[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 160839, member: 3444"] I am so sorry you are feeling so completely overwhelmed and just done with the whole situation. I can appreciate what it's like have a husband who is not on the same page. It was like that here for about the first 13 years of our parenting career and it's only been in the past 6 months (since lovely Lamictal) that I feel like my husband is finally seeing the light. But I digress. I don't have much in the way of specifics to offer with your particular situation. Perhaps a solo vacation would do you good -- help you blow off some steam, refocus on your personal priorities, boundaries, goals, let husband flounder with difficult child for a bit to taste the reality of it all and hopefully understand a little better? I do have a tip for the urine problem. At pet stores there is a product called Simple Solution. It's non-toxic, safe for most fabrics and has a pleasant scent. You just squirt it all over the soiled fabric and let it dry. It breaks down the odor-causing substance and the by-product is carbon dioxide and water. Works great for vomit too :) Before I had kids, I had two retarded cats that preferred my carpet over their litterbox, so I went through gallons of this stuff. Then when the kids came along, I found the leftover stuff under my kitchen sink when somebody had puked in bed one time and it got rid of the stench completely! Worked when they wet the bed, too. And no, I don't own stock -- it just worked so great for such an annoying problem. Hope you get some time to take care of you and then maybe you can regroup and come up with a long-term plan that makes sense for you -- even if it isn't what everyone else wants. Hang in there!
