[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 359008, member: 6546"] This is where I am finding myelf "existing" without a plan....no goals for peace and harmony in my home....everything is about difficult child--giving to her, doing for her, everything must revolve around her and her feelings. Am I depressed? I would say, I am "scarily depressed"....I am so far beyond regular depression--and I recognize how far I am getting. For me? Medication? Therapy for myself? What a joke! I don't need therapy as much as I need a practical solution. difficult child's doctor says to me "[I]O just relax [/I]!" or "[I]You need to take a break [/I]!"--but there is no strategy for how I am actually supposed to do that. I've told her I cannot leave the children home alone together....so I can't go "out". doctor acknowledges this. Docs suggestion is that I should go "out" by spending time in the backyard by myself and just let the kids battle it out inside the house if they get into a disagreement. Yea, great. I told her that difficult child does not have any empathy for DS [I]at all[/I] and will not hold back from causing DS serious injury or even killing him. She has already bloodied him on several occassions as well as trying to choke him and poison him. doctor does not have any answer for this....but yea--I should take a "break". So life goes on this way... [/QUOTE]
