[QUOTE="nvts, post: 380105, member: 3814"] Thanks all of you. For all of the "shots in the arm". It was one of those days that just twisted my knickers "just so". AH hasn't shown up at the psychiatric hospital. for difficult child 1 once, nor has he called. The kid is running me ragged and difficult child 2 and 3 had just hacked me to no end. I think what got my goat was that all I kept getting from the little pill was that "I don't want you to hate me" "I want to be friends" "I don't want you to badmouth me to the kids" (that's the MOST insulting - I've never done ANYTHING like that! - I'm just letting him sink his own ship!) yet he didn't have the nerve to call and see how I was doing for the day - he knew I'd be upset - a FRIEND would make the call. He didn't call ANY of the kids all weekend long - he's only done a handful of what I call "drive by's" where he comes, does a load of laundry and leaves. About 1/2 of that time is spent yelling at them - I guess I should lighten up - at the beginning of this mess, he spent the WHOLE time yelling at them. I know that you're all right - the fact that so many of you have been through all of this and come out the other side better, stronger, faster (you bionic women know who you are!) helps so much. I guess I miss having a "partner in crime". As it stands right now, I'm being presented with the option of putting difficult child 1 in a psychiatric hospital. a possible Residential Treatment Facility (RTF) OR a boarding school - and no one to bounce all of this off. I'm sick to death of all of this landing on my shoulders without someone there to use as a sounding board. To top it all off, I found a guy to reglaze the bathtub very inexpensively and the twit just called me tonight and said he decided not to take the job (the appointment. is for 9:00 tomorrow morning) since he just now figured out that I wasn't in Brooklyn. Hello!!! We talked for 20 mins. about where I live two weeks ago!!! I scrubbed that bathroom like a madman so that it would be ready to go. Now I wanted to fix the sheetrock (over 4 years ago difficult child 2 was playing "Pirate Prisoner" in there, put his wrists up through the towel bar and was yelling "arrrrggghhh", slipped and tore the thing clear off the wall and tore the paper off the sheetrock - AH was FURIOUS!!!) take down the ugliest border known to man and repaint and then regrout the tub walls. Now I'm at a standstill because this DOPE cancelled. I just wish they'd stop peeing on my head and tell me it's raining. Somethings GOTTA give! Thank you in advance for allowing me to continue on this path of "whoa is me". I'm not used to feeling this way and my patience is at an ebb. Beth [/QUOTE]
