[QUOTE="Wiped Out, post: 86863, member: 1631"] Thanks Everyone, I do appreciate all of your support. SRL-It's definitely a hopeless feeling when they're in that downward spiral. Linda-I do know what you mean about not taking difficult child out of town. It is always a hard decision. We actually get respite when we go to husband's family-it's the ride home that is always so bad. An Residential Treatment Center (RTC) is always in the back of my mind. Busywend-I do hate that feeling of not being able to help difficult child through these times. WFEN and Susie- You are right about getting extra sleep and being good to myself. I'll be glad when January roles around and things start to calm down. I am trying to take good care of me with exercising and reading. Terry-I agree about the consequences. difficult child does get consequences. At times they seem to make a difference, when he is way out of control I don't think they do but at least it makes me feel better. Alison-Gentle hugs right back at you. I'm sorry M is spiraling too. Lynnp-You are definitely right about it being a vicious circle! Again thank you all for your support. difficult child had a better day but is still rough around the edges and having a difficult time with boundaries. I did go to the health club tonight and got in a great workout so I am feeling better. Now I need to get my November book club book and start reading! [/QUOTE]
