[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 159146, member: 3444"] Don't beat yourself up with guilt. I know I've had times where I wish I wasn't the parent of one or more of my difficult child's. I think it's a natural thing to feel when you are giving SO much of yourself day in and day out and when their behaviors are so challenging and demanding. One thing that was helpful for my own mental health was to get my own therapist. I also make sure to take time for myself -- even if it's at the expense of doing other things I think I should be doing. I figure a few crumbs here and there and some dust and clutter is less important than my own stability which is so vital to keeping everyone else around here on track. Hang in there! [/QUOTE]
