[QUOTE="tiredmommy, post: 180950, member: 1722"] I felt like Ducking was rubbing my psyche raw with sand paper when she was about your difficult child's age. The only way I got through this stage was to watch her sleeping and to look through the family photo album. I have one picture in particular that makes me smile: my uncle snapped a picture of Duckie on Santa's lap at age three. They were having a very animated conversation and she was absolutely beaming with joy. It helps me to remember the good in her. I know this is hard, but try to remember that she's not choosing this. No child wants to be so nasty that her own mother doesn't want to be around her. You may want to try keeping your expectations at a bare minimum for the time being until you can get past this problem. Also, you need to find a way to get a break. Thirteen hours a day alone with a 5 year old difficult child and a 2 year easy child is just too much to ask of yourself. You need a break. Take out your calendar and find a way to have at least two hours of uninterrupted time for you in the next two weeks. You aren't going to be able to care for the kids if you don't take care of you!
