband, his step dad. "I hate you, d" He says it all the time. husband has been pretty emotionally remote for the better part of our marriage and difficult child feels strongly that my marrying him ruined his life. He complains that I love husband more than him, pay him more attention, etc. etc. It's not true. difficult child gets most of my attention, he demands it. But if I give one moment away he's upset and pouting. It's been a while since he's melted down like this. I was feeling like the Celexa was doing some good. Now I'm not so sure. We get new insurance in January. I have already scheduled a visit with a therapist/psychologist and a child psychiatrist. I'm ready to try a stimulant to see if it doesn't help him stay engaged in tasks. He is falling behind in school simply because he can't stay focused long enough to finish assignments or do homework for that matter. Sometimes I feel like my life is a Jerry Springer show gone bad. It feels so out of control. I need help and support. Thanks for having this place to vent. It really does help. I haven't been able to come here for a while with the pace of the night routine of come home, make dinner, homework fights, bathtime fights and then bed. I seem to be falling asleep exhausted right after he does. This last part is kind of off topic but if anyone has some ideas for very quick and healthful meals please message me. I'm looking for ways to make it easier at night. MicheleL [/QUOTE]
