[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 317308, member: 3444"] Take a deep breath with me now.... hold it... now exhale! Repeat three times, then say after me: God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference. The day will turn out however it's meant to turn out. It will be fine. You've got many hours between your verbal slip and the actual appointment. Odds are good that if you just let it go, husband will forget and the initial emotion you stirred in him will have subsided. Don't give it a second thought. Go to the appointment. Sit in the lobby. If they need your input, they'll let you know. I have a feeling the psychiatrist will want to talk to you in light of all that's gone on lately -- you are the best source of inside information! As for difficult child's appointment, it's perfectly fine to send him out of the room when the time comes to discuss husband's status. Just let the psychiatrist know that you'd prefer to spare difficult child the "boring details" or some other indicator to difficult child that he'll be free to leave at that point and save it for the end of the session so difficult child can hang out in the lobby. And it's perfectly fine if you DO break down. You are human and dealing with a huge plateful of stress. Who WOULDN'T need to release some of that emotion? And who better to release it in front of than a psychiatrist? Just because he's not YOUR psychiatrist doesn't mean he can't be understanding and helpful to you. (((Hugs))) You'll get through this!
