[QUOTE="STRESSEDTOMAX, post: 54442, member: 3512"] Hi, Michelle- Lately, I feel like this all the time and so does my husband and it breaks my heart. However, we are only human and sometimes it's all too much to handle. I am going to be 44, my husband is 56, and we have two older children, 20 and 25 who, basically, gave us no problems. difficult child was a complete surprise and I can't help but question sometimes why this is happening to all of us, including difficult child, at this point in our lives. My husband's friends are all enjoying freedom after raising their kids and I honestly know that we would be enjoying our difficult child if we could just do simple things, like going to the community pool without a scene, going to the movies, park, etc. We no longer think about major things like vacations but even the little pleasures often seem impossible. I just read your blog and printed it out to reread when I need to. I had the exact situation in a grocery store one month ago-came out of nowhere- I wouldn't buy him a coloring book- and all hell broke loose. My difficult child however, runs away and so I had to drag him to the car. He also gets out of his carseat, throws things at me while I am driving, etc. He is in the process of evaluation now. He will be six in three weeks. Hang in there. It has to get better. Chris [/QUOTE]
