[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 250308, member: 393"] [SIZE=3][FONT=Comic Sans MS]"Hi" Traci & welcome. It sounds like you've done the diagnostic run around & you have a handle on what is seems to be going on with your difficult child. That's a huge first step. I'd like to offer at your daughter age to possibly add in to the medications she may be taking a gentle hormone ~ it's helped kt with her mood swings. Now for you & husband. You have to believe in your parental gut instinct with your difficult child. You know the drill; sounds like you've had the testing done & such. Now you have to believe in your gut this is right for your difficult child & get a treatment plan going. If your gut tells you something more is going on then you need to continue the search for help. Traci, I've taken months off from the continual advocating needed just to take care of me; take care of my marriage & my family as a whole. My tweedles didn't fall off the "pages" or get so lost they couldn't find their way home, however they were no longer the continual center of our attention. I had to do this if I was to maintain my health, my strength to continue on. I took piano lessons, started golfing 2 - 3 times weekly; of late, I'm painting in watercolors. As my husband recently passed away I'm finding that I need to do more of this, not less. In my mind, I find myself detaching more & more from kt & wm's antics while still holding onto my love for them. I hope this helps somewhat. You can only do what you are strong enough to do. If your difficult child saps you of all strength you are no good to anyone in your family, especially yourself. [/FONT][/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
