[QUOTE="KateM, post: 129962, member: 1973"] Hey, Shari, you are a warrior mom dealing with much on your plate! As is often mentioned on this board, dealing with difficult children is a marathon, not a sprint. It's important not to get burned out. I just read your post about wee difficult child spiraling. I could really relate to your feelings about worry and guilt. It is truly a daily challenge to have a child with a hidden disability. The psychological stress can be overwhelming! Just the inner struggle -worried about difficult child, then comparing him to others who "have it worse" to feeling guilt that he is "better" than so many others, but you still worry about him, to then thinking" But he DOES have a powerful disability that Does impact daily living!" All your feelings are valid and have been experienced by moms of difficult children. Add the difficulties with husband, money, and throw additional difficult children into the mix and you can see why you have roller coaster feelings of fear, guilt, resgnation. The important thing is to keep YOU strong and healthy and for each person, it could mean different things. What is it that you are passionate about? Can you fit some" horse therapy" into your life right now? Whatever it is that helps YOU, please find some time to do it. [/QUOTE]
