[QUOTE="exhausted, post: 492432, member: 11001"] The laundry bunker was a great hiding place when my kids were young like yours! Welcome! Yes it does and can get better, but you'll have to work hard. I don't think one mom here will tell you it is easy. I saw trauma all over your first paragraph in the 2nd post. I am really big into trauma and have done much reading because trauma stole my lovely daughter from me. We fight every day to keep her head above water. We as adults have no idea how children will react to these events. It is hard to know what their brains process and what genetic predispositions arise if they have an early trauma. Some kids are rescilient(spelling??) and bounce with it, others take nose dives. Trauma research is not very old in the field. Really just began in late 70's. I just finished the pioneering book called, "To Scared to Cry". It has made a great impact on me. There is research happening right in my state as we speak that is suggesting most of the kids in the Juvenile Justice Sysytem have suffered trauma. It is life changing and brain changing and chemical changing-some books suggest it even affects DNA. Yes I agree with MWM, find a sliding scale place. Find someway to get help. Reach out to the school. Sometimes the counselor can help-they often know resources or can direct you to the district person who does. Call NAMI-they will know for sure. Keep reaching out here. It has saved me many times over the last months. It is the only place people understand, give support, ideas and tell you when you need to take care of yourself. I do get support at a NAMI group as well-though it isn't always enough. A big hug to you. Keep hope. [/QUOTE]
