[QUOTE="SearchingForRainbows, post: 96343, member: 3388"] I think the others have given you excellent advice. in my humble opinion, I think, as the others have already said, that difficult child needs to be reevaluated. It is impossible to reason or even try to reason with an unstable difficult child!!! I agree with those that said your husband is totally at the end of his rope. From reading your post, it doesn't sound like you want to end your marriage yet. So, I agree with those that believe family counseling would help. However, if husband doesn't want to go, there is no way this will be an option. As others have already said, you and husband need to be on the same page when it comes to handling difficult child. My husband and I went through some extremely rough times too. We managed to turn things around by having private weekly meetings where we discussed how we would handle our difficult children as a team. We don't always agree on how to handle all of the garbage that our difficult children throw in our direction, but we have learned to disagree and to try to respect the other's point of view. I truly know how hard it is to be where you are. It is a very lonely place. As I said in the beginning, I think difficult child needs to be reevaluated. Until he is stable, changes can't occur. I hope you and husband can work things out. I wish I had some answers for you. However, I think it is important when husband is calm, to talk to him about his latest response to difficult child. husband needs to find a way to get rid of some of his stress so situations like this don't continue to occur. Sending cyber hugs, WFEN [/QUOTE]
