Jena, I started seeing my therapist because I knew that I needed to find a way to deal with all of the junk that was going on here. She said to me exactly what Star is saying to you: You MUST take care of yourself. If you don't take care of you, no one else will do it for you.
Can you leave difficult child home alone, even for an hour? Take a walk in the park. Sit in the library and read a book that you've been wanting to read. Do yiou have a hobby that you've let fall by the wayside because of the all of the troubles at home? Pick it up again and get to it. It will help to take your mind off of the troubles that are surrounding you and will help you to relax. I am an avid cross stitcher, and for months I never picked up my needle. I was just too overwhelmed with difficult child stuff and how it was effecting everyone else, that I totally forgot to do the things that I wanted to do. I finally picked it up again, and there are days when it's hard to work on because of something difficult child did or said, but the point is that it gives me something else to concentrate on. Something else that needs my attention other than difficult child and all the issues that go along with him.
I hope you're feeling better today.
PM me if you need to.

PS - You could always come over here for an hour to vent if you want to. I'm not that far from you.
