[QUOTE="nvts, post: 350562, member: 3814"] Hi! Thank you all for all of the kind words. I'm sort of train-wrecking right now. It's now noon on Sunday and I'm putting on the "brave face". I just know in my heart that this thing is just over. And I guess I'm ok with that. Right now. I think all of you are right, I'm more so mourning that actually sad. Depression must be a terrible thing. This has been going on for years but the worst was being a single-parent in a two adult home. When it suited him, he'd discipline and occasionally say or do something nice. But make comments about everything (primarily critical comments)? He was full of them. When he made difficult child 2 (a real sweet kid) wet his pants, I was done. Direct your meaness to me - fine - I can handle anything - I mean c'mon, I'm me! But take it out on kids - not on my watch. It was funny. difficult child 1 lost his para (as he called his father figure) due to personel clashes, the asst. principal, his teachers, the lunch-teacher and his new para as well as the guidance counselor all met on Thurs. I told them that I intended to tell my husband that he needed to leave and they all jumped on the bandwagon. The lunch room teacher is this muscular, bald blue-eyed 30ish guy who clearly studied to be a gym teacher. He was sitting to my left and he's just a huge difficult child 1 fan. The ap (also a man) was concerned and wanted to know if I felt safe telling him to leave. I told them all that I could handle a Louisville Slugger better than most. The lunch teacher punched me in the arm and said "now THAT'S what I'M talking about! I knew I loved you for a reason!" I almost died laughing. What a hyper person. It felt so good to have this validation from such a group of people that care so deeply for difficult child 1. Suz: I clicked on your coping link. Thank you. I feel a little better. You all have so many similar experiences. I will try not to be a pest, but I hope it's ok to just vent on occasion here. I know I'll miss who he was, but will be relieved when who he is leaves. Thanks for everything! Beth :brokenheart::crying: [/QUOTE]
