[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 485683"] Sue, I'm so sorry that you've been hurting. Yes, I can relate. Years ago, I often found myself drained, sensitive and anxious. Then...I think it was more of the flat affect that you described. I have often felt isolated by this, but have come to realize that many more families than what appears on the surface have to deal/cope with a difficult child in their midst. I still sometimes struggle with certain things, but not nearly as much as before. One a positive note...Having a difficult child has made me more empathetic toward others. (Love your quote!) I too have gone to counseling from time and time and have found it very helpful. The right therapist can be such a blessing. AFter I made the decision to let go of certain things and to practice top notch self care, my life blossomed in a [U]VERY positive way. [/U]Sending you good thoughts for strength and MUCH happiness! Hang in there!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) [/QUOTE]
